Risk levelMedium

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

HERMLE AG operates a professional customer portal at myhermle.de, providing registered customers with access to service requests and machine information. The portal supports user registration and login, targeting a B2B manufacturing audience primarily in Germany. The website demonstrates a consistent brand presence and offers essential business services digitally. Technically, the site uses modern frontend technologies such as Bootstrap 5, jQuery, and DataTables, ensuring a responsive and user-friendly experience. However, some areas such as accessibility and SEO could be improved. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS implied, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is partially met with a clear privacy policy and terms of service, but no cookie consent mechanism is present. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professionally maintained, with room for enhancements in security and privacy transparency.

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

4 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. 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

HERMLE AG is positioned as an established manufacturing company with a medium-sized customer base, evidenced by over 700 registered users on the portal. The business model focuses on providing digital services to support machine maintenance and customer service management. The portal enhances customer engagement and operational efficiency. The company maintains consistent branding and trust signals through official domain usage and secure login mechanisms. No direct contact information or social media presence is visible on the portal, indicating a controlled communication channel. The absence of advertising and tracking tools suggests a focus on privacy and user experience. The company appears to have a stable market position within the manufacturing sector in Germany.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication, and uses secure login forms for customer access. However, no explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS were detected, which could improve protection against common web attacks. There is no publicly available security policy or incident response information, nor a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. The lack of a cookie consent mechanism may pose GDPR compliance risks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from enhanced transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance and user transparency.
  3. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and partners.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet modern standards and improve user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Bootstrap 5 for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and DataTables for tabular data presentation. The HTML structure is valid and includes meta viewport tags for mobile optimization. Performance is moderate with no heavy scripts or external dependencies detected. SEO optimization is basic with a proper title tag but no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data present. Accessibility is basic with some ARIA roles but could be improved. Hosting and CMS details are not explicitly available. No signs of technical debt or outdated libraries were found, indicating a well-maintained frontend stack.
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.
