31/100

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

Die Käsemacher GmbH is a small Austrian specialty food manufacturer focused on producing high-quality cheese and antipasti products using traditional methods and sustainable milk production. The company operates a well-structured website with a comprehensive product catalog and an online shop subdomain, targeting both end consumers and B2B partners. Technically, the website is built on the concrete5 CMS platform and uses modern JavaScript libraries to enhance user experience and mobile responsiveness. However, the absence of HTTPS is a critical security flaw that significantly impacts the site's security posture. While cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policy references exist, formal security policies and incident response contacts are not found. Overall, the site demonstrates good business credibility and content quality but requires urgent security improvements to protect user data and build trust.

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

6 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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 leader in specialty cheese and antipasti products with a focus on quality and tradition. Its business model includes manufacturing, retail, and B2B sales, supported by an online presence and active social media channels. The product range is diverse, appealing to health-conscious and gourmet consumers. The website's clear navigation and branding consistency support customer engagement. The lack of detailed compliance and security policies suggests room for maturity in governance and risk management. Partnerships or subsidiaries appear limited to the online shop domain, indicating a focused but small-scale operation.

Security posture

The website currently lacks HTTPS, exposing visitors to potential data interception and undermining trust. Security headers are minimal, with only cache-control and X-Frame-Options present. No advanced security practices such as HSTS, CSP, or OCSP stapling are implemented. The cookie consent banner indicates some privacy awareness, but no formal incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are available. The overall security maturity is low, posing risks to data protection and compliance with regulations like GDPR and NIS2. Immediate implementation of SSL/TLS and enhanced security headers is recommended to mitigate these risks.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a valid SSL/TLS certificate and serve the website exclusively over HTTPS.
  2. Add and configure security headers including HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish clear security policies and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and update CMS and third-party libraries to latest versions.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by providing a dedicated privacy policy page and detailed cookie management options.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses concrete5 CMS version 8.5.18 with common frontend libraries such as jQuery, ScrollReveal, Typed.js, and Slick Carousel, indicating a moderately modern tech stack. Hosting is managed by internex.at as inferred from DNS NS records. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses SEO best practices including meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance metrics are unavailable, but the presence of lazy loading and asynchronous scripts suggests some optimization. The lack of HTTPS and modern security protocols is a significant technical debt. Overall, the infrastructure supports the business needs but requires modernization in security and performance monitoring.
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.
