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

Gebrüder Weiss is a globally operating full-service logistics provider specializing in transport, supply chain management, warehousing, and digital logistics solutions. The company holds a strong market position in Europe with a broad international footprint and a comprehensive portfolio of services tailored to both business and private customers. Their website reflects a mature digital presence with multi-language support and extensive service information. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging modern web technologies including lazy loading, consent management via Usercentrics, and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The site is well-optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility, indicating a high level of digital maturity. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and integrates cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks visible security headers and a public incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy. The WHOIS data is missing or unavailable, which is unusual for an enterprise-grade domain and warrants further investigation. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with additional headers and transparency. The overall risk assessment is moderate with strong business credibility and technical implementation but some concerns around domain registration transparency. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing incident response contacts, and clarifying domain registration details to improve trust and compliance.

NIS2 Art. 21(2)

  1. (a) Risk analysis and security policies: Not visible from outside

  3. (c) Business continuity, backups and crisis management: Not visible from outside
  4. (d) Supply chain security: Not visible from outside

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. 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';…

  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.

Business context

Business profile

Gebrüder Weiss operates in the transportation sector as a full-service logistics provider with a diversified service offering including supply chain management, land, air, sea, and rail transport, warehousing, and digital logistics solutions. The company targets business clients and private customers requiring reliable and transparent logistics services. Their competitive advantages include a strong European presence, extensive subsidiary network, and recognized certifications such as EcoVadis. The business model is service-oriented with digital integration to enhance customer experience. Growth indicators include recent awards and active marketing campaigns. The partnership ecosystem includes subsidiaries and business units like Kapeller, dicall, and DPD, enhancing their market reach and service capabilities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS and a robust cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. There is no publicly available incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which limits transparency and readiness perception. Compliance with GDPR is evident, but additional security best practices and policies would strengthen the security culture and incident preparedness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated incident response page or security contact email to improve transparency and facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  3. Develop and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible security reporting.
  4. Investigate and clarify the missing WHOIS domain registration data to ensure domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  5. Continue to maintain and update GDPR compliance mechanisms and regularly audit third-party scripts for security and privacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and flexible content management system suitable for enterprise use. It uses modern front-end technologies including lazy loading for images, modular JavaScript, and font embedding for consistent branding. The site is optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with clear navigation and SEO-friendly metadata. Performance is fast with asynchronous script loading and optimized assets. The technical infrastructure supports a multi-language and multi-country setup, indicating a scalable and well-architected platform. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and improve domain registration transparency to reduce technical risks.
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.
