KOHLBACH · Energy · Austria

High risk. 10 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view, SSL/TLS and 1 other check.

Security score

40/100

Risk levelHigh

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

KOHLBACH is a company specializing in biomass energy solutions, targeting businesses and organizations interested in sustainable energy production. The website presents a basic digital presence with minimal content and limited business information. The technical infrastructure uses modern JavaScript frameworks such as React and integrates third-party services like CookiePro for cookie consent and Google Tag Manager for analytics. However, the website lacks HTTPS, which is a critical security deficiency, and does not provide privacy policies or contact information, limiting trust and compliance. Security posture is weak due to missing SSL, lack of security headers beyond Content-Security-Policy, and absence of domain security features like DMARC and DNSSEC. Overall, the site is functional but requires significant improvements in security and compliance to meet industry standards.

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

10 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

  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

  3. 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"

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

KOHLBACH operates in the energy sector with a focus on biomass solutions, positioning itself as a specialized provider in Austria. The business model appears B2B, offering technology and services related to biomass energy. The website's limited content and lack of detailed business information suggest a small-sized company with moderate branding consistency. There are no visible partnerships or subsidiaries linked from the site. The use of cookie consent and analytics tools indicates some awareness of digital marketing and compliance, but the absence of privacy and security policies may hinder customer trust and regulatory adherence.

Security posture

The website's security posture is currently poor, primarily due to the absence of HTTPS and a valid SSL certificate, exposing users to potential interception risks. While a Content-Security-Policy header is present, other important security headers are missing. The domain lacks DMARC, DNSSEC, and CAA records, which are important for email and domain security. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, indicating a lack of formal security governance. The use of third-party scripts like CookiePro and Google Tag Manager introduces moderate tracking but no evident vulnerabilities. Immediate remediation of SSL and enhancement of security headers is recommended to improve the security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Add clear contact information including email and phone numbers to improve business credibility.
  4. Enhance security headers by adding X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  5. Configure domain security features such as DMARC, DNSSEC, and CAA records to protect against spoofing and phishing.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is served by an nginx server and uses modern JavaScript frameworks, likely React, as indicated by script names and root div structure. CookiePro is used for cookie consent management, and Google Tag Manager is implemented for analytics. However, the site lacks HTTPS support and does not enable any TLS protocols, which is a critical technical deficiency. Performance data is missing, but the absence of resource counts and page size suggests minimal content. The site includes a Content-Security-Policy header restricting sources to self and trusted domains, which is a positive security measure. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic, with no advanced features detected. Overall, the technical implementation is functional but requires modernization and security hardening.
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.
