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

HAKOM Time Series GmbH is a medium-sized Austrian company specializing in time series management software and cloud services for the energy sector. The company positions itself as a technology leader with over 30 years of experience, offering both on-premises and cloud-based solutions under the PowerTSM® brand. Their website reflects a professional and comprehensive digital presence, targeting energy industry professionals and IT developers with detailed product information, news, webinars, and customer success stories. The company maintains active engagement through social media and newsletter subscriptions. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS and uses modern web technologies including jQuery and Swiper.js for interactive content. The hosting provider is identified as Web-Crossing. While the site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper metadata and structured data, performance metrics are not explicitly available. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a cookie consent mechanism and a comprehensive privacy policy in German. From a security perspective, the site lacks a valid SSL/TLS certificate and does not support modern TLS protocols, which is a critical vulnerability impacting user trust and data security. Security headers such as HSTS and CSP are present but cannot compensate for the missing HTTPS encryption. No explicit security policy or incident response information is found, which could be improved to enhance transparency and trust. Overall, the website is professional and content-rich but requires urgent improvements in SSL/TLS configuration to meet modern security standards and protect user data effectively. Strategic recommendations include obtaining a valid SSL certificate, enabling TLS 1.2/1.3, and enhancing security policies and incident response disclosures.

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

7 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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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

HAKOM Time Series GmbH operates in the niche market of time series data management for the energy industry, leveraging proprietary technology (PowerTSM®) to provide scalable and shareable solutions. Their business model includes software licensing, cloud services, and professional support. The company demonstrates strong market positioning as a technology leader with a long history since 1991. Their partnership with powertsm.com indicates a cloud service extension of their offerings. The website content and news updates suggest active product development and customer engagement. The target customers are energy companies, utilities, and IT professionals requiring advanced time series analytics. The company’s digital presence and content strategy support lead generation and brand authority in their sector.

Security posture

The current security posture is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL/TLS certificate and lack of support for modern TLS protocols, exposing users to potential data interception risks. The presence of security headers like HSTS and CSP is positive but insufficient without HTTPS. No vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed or POODLE are detected, but the lack of encryption is a critical flaw. The website does not disclose any security policies or incident response contacts, which limits transparency and preparedness. The cookie consent mechanism and privacy policy indicate awareness of privacy regulations, but security best practices need urgent enhancement to protect business and user data.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire website.
  2. Enable and enforce modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable deprecated versions.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve security and performance.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency.
  5. Regularly audit and update server configurations and libraries to maintain security hygiene.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS, a mature and extensible content management system, supported by Apache HTTP Server. Frontend technologies include jQuery and Swiper.js for interactive sliders and responsive navigation. Google Analytics is used for traffic analysis, and YouTube embeds provide multimedia content. Hosting is managed by Web-Crossing, with DNS records consistent with the domain. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured data. However, the lack of SSL/TLS and modern encryption protocols is a significant technical debt. Performance data is missing, but the use of lazy loading and CDN preconnect hints at optimization efforts. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but requires urgent security upgrades.
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.
