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

5 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 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';…

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 primarily in the transportation and defense sectors, focusing on B2B relationships with naval and governmental clients. Its business model centers on engineering and manufacturing high-performance naval components backed by lifecycle support and training services. The presence of a parent company (Gabler Group) and partnerships (e.g., VGROUP) indicate a broader corporate ecosystem. The website's content and structure emphasize expertise, reliability, and innovation, supporting its market position as a leader in submarine technology. The company maintains active communication channels and a professional brand image, which supports customer trust and engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and Cloudflare integration for DNS and bot management. Cookie consent is managed via CookieYes, ensuring GDPR compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for enhancement. There is no publicly available security policy or incident response contact, which could improve transparency and preparedness. Overall, the security measures are adequate for the business type but could be strengthened to align with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and provide incident response contact information.
  4. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and cookies to ensure ongoing privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern front-end stack including jQuery, Swiper.js for sliders, GSAP for animations, and Lenis for smooth scrolling. It integrates multimedia content via Vimeo and YouTube APIs, enhancing engagement. Hosting and DNS are managed through reputable providers (Vautron Rechenzentrum AG and Cloudflare). Performance is optimized with asynchronous script loading and responsive design, ensuring fast load times and excellent mobile usability. SEO is well addressed using Yoast SEO plugin and structured data (JSON-LD). Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced with ARIA landmarks and roles. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a robust, scalable, and user-friendly website.
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.
