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

    • 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

  2. 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';…

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

KÜS operates as a full-service vehicle safety organization with a diversified portfolio of subsidiaries addressing different aspects of vehicle inspection, technical approval, automotive expertise, and training. Their business model focuses on providing comprehensive safety and service solutions to vehicle owners and industry stakeholders. The presence of multiple dedicated domains for subsidiaries indicates a structured and scalable business ecosystem. The company targets both end consumers and professional partners, leveraging expertise and regulatory recognition. The website's content and linked domains suggest a mature organization with established partnerships and a clear growth strategy in the German transportation safety market.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration and uses a cookie consent plugin to comply with privacy regulations. However, no explicit security headers were detected in the HTML content, and there is no publicly available security policy or incident response information. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the content. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file indicates an area for improvement. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by implementing additional HTTP security headers and publishing clear security policies and contact channels for incident reporting.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users, including those with disabilities.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building, jQuery for scripting, and Font Awesome for icons. The presence of Borlabs Cookie plugin indicates compliance with cookie consent requirements. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices with proper meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement by optimizing scripts and assets. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified in the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional web presence aligned with the business needs.
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.
