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

REHAU New Ventures operates as the corporate venturing unit of the REHAU Group, focusing on collaboration with startups to drive innovation within the core business and beyond. Their business model includes venture clienting, venture capital investments, and venture building to capture new market opportunities. The company positions itself as an innovation catalyst embedded within a large industrial group, targeting startups, investors, and corporate partners. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear messaging and leadership profiles. Technically, the website is built on the Webflow platform, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Swiper.js, and integrates Google Tag Manager and HubSpot for analytics and marketing automation. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices, fast loading, and includes accessibility considerations. Privacy compliance is addressed through a consent management platform and comprehensive privacy and cookie policies. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes standard security headers, but lacks explicit published security policies or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data for the domain raises concerns about domain legitimacy and ownership verification. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and technical maturity, but the domain registration inconsistency warrants further verification to ensure trustworthiness and reduce potential risks.

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.

    • 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
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 18 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

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.

Business context

Business profile

REHAU New Ventures leverages the heritage and resources of the REHAU Group to operate as a corporate venturing entity, focusing on innovation through startup collaboration and investment. Their competitive advantage lies in their embedded position within a large industrial group, enabling access to resources and markets. The business model combines venture clienting, capital investment, and venture building, targeting startups that can disrupt or complement REHAU's core industries. Revenue streams likely include equity stakes and strategic partnerships. The target customer segments include startups, corporate innovation teams, and investors. Growth indicators include active portfolio management and leadership presence across multiple regions. The partnership ecosystem includes links to REHAU Group and external platforms such as LinkedIn and YouTube. Strategic observations highlight a focus on sustainable innovation and long-term relationships.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, reducing common web vulnerabilities. The use of a consent management platform indicates attention to privacy compliance. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism limits transparency and preparedness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. The domain's missing WHOIS data is a notable risk factor, potentially impacting trust and domain ownership verification. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by publishing formal security and incident response documentation and verifying domain registration details.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and update domain WHOIS registration to ensure legitimacy and ownership transparency.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Provide contact details for a Data Protection Officer or privacy contact to enhance GDPR compliance.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and integrations to mitigate supply chain risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern, scalable infrastructure using Webflow CMS and CDN hosting, ensuring fast performance and mobile responsiveness. The tech stack includes jQuery and Swiper.js for UI interactions, Google Tag Manager for analytics, and HubSpot for marketing automation. The site uses a consent management platform to comply with privacy regulations. Technical debt appears low with clean HTML and CSS, and no broken elements detected. Opportunities exist to enhance accessibility features and implement more advanced SEO optimizations. Technical risks are minimal but include reliance on third-party scripts which should be regularly reviewed for vulnerabilities.
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.
