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

Hahn-Schickard-Gesellschaft für angewandte Forschung e.V. is a German research and development organization specializing in microsystems technology. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of services ranging from sensor development and integration to production and advanced manufacturing technologies. Their target audience primarily includes B2B partners, research institutions, and industry clients in technology and healthcare sectors. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with detailed service descriptions and active news and event updates. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS and leverages modern web technologies such as Modernizr, Google Analytics, and lazy loading for performance optimization. Hosting is provided by Hetzner, a reputable German hosting provider. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, although accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and implements privacy compliance mechanisms including GDPR-compliant cookie consent. However, it lacks explicit security headers and published security policies or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professionally maintained, and compliant with privacy regulations. The domain registration data aligns well with the business profile, supporting legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and adding a vulnerability disclosure mechanism to further strengthen security posture.

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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

Hahn-Schickard holds a strong position in the microsystems technology research and development market in Germany. Their business model focuses on partnering with clients from concept to production, offering specialized services in sensor technology, electronics, bioanalytics, and manufacturing. The company maintains an active presence in industry events and knowledge dissemination through videos and news updates. Their partnership ecosystem includes related research clusters such as nanodiag BW. The organization targets academic, industrial, and healthcare sectors, indicating diversified revenue streams and growth potential. The website content and structure reflect a mature digital presence supporting their market positioning.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate to good. The website enforces HTTPS with anonymized IP tracking in Google Analytics, indicating privacy awareness. The presence of a cookie consent banner aligns with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security or incident response policies represent gaps. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure information is available, which could hinder responsible vulnerability reporting. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found, but improvements in security transparency and header implementation are recommended to enhance resilience and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve security transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, ensuring maintainability and scalability. The use of modern JavaScript libraries such as Modernizr and lazy loading techniques improves performance and user experience. Hosting on Hetzner provides reliable infrastructure. SEO and mobile optimization are well addressed, although accessibility could be improved. The site loads a moderate number of external scripts, primarily for analytics and media display, which should be monitored for performance impact. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with room for security and accessibility enhancements.
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.
