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

Frankenberg-Metallrecycling GmbH is a well-established family-owned metal recycling company based in Germany, specializing in the recycling and trading of zinc, tin, lead, and other metals. With over 65 years of experience and a certified waste disposal status, the company serves industrial and commercial clients across Europe, offering sustainable recycling solutions and related services. The website reflects a medium-sized business with a clear focus on metal recycling and environmental compliance. Technically, the website runs on an Apache server with legacy JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.10.2 and includes Google Analytics for tracking. However, the absence of HTTPS and modern security headers significantly weakens the site's security posture. The site is basic in mobile optimization and accessibility, with no CMS or advanced frameworks detected. Performance metrics are unavailable, indicating potential monitoring gaps. From a security perspective, the lack of SSL/TLS encryption is a critical vulnerability, exposing users to data interception risks. No advanced security policies or incident response contacts are published, and cookie consent mechanisms are missing despite cookie usage. The domain registration data is consistent with the business claims, supporting legitimacy. Privacy policies exist but are basic, and GDPR compliance is implied but not explicitly detailed. Overall, the website is functional and professional but requires urgent security improvements, especially HTTPS implementation and enhanced privacy compliance. Strategic recommendations include upgrading security infrastructure, implementing cookie consent, modernizing the tech stack, and publishing clear security and incident response policies to build trust 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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"

    • 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';…

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 holds a solid market position as a regional leader in metal recycling with a long-standing family business heritage. Its business model focuses on B2B metal trading and recycling services, targeting industrial and commercial sectors. The company leverages its certification as a waste disposal specialist to differentiate itself and comply with environmental regulations. Revenue streams likely include metal trading, recycling services, and logistics for waste collection. The website indicates a consistent branding approach and professional communication, though digital maturity is moderate. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries are disclosed, suggesting a focused operational scope. Growth opportunities may lie in digital transformation and enhanced online presence. SecurityPosture: The current security maturity is low due to missing HTTPS and lack of security headers. No known vulnerabilities in libraries are detected, but the use of outdated jQuery versions poses risks. Compliance gaps exist in cookie consent and incident response transparency. Data protection practices are minimal, with no DPO contact or vulnerability disclosure. The company should prioritize security upgrades and compliance to mitigate risks and align with GDPR and NIS2 requirements. Recommendations include immediate SSL deployment, cookie consent implementation, updating JavaScript libraries, publishing security policies, and enhancing incident response readiness. These steps will improve trust, reduce risk, and support business continuity.

Security posture

The website currently lacks a valid SSL/TLS certificate, resulting in no HTTPS support, which is a critical security deficiency. Security headers are minimal and do not include modern protections such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options. The server uses Apache with HTTP/2 upgrade support but no session resumption or OCSP stapling is enabled. DNSSEC and CAA records are not configured, reducing domain security. The site uses outdated JavaScript libraries, increasing vulnerability exposure. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is present, and no incident response contacts are published. Cookie consent mechanisms are absent despite cookie usage. These factors collectively indicate a low security maturity level, exposing users and the business to potential risks such as data interception, cross-site scripting, and compliance violations. Immediate remediation is recommended to install SSL, enhance headers, update libraries, and improve privacy and security transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Install and configure a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and inform users about cookie usage.
  4. Update JavaScript libraries to supported, secure versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information, including a security.txt file.
  6. Enable DNSSEC and CAA records to improve domain name security.
  7. Improve mobile responsiveness and accessibility to enhance user experience.
  8. Regularly audit and monitor website performance and security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on an Apache server with HTTP/2 upgrade capability but lacks HTTPS due to no SSL certificate. The front-end uses legacy JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.10.2 and jQuery UI 1.8.7, along with Lightbox 2.6 for UI elements. Google Analytics is integrated via gtag.js for visitor tracking. The site uses multiple CSS files for styling and responsive design targeting 980px and 760px breakpoints, indicating basic mobile optimization. No CMS or modern frameworks are detected, suggesting a custom-built or legacy platform. DNS records show hosting on kasserver.com with no DNSSEC or CAA records configured. Performance metrics are missing or zero, indicating a lack of monitoring or reporting. The site structure is clear with navigation menus and multi-language support (German and English). Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but outdated and lacking modern security and performance best practices.
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.
