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

Fittkau Metallgestaltung GmbH is a German small-sized manufacturing company specializing in metalworking, forge, and artistic metal structures. The company presents a professional website built on Joomla! CMS, showcasing a portfolio of projects and providing essential contact information. The website targets architects, construction firms, and clients seeking specialized metal fabrication services. The business holds a reputable market position with recent award recognition, indicating industry credibility. Technically, the website employs legacy JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and MooTools, with moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. The absence of advanced analytics and tracking tools suggests a privacy-conscious approach. However, the lack of visible security headers and outdated libraries indicate areas for technical improvement. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS (assumed from base URL), includes a cookie consent mechanism, and provides a privacy policy compliant with GDPR. No incident response or security policy pages are found, and no phone contact is provided, which could limit user trust. No critical vulnerabilities or blocking mechanisms are detected, but updating security practices and technical stack is recommended. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy with good business credibility but could benefit from technical modernization and enhanced security measures to improve resilience and compliance.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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 company operates in the manufacturing sector, focusing on metalworking and artistic metal design. Its business model is B2B, serving architects and construction companies. The website reflects a consistent brand with a clear portfolio and recent awards, indicating growth and market recognition. The absence of social media and limited contact channels suggests a traditional business approach. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, indicating an independent small business. The company maintains GDPR compliance and basic privacy practices, supporting its reputation in the European market.

Security posture

The security posture is moderate with HTTPS usage and cookie consent implemented. However, the website lacks modern security headers and uses outdated JavaScript libraries, which could expose it to certain vulnerabilities. No incident response contacts or security policies are published, limiting transparency in case of security events. No exposed sensitive data or forms with insecure inputs are detected. The site would benefit from updating libraries, adding security headers, and publishing incident response information to enhance security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade JavaScript libraries to current stable versions to reduce vulnerability risks.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience and compliance.
  5. Consider adding phone contact information to increase trust and ease of communication.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla! CMS with multiple JavaScript libraries including jQuery, MooTools, and Widgetkit. The use of older versions of jQuery and jQuery UI indicates technical debt. The site uses a slideshow background with Vegas plugin and superfish menus for navigation. CSS and JS files are locally hosted. No modern frontend frameworks or analytics tools are detected. Performance is moderate with basic SEO meta tags. Accessibility features are minimal. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but outdated, requiring modernization to improve security and performance.
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.
