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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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.

    • 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

The company holds a strong market position as a major wood wholesaler in southern Germany, serving diverse customer segments including craftsmen, industry, architects, and mobile generalists. Their business model focuses on large-scale warehousing, direct delivery with their own fleet, and personalized customer service. The presence of certifications like PEFC, FSC, and ISO standards enhances their competitive advantage. The website's detailed product categorization and online configurators indicate a customer-centric approach and digital maturity. Growth indicators include investments in sustainability such as photovoltaic installations. The partnership ecosystem includes recognized manufacturers and suppliers, supporting a broad product portfolio and reliable supply chain.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Use of nonce attributes in scripts and secure cookie consent mechanisms indicate attention to security best practices. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which could be a gap in transparency. No vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the site is secure for users and business operations but could benefit from enhanced header policies and published security guidelines.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Regularly audit and update all plugins and WordPress core to minimize vulnerability risks.
  4. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Enhance monitoring and logging of security events to proactively detect and respond to threats.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform, leveraging popular plugins such as Yoast SEO for search optimization and Contact Form 7 for user interactions. The integration of Matomo analytics reflects a privacy-conscious approach to user data collection. The site uses jQuery and custom scripts for interactive elements like sliders and forms. Performance is moderate with some room for optimization, but mobile responsiveness and accessibility are well addressed. The use of JSON-LD structured data and Open Graph tags improves SEO and social media integration. Hosting details are not explicitly identified, but the domain uses multiple name servers indicating a stable DNS setup. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly web presence.
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.
