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

Bosch Building Automation GmbH, formerly GFR mbH, is a subsidiary of the Bosch Group specializing in innovative building automation solutions focused on comfort, efficiency, and sustainability. The company leverages Bosch's strong brand and technological expertise to serve facility managers, building owners, and energy managers primarily in Germany. Their offerings include system automation, room automation, building management software, and related services. The website is professionally designed, well-structured, and provides comprehensive information about their portfolio and corporate identity. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager and Qualtrics for analytics and surveys, with good mobile optimization and accessibility. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and consent management, though explicit security policies and incident response details are absent. WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly reduces transparency but does not detract significantly from trust given the strong Bosch affiliation and professional presentation. Overall, the site demonstrates a mature digital presence aligned with Bosch's corporate standards.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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"

    • 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';…
  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

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 energy sector with a focus on building automation and energy efficiency solutions. As a Bosch subsidiary, it benefits from a strong market position and brand recognition. The business model is B2B, targeting large enterprises and facility operators. The website indicates a broad portfolio of services and products, including software and hardware solutions. Partnerships with related Bosch entities and external sustainability consultants enhance their ecosystem. The presence of a dedicated partner portal and active social media channels suggests a well-developed partner and customer engagement strategy. The company appears to be large in size and well-established, although specific founding dates are not disclosed. The website content quality and branding consistency are excellent, supporting a high level of business credibility.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses consent management for cookies, reflecting compliance with GDPR requirements. Security best practices such as secure forms with explicit consent checkboxes are implemented. However, there is no visible security policy, incident response information, or vulnerability disclosure program, which are important for transparency and trust in security maturity. No security headers were detected in the provided data, and no vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The security score is good but could be improved by publishing explicit security documentation and adding security headers. Incident response readiness and data protection officer contact information are not publicly available, representing a compliance gap.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Implement and advertise a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Add security HTTP headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Provide contact details for a Data Protection Officer or security contact to enhance compliance.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain GDPR compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Google Tag Manager for analytics, YouTube iframe API for embedded videos, and Qualtrics for surveys. Custom Bosch JavaScript and CSS files are used for styling and functionality. The site is mobile optimized with good accessibility features and SEO meta tags. Performance is moderate, with some external dependencies that may affect load times. The use of web components for privacy settings indicates a modern approach to consent management. No CMS or hosting provider details were identified. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with opportunities for performance optimization and enhanced security header implementation.
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.
