HessenChemie is a regional industry association serving the chemical, pharmaceutical, and plastics processing sectors in Hessen, Germany. The organization provides a range of services including industry representation, publications, training, and events targeted at member companies and stakeholders. The website reflects a professional and well-structured digital presence, leveraging TYPO3 CMS and modern frontend technologies to deliver content effectively. The target audience includes industry professionals, trainees, and member companies within Hessen's chemical industry. The business model centers on membership services and industry advocacy. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS with Bootstrap and jQuery, and uses Matomo for privacy-conscious analytics. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly. Hosting appears to be managed by a professional provider with consistent DNS records. Cookie consent mechanisms are implemented with opt-in features, supporting GDPR compliance. The login form includes security measures such as CSRF tokens. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and secure forms but lacks explicit published security policies or incident response contacts. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The site could improve by adding security headers and a vulnerability disclosure policy. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced with formal documentation and transparency. The website is trustworthy, with clear contact options, active social media presence, and consistent branding. No adult or questionable content is present. The domain registration data aligns with the business claims, supporting legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include publishing security policies, adding incident response contacts, and enhancing security headers to strengthen trust and compliance.
Scanned
NIS2 Art. 21(2)
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.
4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.
EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements
What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures
GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage
What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes
TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.
Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1
What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions
Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.
Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer
What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.
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
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.
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.
Risk levels
Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.
Leaked records that mention hessenchemie.de, from OffSeq Breach.
No leaked records found
Breach holds no records for hessenchemie.de right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.
Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.
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.
