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

Mayr-Melnhof Holz is a leading European manufacturer in the wood industry, specializing in engineered wood products such as glued laminated timber and cross-laminated timber. With a history spanning over 170 years, the company holds a strong market position and offers a comprehensive range of wood construction solutions. The website reflects a mature digital presence with detailed product information, references, and a multilingual interface targeting architects, planners, and industry professionals. Technically, the site is built on TYPO3 CMS and employs modern JavaScript libraries like Owl Carousel and Google Analytics for user tracking. However, the site suffers from slow load times and lacks a valid SSL certificate, which significantly impacts its security posture. The absence of HTTPS and modern TLS protocols is a critical vulnerability that needs immediate remediation. Security-wise, the company has implemented SPF records and avoids subdomain takeover risks, but the lack of DNSSEC, HSTS, and OCSP stapling reduces its overall security maturity. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism, aligning with GDPR requirements. Overall, the website is professional and content-rich but requires urgent security improvements, especially regarding SSL/TLS configuration, to enhance trust and protect user data.

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

6 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

    • 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

  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 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

Mayr-Melnhof Holz operates in the manufacturing sector, focusing on sustainable wood products for the construction industry. Its competitive advantages include a long-standing history, market leadership in glued laminated timber, and innovation in cross-laminated timber. The business model centers on producing and supplying engineered wood products and complete construction solutions. The company targets architects, planners, builders, and job seekers, with a strong presence in Austria and other European countries. The website indicates a large enterprise with multiple subsidiaries and a consistent branding strategy. Partnerships with email and DNS providers support its operational infrastructure. Growth indicators include recent news updates and a dedicated job portal, reflecting active business development.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate to low due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support, which are critical for secure communications. The site lacks advanced security headers and mechanisms like HSTS and DNSSEC, exposing it to potential risks. No security.txt or explicit incident response policies are found, indicating gaps in vulnerability disclosure and incident management. However, SPF records and absence of subdomain takeover vulnerabilities are positive indicators. The privacy policy and cookie consent align with GDPR, showing awareness of data protection requirements. Immediate focus should be on enabling HTTPS with a valid certificate and enhancing security headers to improve overall security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate supporting modern protocols (TLS 1.2 or 1.3) to enable HTTPS.
  2. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload options to enforce secure connections.
  3. Implement DNSSEC to protect DNS integrity and prevent spoofing.
  4. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Enhance security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  6. Optimize website performance to reduce load times and improve user experience.
  7. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain GDPR compliance.
  8. Establish clear incident response procedures and contact channels for security issues.
  9. Conduct security audits and penetration testing to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
  10. Improve mobile optimization and accessibility features to enhance usability.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries including Owl Carousel for carousels and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site has a comprehensive multilingual setup with proper meta tags and SEO optimizations. However, the performance is poor with a load time exceeding 34 seconds and a high number of resources (205). The SSL configuration is absent, with no TLS protocols enabled, leading to insecure connections. DNS records are properly configured with SPF for email security but lack DNSSEC and CAA records. The site is hosted on an IP associated with a1.net DNS servers. Accessibility and mobile optimization are good, but technical debt is evident in the slow loading and missing security features. Modernization efforts should focus on improving security and performance.
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.
