Risk levelLow

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

LEDVANCE is a globally recognized company specializing in the development and supply of advanced lighting products and solutions for both professional users and end consumers. The website presents a comprehensive portfolio of lighting products including professional lighting, consumer lighting, renewable energy solutions such as photovoltaics, and smart home lighting. The company positions itself as a leading provider in the general lighting market with a strong focus on innovation and efficiency. The website is well-structured, professionally designed, and targets a German-speaking audience primarily in Germany and neighboring countries. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager and Usercentrics for consent management, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. However, the absence of WHOIS domain registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy or recent changes in domain ownership. Security posture is moderate with cookie consent implemented but lacking visible security headers and explicit privacy policies. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced transparency in domain registration and improved security and privacy disclosures.

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

3 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 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. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

LEDVANCE operates in the energy sector focusing on lighting solutions and renewable energy products. Their business model revolves around manufacturing and distributing lighting products and providing related services such as project support, training, and warranty. The company targets professional lighting users, installers, and end consumers, indicating a B2B and B2C hybrid approach. The website reflects a large enterprise with a broad product range and international presence. The partnership ecosystem includes related domains such as an official shop and a service platform. Growth indicators include a diverse product portfolio and emphasis on sustainability and smart technologies. Strategic observations suggest a strong market position but highlight the need for improved domain registration transparency and enhanced compliance documentation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with the implementation of a cookie consent mechanism and use of reputable analytics tools. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No explicit privacy policy or terms of service were detected in the provided content, which may indicate compliance gaps with GDPR and other regulations. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file suggests limited incident response readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. Recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing comprehensive privacy and security policies, and establishing clear incident response contacts to enhance security culture and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the main navigation.
  2. Implement and configure essential security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to improve security posture.
  3. Verify and update domain WHOIS registration information to ensure transparency and trust.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Provide clear contact information for data protection officer and incident response to enhance compliance and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern web technologies including asynchronous JavaScript loading, Google Tag Manager for analytics, and Usercentrics for GDPR-compliant cookie consent management. The HTML structure is well-organized with accessible navigation and responsive design elements. Performance is moderate with potential for optimization. No CMS or hosting provider information was detected. The site lacks visible security headers and explicit metadata for social media or structured data like JSON-LD. Technical risks include missing security best practices and incomplete compliance documentation, which could impact user trust and regulatory adherence.
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.
