Montanwerke Brixlegg AG · Manufacturing · Austria

Partial score · DNS & email only

51/100

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

Montanwerke Brixlegg AG is a mature manufacturing company specializing in copper recycling and upcycling solutions, with a strong emphasis on sustainability. The company operates primarily in Austria and targets industrial customers requiring high-quality copper products such as cathodes and round bolts. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with good content quality and clear navigation. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with common plugins like Yoast SEO and Borlabs Cookie, but suffers from a lack of a valid SSL certificate, resulting in no HTTPS support and weak security posture. Security headers are partially implemented, but critical TLS protocols and cipher suites are missing, exposing the site to potential risks. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism. Contact information is clearly presented, enhancing business credibility. Overall, the site scores moderately due to security shortcomings and technical performance issues.

Scanned

3 of 7 checks could not complete. The site may be unreachable or blocking automated scans, so the results below cover only what could be checked. Try a rescan later.

NIS2 and GDPR posture

NIS2 outside view
Not assessed
GDPR outside view
Not assessed

Both readouts depend on the site's pages, which could not be loaded in this scan.

Priority findings

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 27 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 holds a strong market position as an established player in copper manufacturing and recycling with a 26-year domain history. Its business model focuses on sustainable copper upcycling, catering to environmentally conscious industrial clients. The website supports this positioning with detailed product and sustainability information. The presence of LinkedIn and Wikipedia references adds to credibility. The company appears to have a medium-sized workforce and targets a niche industrial segment. No parent or subsidiary companies are indicated. The site’s marketing and analytics tools are standard, with Google Analytics for visitor insights and Borlabs Cookie for compliance. The lack of advanced security policies or certifications suggests room for growth in governance and compliance maturity.

Security posture

The website’s security posture is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS, which is a critical vulnerability. Although some security headers like HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-XSS-Protection are present, the missing TLS protocols and cipher suites severely undermine transport security. No incident response or security policy information is available, indicating limited transparency and preparedness. The cookie consent mechanism is properly implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. The domain registration is consistent and legitimate but lacks domain protection locks, which could be improved. Overall, the site requires urgent security enhancements to protect user data and maintain trust.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and install a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and configure strong cipher suites.
  3. Implement additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Referrer-Policy.
  4. Develop and publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information.
  5. Enable domain protection locks to prevent unauthorized domain transfers or changes.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress with a modern theme and uses JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Swiper for UI components. SEO is enhanced via Yoast SEO plugin, and cookie compliance is managed by Borlabs Cookie. The site shows good mobile optimization and accessibility basics but suffers from slow performance and lacks HTTPS, which impacts both security and SEO rankings. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified but the IP suggests European hosting. The site uses structured data (JSON-LD) for organization and breadcrumb markup, improving search engine understanding. There is an opportunity to improve technical infrastructure by upgrading security protocols and optimizing 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.
