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

HAUSER GmbH is a well-established European provider specializing in refrigeration furniture and cooling technology, serving international clients primarily in the food retail and industrial sectors. The company offers comprehensive solutions including innovative, energy-efficient cooling systems, project management, and lifecycle services. With approximately 75 years of experience, HAUSER holds a strong market position as a trusted B2B Komplettanbieter in Austria and Europe. The website is professionally designed, content-rich, and targets business customers seeking high-quality refrigeration solutions. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 10 and employs modern web technologies including Matomo for analytics and TRUENDO for privacy management. However, the site lacks a valid SSL certificate and does not support HTTPS, which is a significant security and trust concern. Performance data is missing, and DNS records are incomplete, suggesting possible use of CDN or proxy services. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible with good SEO practices. From a security perspective, while several security headers are implemented, the absence of HTTPS and TLS protocols severely undermines the security posture. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are provided, and no vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are found. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. Overall, HAUSER GmbH presents a credible and professional business online presence but must urgently address SSL/TLS implementation to improve security and trust. Strategic recommendations include securing the website with valid certificates, enabling modern TLS protocols, and enhancing security transparency to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

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

      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

    • 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

  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. 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

HAUSER GmbH operates in the energy and manufacturing sectors, focusing on refrigeration and cooling solutions for commercial and industrial clients. Its business model centers on providing end-to-end solutions including products, project management, and after-sales service. The company leverages a strong partnership network and has received industry recognition such as the Staatspreis 2024. The target market includes food retailers and industrial customers across Europe. The website reflects a medium-sized enterprise with consistent branding and a professional digital footprint. Growth indicators include active news updates and a diverse product portfolio. Partnerships with companies like celsio.ch and magnum7.bg enhance its ecosystem and market reach.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is low due to the lack of HTTPS and valid SSL certificates, exposing users to potential interception and trust issues. Security headers such as HSTS, CSP, and X-Frame-Options are present but ineffective without TLS. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available, indicating gaps in security governance. Privacy compliance is strong with GDPR-aligned policies and consent mechanisms. The absence of OCSP stapling and session resumption further weakens security. Immediate remediation is required to secure communications and improve overall security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable and configure modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and strong cipher suites.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to enhance security and performance.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern Drupal 10 CMS platform with Apache server technology. It uses Matomo analytics for privacy-focused tracking and integrates TRUENDO Privacy Center for cookie consent management. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible with good SEO metadata. However, the absence of DNS A/AAAA records suggests reliance on external infrastructure or CDN, which is not fully disclosed. Performance metrics are missing, indicating a need for monitoring and optimization. The lack of HTTPS and TLS support is a critical technical risk that must be addressed to protect user data and maintain trust.
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.
