Risk levelHigh

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

Niedax Group is a well-established German company specializing in cable management systems with over 100 years of experience. It operates globally with numerous subsidiaries and partners, serving industries such as energy, infrastructure, and manufacturing. The website reflects a professional and comprehensive digital presence, built on TYPO3 CMS with modern frontend technologies. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and reCAPTCHA usage, though some security headers could be enhanced. Privacy and cookie policies are present and GDPR compliant. The absence of WHOIS data is a notable anomaly but does not detract significantly from the overall legitimacy given the company's extensive footprint and professional presentation.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

    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 4 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

  3. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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 a leading supplier in its sector, with a diversified portfolio of subsidiaries across multiple countries and languages. Its business model focuses on manufacturing, consulting, and project management for cable laying solutions. The website's multilingual support and detailed subsidiary links indicate a mature international operation. Partnerships with specialized firms further strengthen its ecosystem. The company targets industrial and construction sectors, emphasizing quality and innovation.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates Google reCAPTCHA for form security, indicating awareness of basic security practices. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not clearly present in the HTML source, suggesting room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and compliance.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
  4. Enhance WHOIS data transparency or provide domain registration details to improve legitimacy perception.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging Bootstrap and Swiper.js for responsive design and interactive elements. It uses modern web standards and lazy loading for performance optimization. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices. External integrations include Google reCAPTCHA and a marketing/analytics widget from cloud.ccm19.de. The technical infrastructure appears stable and well-maintained, supporting a large, multilingual, and multi-regional corporate presence.
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.
