59/100

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

net4com GmbH is a specialized company focusing on trading IT and telecommunications hardware, asset recovery, recycling, consulting, and engineering services primarily targeting the Central and Eastern European markets. With over 25 years of industry experience and local presence in Austria, Bulgaria, and the UK, the company leverages a trusted network of partners and OEM vendors to provide integrated and personalized solutions. Their business model includes managed service contracts for asset management and compliance with environmental regulations, supporting clients' corporate responsibility programs. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using common plugins and themes, served by an Apache server on CentOS with PHP 7.4.29. However, the site lacks a valid SSL certificate and does not support HTTPS, which is a significant security and trust concern. The site shows basic mobile optimization and accessibility but has slow performance and limited SEO optimization. From a security perspective, the absence of HTTPS, lack of security headers, and missing advanced security policies reduce the overall security posture. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are present. Privacy and cookie policies exist but lack active consent mechanisms. Contact information is comprehensive and professionally presented, enhancing business credibility. Overall, while the business appears legitimate and professionally presented, the website's security shortcomings, especially the lack of HTTPS, pose risks to user trust and data protection. Strategic improvements in security infrastructure and privacy compliance are recommended to enhance the company's digital maturity and trustworthiness.

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

1 finding 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

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

net4com GmbH positions itself as a regional leader in IT and telecommunications hardware trading and services, focusing on Central and Eastern Europe. Their competitive advantage lies in extensive industry experience, a broad partner network, and compliance with environmental regulations. The business model combines hardware trading with consulting and managed services, generating revenue from multi-vendor stock sales and service contracts. The company targets businesses requiring reliable IT asset management and recycling solutions. Growth indicators include local warehouses and processing centers in multiple countries and partnerships with large WEEE recycling firms. The partnership ecosystem includes OEM vendors, operators, and system integrators, supporting sustainable sales and profits. Strategic observations highlight the need for digital security enhancements to maintain competitive positioning.

Security posture

The current security maturity level of net4com.at is low due to the absence of HTTPS and a valid SSL certificate, which is a critical vulnerability impacting confidentiality and trust. The server uses outdated TLS protocols (none enabled) and lacks security headers such as HSTS, CSP, and X-Frame-Options. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are evident, and no security or data protection policies are published. The site uses secure cookie attributes but does not implement cookie consent mechanisms, which may affect GDPR compliance. The lack of OCSP stapling and session resumption further reduces security and performance. These gaps expose the business to risks including data interception, phishing, and reputational damage. Immediate remediation is necessary to align with GDPR and industry best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  3. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable legacy protocols.
  4. Add comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  6. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan, including contact channels for security issues.
  7. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  8. Consider implementing vulnerability disclosure and security.txt files to improve transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website runs on a standard WordPress CMS with the Total theme and uses popular plugins like Revolution Slider and WPBakery Page Builder. The server environment is Apache on CentOS with PHP 7.4.29. The site lacks HTTPS due to an invalid or missing SSL certificate, which is a critical technical deficiency. Performance metrics are missing or zero, indicating potential measurement gaps or slow loading times. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses Google Fonts and Font Awesome for styling. DNS records show use of Outlook mail protection and edis.global nameservers. No advanced analytics or tracking scripts are detected, indicating minimal data collection. Technical debt includes outdated PHP version and missing modern security configurations. Modernization opportunities include SSL deployment, performance optimization, and enhanced SEO and accessibility features.
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.
