KRAUSE-Systems GmbH is a well-established German manufacturer specializing in climbing technology and related occupational safety equipment. The company offers a broad portfolio of products including ladders, steps, scaffolding, and safety gear, complemented by services such as training seminars, product testing, and customer support. Their website reflects a strong market position with comprehensive product information and a professional presentation targeting both industrial professionals and private users. Technically, the website is built on the TYPO3 CMS platform, leveraging modern web technologies including jQuery and privacy-conscious analytics via Matomo. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and includes a robust cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR requirements. Hosting is managed through a reputable provider, and performance is moderate with good SEO and accessibility practices. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and integrates consent management for tracking technologies such as Facebook Pixel and Google Tag Manager. However, explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not published, and some security headers are not explicitly detected. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the provided content. Overall, the website demonstrates a high level of professionalism, trustworthiness, and compliance with privacy regulations. Strategic improvements in security policy transparency and header implementation could further enhance their security posture.

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

5 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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

KRAUSE-Systems operates in the manufacturing sector with a focus on climbing and safety technology. Their business model centers on product manufacturing, sales, and value-added services like training and testing. The company targets industrial clients, tradespeople, and private users, indicating a diverse customer base. The multilingual website and detailed product lines suggest a strong international presence. The use of a professional CMS and comprehensive legal pages reflect a mature digital strategy. No direct revenue data is available, but the extensive product catalog and service offerings imply a large-scale operation. The company maintains a trustworthy brand image with quality certifications and customer support infrastructure.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR. Use of Matomo analytics indicates a preference for privacy-respecting tools. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, and security.txt files suggests room for improvement in transparency and vulnerability management. Security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not explicitly detected, which could be enhanced to mitigate common web threats. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from formalized policies and additional header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Add incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and verify security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Consider creating a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure they remain secure and privacy-compliant.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, indicating a stable and scalable infrastructure. The tech stack includes jQuery and modern analytics tools like Matomo, Facebook Pixel, and Google Tag Manager, supporting both functionality and marketing needs. Hosting via DomainControl suggests professional domain and DNS management. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices, contributing to a positive user experience. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected, but security header implementation could be improved to reduce risk.
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.
