0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

The Industrieverband Feuerverzinken e.V. is a German industry association specializing in corrosion protection of steel through hot-dip galvanizing (Feuerverzinken). The website serves as a comprehensive resource for planners, engineers, and industry professionals, offering detailed information on sustainability, technical standards, and applications of galvanized steel. The organization holds a strong market position as a leading industry body with a medium-sized footprint and a focus on manufacturing and non-profit sectors. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS with modern JavaScript and analytics integrations, providing a good user experience with mobile optimization and accessibility. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though improvements could be made by implementing security headers and publishing explicit security policies. The absence of WHOIS registration data is a notable anomaly but does not detract from the overall legitimacy indicated by the website content and social media presence. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-maintained.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…
  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The association operates as an essential entity within the manufacturing and construction sectors, targeting professionals involved in steel construction and corrosion protection. Its business model revolves around providing knowledge, standards, and advocacy for the hot-dip galvanizing industry. The website features awards, sustainability campaigns, and educational materials, indicating active engagement with its community and stakeholders. The presence of multiple social media channels and detailed policy documents reflects a mature digital presence. Growth indicators include recent news about industry events and rebranding efforts. The lack of WHOIS data suggests a need for verification but does not currently impact operational credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with enforced HTTPS and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism that complies with GDPR. Analytics tools used include Matomo and Meta Pixel, with clear data retention policies disclosed. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces the security score. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. There is no dedicated security policy or incident response contact information, which could be improved to enhance trust and readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from additional hardening and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Include a clearly visible company contact email address for general and security inquiries.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, indicating a stable and scalable infrastructure. The use of Matomo analytics shows a preference for privacy-conscious tracking. The site employs modern JavaScript bundles and SVG icons for performance and visual quality. Mobile optimization and accessibility are well addressed, contributing to a positive user experience. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in caching and asset delivery. The lack of visible hosting provider information limits deeper infrastructure analysis. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business goals effectively with opportunities for security and performance enhancements.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
