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

Berthold Becker GmbH is a well-established German engineering and civil construction firm specializing in sustainable infrastructure solutions such as water supply, wastewater management, road and traffic infrastructure, flood protection, and BIM management. The company operates primarily in Rheinland-Pfalz and Nordrhein-Westfalen and has a strong regional presence with over 50 years of experience. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting municipalities, public sector planners, and construction professionals. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern themes and plugins, including Borlabs Cookie for consent management, and is hosted under the IONOS SE registrar. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and clientTransferProhibited domain status, though DNSSEC is not enabled and some security headers are missing.

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. 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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention ib-becker.com, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for ib-becker.com right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

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 regional expert in infrastructure engineering, combining traditional civil engineering with innovative techniques like BIM. Their business model includes professional engineering services and an educational infrastructure academy to foster community and knowledge sharing. The target customers are primarily public sector entities and infrastructure stakeholders. The website's content and structured data support the company's credibility and market presence. Partnerships such as the infrastructure academy indicate a strategic approach to growth and community engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protection. The use of Borlabs Cookie indicates attention to privacy and consent management. However, the lack of DNSSEC, missing Content-Security-Policy, and absence of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure reduce the overall security maturity. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Incident response information is not publicly available, which could be improved to enhance trust and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security.
  2. Implement a Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate cross-site scripting risks.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and transparency.
  4. Create and publish a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Add additional security headers such as X-Content-Type-Options and X-Frame-Options explicitly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Astra theme and several plugins including Borlabs Cookie and Ninja Forms. It uses jQuery and FontAwesome for UI elements. The site is mobile optimized and has good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate with some preloading of fonts and images. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The hosting and domain registration are managed by IONOS SE, a reputable provider. No critical technical issues or broken elements were detected.
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.
