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. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  3. 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

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

Gira operates a B2B and B2C hybrid business model, distributing products exclusively through professional electrical trade partners and installers, ensuring quality installation and customer support. The company leverages a strong partner ecosystem including Gira Studio Partners and System Integrators, enhancing customer reach and service quality. Their marketing and analytics infrastructure is robust, supporting targeted campaigns and user engagement while respecting GDPR compliance. The company maintains a consistent brand image and provides extensive resources such as brochures, technical data, and planning tools, indicating a customer-centric approach. The presence of multiple contact channels and localized content supports diverse customer segments across Germany and neighboring countries.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and privacy-conscious analytics implementations. Consent mechanisms for cookies and tracking scripts are implemented, aligning with GDPR requirements. Use of Google reCAPTCHA protects forms from automated abuse. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of publicly available security or incident response policies represent areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing security policies and implementing additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible from the website.
  2. Add and enforce HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance transparency by providing a dedicated vulnerability disclosure or security contact channel.
  5. Continue to maintain and improve privacy compliance with clear user consent and data handling disclosures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Vue.js components, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics with IP anonymization, Facebook Pixel, and Matomo analytics. It employs asynchronous and deferred script loading to optimize performance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Hosting appears to be stable with German-based DNS servers. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter card metadata. Performance is moderate, with opportunities to improve load times by optimizing third-party scripts and leveraging advanced caching strategies. The site lacks explicit CMS identification but shows a custom or proprietary framework usage. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence.
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.
