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

Heinzelpaper, operated by Laakirchen Papier AG, is a well-established paper manufacturing company with a history dating back to the late 19th century. As a subsidiary of the Heinzel Group, it focuses on sustainable paper production, renewable energy integration, and wood processing. The company targets business customers in the packaging and paper sectors, emphasizing sustainability and circular economy principles. The website reflects a professional business presence with clear navigation and relevant content, though it lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. Technically, the website uses common web technologies such as nginx, jQuery, Bootstrap, and FontAwesome. However, it suffers from critical security shortcomings, notably the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support, which significantly impacts its security posture. The site lacks modern TLS protocols, HSTS, and other security headers, exposing it to potential risks. Performance is rated slow, and while mobile optimization is good, accessibility and SEO are basic. From a security perspective, the lack of HTTPS is a critical vulnerability that undermines user trust and data protection. No incident response or security policy information is provided, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. Cookie consent and privacy policies are implemented, indicating some compliance with GDPR requirements. Overall, the website presents a moderate risk profile due to its security deficiencies, despite good business credibility and content quality. Strategic improvements in SSL deployment, security headers, and incident response transparency are recommended to enhance 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

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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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 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

Heinzelpaper operates in the manufacturing sector, specializing in sustainable paper products and renewable energy solutions. Its market position is strong as part of the Heinzel Group, which has multiple subsidiaries across Europe. The business model focuses on manufacturing and distributing packaging and kraft papers, with a commitment to sustainability and circular economy. The company targets B2B customers in packaging, paper production, and energy sectors. Growth is supported by key projects such as the transformation of production sites towards renewable energy and sustainable packaging. The partnership ecosystem includes related subsidiaries and strategic partners like papierzukunft.at. The website content and linked domains reflect a cohesive corporate structure and clear market positioning.

Security posture

The website's security maturity is low due to the absence of HTTPS and valid SSL certificates, which is a critical issue. No modern TLS protocols are enabled, and important security headers such as HSTS are missing. The session cookie is set with secure and HttpOnly flags, which is a positive practice. No known vulnerabilities like Heartbleed or POODLE are detected, but the lack of encryption exposes users to interception risks. There is no visible incident response or security policy information, and no vulnerability disclosure mechanism is provided. GDPR compliance is partially addressed through cookie consent and privacy policy, but overall security posture requires significant improvement to meet modern standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a valid SSL/TLS certificate and enforce HTTPS site-wide immediately.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable insecure protocols.
  3. Configure HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload options.
  4. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  6. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  7. Improve website performance by optimizing resources and enabling caching where appropriate.
  8. Enhance SEO and accessibility features to improve user experience and search engine rankings.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on an nginx server with IP 92.204.239.114 and DNS managed by a1.net. It uses a standard web technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, FontAwesome, and plugins like Fancybox and particles.js. The site lacks a CMS identification but appears custom-built or lightly CMS-driven. Performance metrics are missing or zero, indicating possible measurement issues or slow loading. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design elements present. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph image but lacks structured data like JSON-LD. Security configurations are weak, with no SSL certificate and no TLS protocols enabled, which is a major technical risk. The site uses cookies with consent mechanisms but could improve cookie management transparency.
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.
