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

HENSOLDT AG is a leading German technology company specializing in defense and security electronics, with a strong presence across multiple domains including Air, Land, Sea, Space, and Cyber. The company offers manufacture-independent system integration, innovative radar, optronics, and electronic warfare products, as well as comprehensive services and training. Positioned as a European market leader with global reach, HENSOLDT targets government and defense sectors with advanced sensor solutions. The website infrastructure is built on modern technologies such as SvelteKit and hosted on Vercel, ensuring fast performance, mobile optimization, and good accessibility. The site employs HTTPS with strong security headers and integrates analytics and consent management tools, reflecting a mature digital presence. Security posture is strong with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of a public security policy or vulnerability disclosure page and missing WHOIS domain registration data introduce some concerns. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and GDPR adherence. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-maintained, though the domain registration inconsistency warrants further verification. Strategic recommendations include publishing explicit security policies and incident response contacts to enhance transparency and trust.

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. 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"

    • 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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

HENSOLDT operates in the high-tech defense sector, providing multi-domain sensor and electronic warfare solutions. Its business model combines product development, system integration, and lifecycle services, targeting primarily government and military customers. The company demonstrates strong market positioning in Europe with global operations. Revenue and order backlog figures indicate a large enterprise scale. The website supports investor relations and career portals, indicating a mature corporate structure. Partnerships and subsidiary domains are clearly linked, reinforcing ecosystem strength.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a high security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and no detected vulnerabilities or sensitive data leaks. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the lack of a dedicated security policy page, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure reduces transparency. The missing WHOIS data for the domain is unusual and may indicate privacy protection or registration anomalies, which should be investigated to ensure legitimacy.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to align with corporate identity.
  4. Enhance contact information with explicit security and data protection officer contacts.
  5. Maintain and regularly audit security headers and privacy compliance measures.

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.
