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. 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

  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.

    • 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

  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
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

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

LUKAS Hydraulik GmbH holds a strong market position in manufacturing hydraulic rescue and industrial tools, leveraging its 75 years of experience and global dealer network. The business model focuses on product innovation, quality manufacturing in Germany, and extensive partner support. The company benefits from its parent company IDEX Corporation, enhancing its global reach and resources. The website highlights current job openings, service offerings, and product developments, indicating active growth and engagement with customers and partners. Strategic partnerships with companies like Akron Brass and Vetter further strengthen its ecosystem. The company targets industrial sectors and emergency services, positioning itself as a trusted supplier of critical rescue equipment.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, CSRF token usage, and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of DNSSEC and some recommended security headers (e.g., Content Security Policy, HSTS) suggests room for improvement. No explicit security policy or incident response contact information is published, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness. The use of Matomo analytics with disabled cookies indicates privacy-conscious tracking. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from additional hardening and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and CMS components to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS using the Helix Ultimate framework, incorporating jQuery, Bootstrap, Font Awesome, Owl Carousel, and Magnific Popup for UI components. Matomo is used for privacy-focused analytics. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with some potential for optimization. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. The site uses AJAX with CSRF tokens, indicating secure form handling. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were observed. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and DNS configuration.
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.
