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

HellermannTyton is a well-established manufacturer and provider of cable management and connectivity products, serving industrial sectors such as manufacturing, energy, and transportation. The website presents comprehensive product information, industry solutions, and sustainability initiatives, targeting professional and industrial customers primarily in Austria and surrounding regions. The company maintains a strong brand presence with consistent design and multiple social media channels. Technically, the website uses a modern tech stack including Apache, jQuery, Google Tag Manager, and Usercentrics for consent management, hosted behind Cloudflare DNS services. However, the SSL/TLS configuration is outdated, supporting only TLS 1.1 without TLS 1.2 or 1.3, which is a security concern. Security headers are well implemented, including a strict Content Security Policy and HSTS header, though HSTS is not fully enabled in SSL configuration. Privacy compliance is strong with clear privacy and cookie policies and active consent mechanisms. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant, but would benefit from modernizing its TLS support and enhancing SSL configurations.

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

    • 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. 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"

  3. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

HellermannTyton operates in the manufacturing sector with a focus on cable management solutions, serving diverse industries including energy and transportation. The company leverages a global network with regional sites and offers a broad product portfolio including cable ties, shrink tubing, cable protection, and connectivity products. Their business model centers on product innovation, sustainability, and customer-centric solutions. The website reflects a mature digital presence with multilingual support and extensive content targeting industrial clients. Partnerships and related domains indicate a well-integrated corporate structure. The company’s market position is strong, supported by trust signals such as privacy compliance and social media engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and several security headers in place, including a robust Content Security Policy with nonce and strict dynamic directives. Cookies are set with Secure and HttpOnly flags. However, the SSL/TLS configuration is outdated, supporting only TLS 1.1 and lacking TLS 1.2 and 1.3 support, which exposes the site to potential security risks. OCSP stapling is disabled, and HSTS is not fully enabled in SSL configuration, reducing protection against certain attacks. No known vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade SSL/TLS configuration to support TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 and disable TLS 1.1 to improve security.
  2. Enable OCSP stapling to enhance certificate revocation checking performance and security.
  3. Fully enable HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload directives to strengthen HTTPS enforcement.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly review and update cipher suites to ensure only strong ciphers are supported.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Apache 2.4.63 on Ubuntu, with DNS managed by Cloudflare. The tech stack includes jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Usercentrics for consent management, and FontAwesome for icons. The site uses a Content Security Policy with nonce values and strict dynamic directives, enhancing script security. Performance metrics indicate zero load time and resource count, likely due to incomplete measurement or caching. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO. However, the SSL/TLS setup is outdated, lacking modern protocol support and OCSP stapling. The site uses multiple external domains for fonts, analytics, and social media integrations. Overall, the infrastructure is solid but requires modernization of security protocols and performance monitoring.
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.
