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.
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.

Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

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.

Business context
Business profile
IBF Solutions holds a strong niche position in the CE marking and product safety market, offering integrated software and training solutions. Their business model focuses on software licensing combined with educational seminars and consulting, targeting manufacturers needing to comply with EU machinery directives and standards. The presence of major industry clients and detailed seminar offerings indicates a well-established customer base and expertise. The company leverages partnerships and conferences to enhance market reach. Their digital presence is consistent and supports lead generation through contact forms and newsletter subscriptions. Growth potential lies in expanding software adoption and training services across the DACH region and beyond.
Security posture
The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration and domain transfer protection, indicating a secure baseline. Cookie consent is implemented via a reputable third-party service, enhancing GDPR compliance. However, the absence of DNSSEC and some recommended security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options suggests room for improvement. No incident response or security policy information is published, which could be a gap in transparency. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and publishing security-related policies.
Recommendations
Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
Implement and enforce Content-Security-Policy and other security headers to mitigate XSS and content injection risks.
Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging Bootstrap and jQuery for responsive design and interactivity. It uses Matomo for analytics and Cookiefirst for consent management, indicating a focus on privacy compliance. Hosting appears to be on AWS infrastructure, supported by AWS DNS servers. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and SEO, with proper meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with preloading of fonts and images to improve load times. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with more ARIA attributes and semantic HTML. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting the business goals effectively.
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.
