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

Meinhart Kabel Österreich GmbH is a well-established European leader in cable distribution and logistics, specializing in energy and data cables. With over 40 years of experience, the company serves a broad industrial clientele across multiple sectors including energy, automotive, and construction. The website is professionally designed using TYPO3 CMS and incorporates modern technologies such as Bootstrap and Usercentrics for consent management. Google Analytics 4 is used for user tracking with moderate privacy compliance. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and basic security headers present, though additional headers and explicit security policies could enhance protection.

Overall, the website is high quality, user-friendly, and business credible.

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.

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 operates a B2B business model focused on cable distribution and logistics, offering over 6,000 cable types and specialized services such as drum return logistics. It maintains multiple European subsidiaries, indicating a strong regional footprint. The website content and structure reflect a mature business with clear market positioning as an industry leader. Partnerships with service providers like chiliSCHARF GmbH for website development and use of consent management tools demonstrate digital maturity. The company targets industrial clients requiring reliable cable supply and logistics solutions, leveraging its large inventory and logistics capabilities as competitive advantages.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a consent management platform to comply with GDPR. Security headers are minimal but present. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure reduces transparency. The absence of a security.txt file or similar documentation suggests room for improvement in incident readiness and communication. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced with additional headers and explicit security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page clearly accessible from the homepage.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Provide explicit incident response contact information for security issues.
  5. Regularly review and update consent management and tracking practices to maintain GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, combined with Bootstrap for responsive design. It uses Usercentrics for GDPR-compliant cookie consent and Google Analytics 4 for analytics. The site is mobile optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with video content and image galleries that may impact load times but enhance user engagement. The technical stack is modern and well maintained, though hosting provider details are not disclosed. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and formalize security policies to reduce technical risk.
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.
