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. 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

    • 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. 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';…
  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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention maschinenringe.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for maschinenringe.de right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The company leverages a membership cooperative model to provide tailored services to the agricultural community, enhancing efficiency and sustainability. Its diversified offerings include energy solutions, digital tools, and education, positioning it as a comprehensive service provider in the agricultural domain. The presence of multiple partner domains for career, shop, portal, and academy indicates a well-integrated ecosystem. The business targets a large audience within Germany, focusing on farmers and agricultural enterprises, with a strong emphasis on community and future-oriented solutions.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and uses a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations. Security headers are implied but not explicitly confirmed in the HTML. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security management. The site follows best practices for secure forms and data handling as observed from the content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with explicit policies and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
  2. Add incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publicly expose a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file.
  4. Verify and explicitly configure security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Continue to maintain GDPR compliance and enhance transparency around data retention policies.

Notes

The website is built using Gatsby 5.15.0, a modern React-based static site generator, ensuring fast loading and good SEO. It uses Font Awesome 6 for icons and Imgix for image optimization and delivery. Cookie consent is managed via Consentmanager.net scripts. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit but the infrastructure appears robust. Performance is fast with modern web standards applied. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and incident response readiness.
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.
