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

Franz Kaldewei GmbH & Co. KG operates the website www.kaldewei.de, positioning itself as a global partner in high-quality bathroom solutions specializing in steel enamel products such as shower surfaces, washbasins, and bathtubs. The website is professionally designed using TYPO3 CMS, featuring multi-language support and structured navigation aimed at a broad audience including professionals and consumers. The business model focuses on manufacturing and direct sales within the bathroom fixtures industry, with a strong presence in Germany and international markets. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including TYPO3 CMS, jQuery, Google reCAPTCHA for form security, and Usercentrics for cookie consent management, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO practices are well implemented with proper meta tags and structured data. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses reCAPTCHA to mitigate spam, and integrates a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR principles. However, explicit security headers are not detected, and there is no published security policy or vulnerability disclosure program, which are areas for improvement. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with a high degree of business credibility and trustworthiness. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing formal security and incident response policies, and providing clearer contact information to strengthen compliance and user 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.

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

Kaldewei is a well-established manufacturer in the bathroom solutions sector, leveraging steel enamel technology to differentiate its product offerings. The company targets a broad market including end consumers, professionals, and planners, supported by digital tools such as a 3D online bathroom planner. The website's multi-language capabilities and global domain variants indicate a strong international market presence. The business model is primarily manufacturing with direct and partner sales channels. The company demonstrates a consistent brand image and invests in digital marketing and analytics, as evidenced by Google Tag Manager and Usercentrics integration. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the provided data, but the domain and WHOIS data confirm a legitimate and consistent registration aligned with the company's German roots.

Security posture

The website maintains a solid security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and the use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from automated abuse. Cookie consent is managed via a reputable CMP (Usercentrics), supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a missed opportunity to harden the site against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or security incident response information is publicly available, which could hinder timely reporting and remediation of security issues. No signs of malware, phishing, or exposed credentials were detected. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved with formal policies and enhanced HTTP header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve defense-in-depth.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to facilitate responsible vulnerability reporting and enhance transparency.
  3. Develop and publish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage coordinated vulnerability handling.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Expand contact information to include verified company emails and phone numbers to improve user trust and support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used open-source content management system, indicating a stable and scalable platform. The use of jQuery and asynchronous JavaScript loading optimizes user experience and performance. Integration with Google Tag Manager and Usercentrics shows a modern approach to analytics and privacy compliance. The site uses CDN-hosted assets for images, stylesheets, and scripts, which likely improves load times globally. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive images and layout adjustments. However, the lack of detected advanced performance optimizations such as HTTP/2 or explicit caching headers in the provided data suggests room for improvement. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with moderate performance and good maintainability.
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.
