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

Hauer is a German-based company specializing in the supply and distribution of elevator spare parts across Germany and Europe. Their website offers a catalog of over 15,000 parts from more than 50 manufacturers, targeting businesses and individuals in the elevator maintenance and repair sector. The company positions itself as a reliable supplier with fast delivery across multiple European countries. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Avada theme and incorporates SEO best practices via the Yoast SEO plugin. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices, providing a good user experience. However, there is a lack of visible privacy and cookie policies, and no explicit contact information was found in the provided content. Security posture is minimal with no detected security headers or incident response information, indicating room for improvement in compliance and security maturity. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy measures to improve trust and compliance.

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

5 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

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

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

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

    • 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

Hauer operates in the transportation sector, specifically focusing on elevator spare parts distribution. Their business model is e-commerce based, serving a medium-sized market across Germany and neighboring European countries. The company leverages partnerships with over 50 manufacturers to offer a broad product range. The website's SEO and content strategy suggest a focus on B2B and B2C customers requiring quick and reliable parts delivery. There is no evidence of parent or subsidiary companies, and no detailed financial or founding information was found. The absence of explicit trust indicators such as certifications or customer testimonials limits the assessment of competitive advantages. The company appears to maintain a consistent brand presence and targets a niche industrial market.

Security posture

The current security posture of the website is basic. The site uses HTTPS as implied by canonical URLs but no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data. There is no published privacy policy, cookie consent mechanism, or terms of service, which are critical for GDPR compliance and user trust. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available, and no security frameworks are referenced. The lack of contact information for security incidents further reduces readiness. No known vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified from the content. To improve security maturity, the company should implement standard security headers, publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, and establish clear incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate any potential vulnerabilities and improve overall security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Avada theme, which is a modern and widely used framework. SEO is enhanced with the Yoast SEO plugin, and user interaction is supported by Contact Form 7 and video popup plugins. The site loads stylesheets and fonts efficiently, but no analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal user tracking. Mobile optimization is good, and the site uses modern web fonts and responsive design. However, no explicit performance metrics or hosting provider details were found. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from improved security configurations and enhanced privacy features.
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.
