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

8 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. 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

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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 operates in the manufacturing and technology sectors, focusing on weighing systems and related IT solutions. Their business model is B2B, serving industrial clients with both standard and customized products. The presence of an accredited calibration service and a mobile weighing vehicle indicates a comprehensive service offering. Partnerships such as with Hanse Waagen enhance their market reach. The website content and structure suggest a stable and reputable business with a clear market position in northern Germany. Growth potential is supported by IT solution offerings and modernization services. The company maintains active social media channels, supporting customer engagement and brand visibility.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and uses Google Analytics with IP anonymization, indicating attention to privacy. Cookie consent is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and advanced security headers suggests room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The security posture is adequate for a medium-sized business website but could be strengthened by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.
  5. Consider adding data retention policies and more detailed privacy disclosures to further strengthen GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Foundation CSS framework and includes JavaScript libraries for UI and analytics. Performance is moderate with responsive design supporting mobile devices. SEO is supported by Yoast SEO plugin and proper meta tags including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Hosting appears stable with planetary-networks name servers. There is no evidence of technical debt or deprecated technologies. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and security headers. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with room for modernization in security and accessibility.
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.
