MH|Direkt is a mature and established e-commerce fulfillment service provider based in Austria with over 28 years of experience. The company operates multiple fulfillment centers across Austria, Germany, and the UK, offering comprehensive services including warehousing, packaging, cross-border shipping, personalization, and API integration. Their business model focuses on supporting online shops to efficiently manage logistics and shipping across Europe, including direct market entry into Switzerland. The website reflects a professional and well-branded digital presence with extensive content and customer testimonials, positioning MH|Direkt as a reliable partner in the e-commerce logistics sector. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using popular plugins and frameworks such as Elementor, Gravity Forms, and WP Rocket. It integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools including Google Analytics, Google Ads, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag, indicating a mature digital marketing strategy. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, though performance is moderate and accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the website lacks a valid SSL certificate, which is a critical issue impacting user trust and data security. Other security best practices such as HSTS, DNSSEC, and domain protection locks are not implemented, reducing the overall security posture. No explicit security or incident response policies are published on the site. Privacy and cookie policies are present and appear GDPR compliant, with consent mechanisms in place. Overall, MH|Direkt presents a credible and professional business with strong market positioning in e-commerce fulfillment. However, the lack of HTTPS and some security best practices pose risks that should be addressed promptly to enhance trust and compliance. Strategic recommendations include immediate SSL certificate installation, enabling HSTS and DNSSEC, and publishing security policies to improve transparency and security culture.

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

8 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

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

MH|Direkt operates in the e-commerce fulfillment sector, targeting online retailers seeking logistics support across Europe. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing experience, multiple fulfillment centers, and value-added services like product personalization and direct market entry into Switzerland. The company leverages a B2B and B2C fulfillment model, integrating with customers' online shops via APIs and providing real-time dashboards. Their marketing ecosystem includes partnerships with notable brands such as Waterdrop, Nuffinz, and Sportnahrung, enhancing their market credibility. The business model is service-oriented with revenue streams from fulfillment, shipping, personalization, and IT integration services. Growth indicators include expansion into the UK market post-Brexit and continuous technology adoption. MH|Direkt maintains a professional online presence with clear service offerings and customer testimonials, supporting sustained market relevance.

Security posture

The current security maturity level of MH|Direkt's website is low due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate, which is a critical vulnerability exposing users to data interception risks. Additional security gaps include missing HSTS headers, lack of DNSSEC, no OCSP stapling, and no session resumption mechanisms, which collectively weaken the site's defense against common web threats. The absence of domain protection locks increases the risk of unauthorized domain transfers. No published security or incident response policies reduce transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Despite these issues, no known vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed, POODLE, or FREAK were detected. The site uses secure and updated JavaScript libraries and frameworks, but the lack of HTTPS significantly undermines overall security. Compliance with GDPR is supported by privacy and cookie policies, but security compliance gaps remain critical.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  3. Implement DNSSEC to protect DNS integrity and prevent spoofing.
  4. Enable OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve SSL performance and security.
  5. Activate domain protection locks to prevent unauthorized domain transfers.
  6. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  7. Regularly audit and update all third-party libraries and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  8. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  9. Maintain transparency on data retention policies related to analytics and user data.
  10. Consider adding direct company contact emails and phone numbers for improved trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building and Gravity Forms for form management. It employs WP Rocket for caching and performance optimization, LayerSlider and Revolution Slider for visual content, and integrates multiple analytics and marketing scripts including Google Analytics, Google Ads, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag. The site uses jQuery and various jQuery UI components. Hosting is managed via Cloudflare DNS and nameservers, but SSL/TLS is not properly configured, resulting in no HTTPS availability. Performance metrics are not provided but inferred as moderate due to caching and lazy loading scripts. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Technical debt is low but the missing SSL certificate and security headers represent significant risks. Modernization opportunities include upgrading security configurations and enhancing accessibility compliance.
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.
