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

Hülskens GmbH & Co. KG is a well-established German company specializing in the extraction and supply of mineral raw materials such as sand and gravel, primarily serving the construction and infrastructure sectors. With over 100 years of experience and multiple regional subsidiaries, the company emphasizes sustainable land use and ecological projects alongside its core business. The website reflects a professional and regionally focused business model with clear communication of services and corporate values. Technically, the website is built on the Contao CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies including Bootstrap and jQuery. It is hosted on agenturserver infrastructure, with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The site employs HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, demonstrating compliance with GDPR requirements. However, some security headers are missing, and no explicit security or incident response policies are published. From a security perspective, the site shows a solid posture with no detected vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The absence of analytics scripts suggests a privacy-conscious approach. WHOIS data aligns well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professional, and compliant, with room for improvement in security policy transparency and header implementation. The risk level is low, with no critical issues detected. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and maintaining regular audits of third-party scripts to sustain and improve security and compliance posture.

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

7 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • 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
  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"

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Hülskens operates in the manufacturing and real estate sectors, focusing on mineral resource extraction and sustainable land development. Its competitive advantage lies in its long-standing regional presence, diversified subsidiaries, and commitment to ecological and social responsibility. The business model integrates raw material supply with environmental stewardship and community engagement. Revenue streams likely include raw material sales, land reclamation projects, and industrial services. The target customers are primarily construction companies, infrastructure developers, and regional authorities. Growth indicators include ongoing sustainable projects and active recruitment. The partnership ecosystem includes several subsidiaries and related companies, enhancing market reach and operational capacity.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent, and no visible vulnerabilities or sensitive data leaks. However, the lack of security headers such as Content Security Policy and HSTS reduces the overall security hardening. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which could impact transparency and readiness perception. The absence of analytics reduces privacy risks but also limits behavioral insights. Overall, the security culture appears cautious but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Maintain transparency on data retention and privacy practices to strengthen GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and stable technology stack centered on Contao CMS, Bootstrap, and jQuery libraries. It is hosted on agenturserver infrastructure with multiple name servers, indicating reliable hosting. Performance is moderate with responsive design and mobile optimization. The site includes interactive elements such as sliders and accordions implemented with jQuery UI and Swipe.js. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security headers and accessibility could enhance robustness and compliance.
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.
