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

Monta Klebebandwerk GmbH operates as a manufacturer and supplier of adhesive tapes tailored for various industrial and packaging applications. The company targets a B2B audience including industry users, packaging specialists, printers, converters, and packaging machine manufacturers. Their website reflects a medium-sized enterprise with a focus on sustainability and product innovation, offering tools like a product finder and detailed technical information. The multilingual site supports German, English, French, Spanish, and Italian, indicating a European market focus. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript libraries, Cookiebot for consent management, and Google Analytics for tracking, demonstrating a moderate level of digital maturity. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and consent-based tracking, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is supported by a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism, though a formal privacy policy page was not detected in the provided content. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-structured, but could improve transparency and security documentation.

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. 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';…

  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

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 positions itself as a specialized adhesive tape manufacturer with a clear focus on industrial and packaging sectors. Their business model revolves around B2B sales, supported by detailed product information and sustainability initiatives such as the Greenline product range. The presence on professional social networks like LinkedIn and Xing supports their market credibility. The website's navigation and multilingual support indicate a customer-centric approach targeting European markets. No direct financial or parent company data was found, suggesting an independent medium-sized enterprise. The lack of explicit contact emails or phone numbers on the main pages may indicate a preference for controlled communication channels via contact forms.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and integrates a robust cookie consent mechanism via Cookiebot, aligning with GDPR requirements. Google Analytics is deployed with consent-based loading, reducing privacy risks. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which could hinder timely reporting and resolution of security issues. The site does not expose sensitive data or show signs of vulnerabilities in the analyzed content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could benefit from enhanced headers, documented policies, and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the main navigation to improve transparency and compliance.
  3. Add a security policy page and provide incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern JavaScript frameworks and libraries, including Cookiebot for consent management and Google Tag Manager for analytics deployment. The HTML structure is valid and supports responsive design, ensuring good mobile optimization. SEO optimization is basic with canonical and hreflang tags but lacks comprehensive meta descriptions and Open Graph tags. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to improve page load times. No CMS or hosting provider information was detected. The site could improve by adding structured data (JSON-LD) for better search engine understanding 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.
