Security score

50/100

Risk levelMedium

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

HWW GmbH & Co. Holzwerke KG operates as a wood manufacturing company based in Germany, providing wood products primarily for business clients in manufacturing and construction sectors. The website serves as a corporate presence, built on WordPress with a moderate level of technical sophistication including the use of Usercentrics for cookie consent management. The site demonstrates good design quality and user experience, with mobile optimization and clear navigation. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented, but lacks published security policies and security headers. Privacy compliance is partial due to the absence of a visible privacy policy and terms of service. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the business claims, indicating legitimacy and consistency. The website is safe for general audiences with no adult or questionable content detected.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  3. 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

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 positions itself as a regional manufacturer in the wood products industry, targeting B2B customers in construction and manufacturing. The business model focuses on manufacturing and supplying wood products, with a medium-sized company profile. The website content is professional and consistent with the industry, though it lacks some trust signals such as certifications or testimonials. The digital presence is basic but functional, with no evident partnerships or subsidiaries linked from the site. Growth indicators and revenue streams are not disclosed on the website.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism via Usercentrics, indicating awareness of privacy and security requirements. However, the absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or security policy information is published, which limits transparency and readiness perception. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The site would benefit from enhanced security practices and published policies to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve privacy compliance.
  2. Implement and publish a security policy outlining security practices and incident response.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Include clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers for customer and security inquiries.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and update WordPress and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress, utilizing jQuery and FontAwesome for UI elements. It integrates Usercentrics CMP for cookie consent management, reflecting compliance efforts. The site loads moderate external resources, with CSS and JS assets hosted on the same domain. Performance is moderate, with no explicit performance optimization indicators found. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO basics are present but could be improved with richer metadata and structured data. Accessibility features are basic, with scope for enhancement. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found in the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard for a medium-sized corporate website.
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.
