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

3 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 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';…

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 positions itself as a specialized supplier in the manufacturing and transportation sectors, offering a broad product range and personalized solutions. Its business model focuses on B2B sales with an emphasis on quality and customer service, supported by a dedicated sales team and partner network. The presence of a dedicated webshop for industrial clients indicates digital maturity and a focus on streamlined procurement. Partnerships with other industry players enhance its market reach. The company targets industrial clients requiring reliable drive technology components, emphasizing flexibility from single pieces to series production. Growth indicators include active news updates and a professional online presence.

Security posture

GLIEWE GmbH's website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of the Wordfence security plugin, and a comprehensive cookie consent banner aligned with GDPR requirements. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. There is no publicly available incident response or security policy page, nor a vulnerability disclosure mechanism like security.txt. Overall, the site is secure for typical business operations but could enhance defenses and transparency to further reduce risk.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program with a security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to avoid potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1 using WPBakery Page Builder and Slider Revolution, indicating a modern and flexible CMS environment. Real Cookie Banner Pro is used for GDPR-compliant cookie management. The site loads jQuery 3.7.1 and integrates Google Fonts and Google Tag Manager for font and tag management. Performance is moderate with caching and minification evident. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and JSON-LD structured data. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation and accessibility could be improved. Hosting provider details are not explicitly detected from the HTML content.
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.
