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

NETxAutomation Software GmbH is a medium-sized company specializing in building management software and multi-protocol gateways for medium-sized and enterprise building automation projects. With over 20 years of experience and a presence in more than 100 countries, the company offers a comprehensive suite of products including the NETx BMS Platform and NETx Multi Protocol Server, alongside services such as project analysis, commissioning, and driver development. Their target audience includes system integrators, electrical engineers, and end customers seeking integrated building automation solutions. Technically, the website is built on Joomla CMS with jQuery and FontAwesome libraries, served by an Apache 2.4.62 server. However, the site lacks a valid SSL certificate and does not support HTTPS or modern TLS protocols, which significantly impacts its security posture. Performance metrics are not available, but the site shows basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is basic but includes meta tags and alternate language links. From a security perspective, the site implements some security headers such as Strict-Transport-Security and X-Content-Type-Options, and uses HttpOnly cookies. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate, lack of TLS support, and missing advanced security headers reduce the overall security score. No explicit security or incident response policies are found, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present. Overall, the website is professional and content-rich but suffers from critical security shortcomings due to missing HTTPS. Strategic improvements in SSL/TLS deployment and enhanced security policies are recommended to improve trust and compliance.

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

NETxAutomation holds a strong market position in the building automation sector, leveraging over two decades of experience and a broad international footprint. Their business model focuses on providing integrated software and hardware solutions with additional services to support project implementation and maintenance. The company benefits from industry certifications and memberships, enhancing credibility and trust. Their partnership ecosystem includes notable industry players such as ABB, Legrand, and others, which supports their market reach and solution integration capabilities. The target customer segments are clearly defined, and the company invests in training and support for integrators, indicating a focus on ecosystem growth and customer enablement.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is low due to the absence of HTTPS and modern TLS protocols, which exposes users to potential interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. While some security headers are present, critical best practices such as certificate transparency, OCSP stapling, and session resumption are missing. The lack of explicit security policies and incident response contacts suggests limited readiness for security incidents. Compliance with GDPR is supported by a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism, but the absence of a data protection officer contact and vulnerability disclosure reduces transparency. The overall security culture appears basic and would benefit from formalized policies and improved technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS and secure communications.
  2. Enable and configure modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and strong cipher suites.
  3. Implement advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Referrer-Policy.
  4. Publish explicit security and incident response policies, including contact channels for security issues.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and consider adding a security.txt file.
  6. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience.
  7. Add clear company contact information including emails and phone numbers on the website.
  8. Regularly audit and update the website's technical stack and security configurations.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on an Apache 2.4.62 server running on Debian, using Joomla CMS as the content management system. The front-end relies on jQuery and FontAwesome for UI elements. Despite a well-structured and content-rich site, the lack of DNS A/AAAA records in the provided data suggests incomplete DNS configuration or data collection. Performance data is missing, but the site appears to have basic mobile responsiveness and accessibility features. The absence of HTTPS and modern TLS protocols is a significant technical risk. The site uses cookie consent scripts and has multilingual support with hreflang tags. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but outdated in security and performance optimization aspects.
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.
