Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks such as Nuxt.js and uses Storyblok CMS, hosted on AWS CloudFront. The site is well-optimized for mobile and SEO, with good accessibility features. However, performance is moderate and could be improved. From a security perspective, the site employs several security headers and has a proactive PSIRT program. However, the SSL certificate is currently invalid, which is a critical issue that impacts the overall security posture. Other security best practices are in place, but improvements in SSL configuration and CSP are recommended.

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

4 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

    • 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. 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

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

Frauscher holds a significant market share in the railway detection industry, with over 600 employees and installations in more than 100 countries. The company operates under the Delachaux Group and targets rail operators, integrators, and engineering firms. Its business model combines product manufacturing with software and lifecycle services, enabling a diversified revenue stream. The company emphasizes innovation, quality certifications, and global partnerships, positioning itself as a trusted partner in the transportation sector. Growth indicators include expanding global presence, new product development, and active participation in industry events.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The presence of security headers and a PSIRT program indicates a proactive approach to security. However, the invalid SSL certificate is a critical vulnerability that could expose users to risks such as data interception. The site lacks OCSP stapling and has a limited CSP, which could be enhanced to mitigate risks further. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are well-implemented, supporting compliance with GDPR. Incident response details are not publicly available, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security culture appears positive but requires addressing critical SSL issues.

Recommendations

  1. Renew and properly configure the SSL certificate to ensure HTTPS security.
  2. Enhance Content-Security-Policy to cover scripts, styles, and other resources comprehensively.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling to improve SSL performance and security.
  4. Publish clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies.
  5. Maintain and regularly update privacy and cookie compliance mechanisms.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including Nuxt.js, Tailwind CSS, and Storyblok CMS, hosted on AWS CloudFront. It is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured data. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in load times and resource optimization. The site employs modern accessibility features, enhancing usability. Technical risks include the invalid SSL certificate and incomplete security header implementation. Opportunities exist to improve performance and security configurations to enhance user trust and operational resilience.
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.
