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

LIBREC AG is a Swiss-based company specializing in lithium-ion battery recycling, positioning itself as Europe's leading partner in this sector. The company offers high recovery rates, closed-loop recycling, and flexible business models including material purchasing and toll processing. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image targeting businesses involved in battery recycling and materials recovery. The site is multilingual and provides clear contact information and social media presence, enhancing trust and accessibility. Technically, the website is built on Django CMS with modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Selectize.js, and custom Soulclick UI components. Hosting appears to be on Exoscale, a reputable cloud provider. The site is mobile-optimized with moderate performance and basic accessibility features. SEO is basic but present with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling including CSRF tokens. However, explicit security headers are not visible in the provided data, and no incident response or security policy information is published. Privacy compliance is good with a clear privacy and cookie policy and consent mechanism. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files are found. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional with a solid business focus. Recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing incident response and security policies, and improving accessibility and SEO for better compliance and user experience.

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

4 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

LIBREC AG holds a strong market position in the European lithium-ion battery recycling industry, leveraging high recovery rates and sustainable closed-loop processes. Their business model includes both material purchasing and toll processing, catering to a broad range of industrial clients. The company targets environmentally conscious businesses and partners in the energy and recycling sectors. The multilingual website and professional content indicate a medium-sized enterprise with growth potential. The presence of a partner portal suggests a developed partnership ecosystem. No direct revenue streams or financial data are disclosed, but the capacity and technology focus imply a significant operational scale.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and secure form practices. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The lack of published incident response contacts or security policies indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. GDPR compliance is supported by a privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from enhanced headers, documented policies, and regular security audits.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish an incident response policy and provide dedicated security contact channels.
  3. Conduct regular vulnerability assessments of third-party libraries and CMS components.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader compliance.
  5. Improve SEO with structured data and richer metadata to increase visibility and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Django CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Selectize.js, and custom UI components from Soulclick. Hosting assets are served via Exoscale CDN, indicating a cloud-based infrastructure. The site is mobile responsive with a moderate performance profile. The use of CSRF tokens in forms indicates attention to secure data handling. However, the absence of advanced SEO structured data (e.g., JSON-LD) and limited accessibility features suggest areas for technical enhancement. The site does not appear to use heavy analytics or tracking scripts, which benefits privacy but limits marketing insights.
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.
