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

      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. 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

OBO Bettermann operates in the energy and manufacturing sectors, focusing on electrical infrastructure products. Their business model revolves around manufacturing and providing installation systems, supported by digital tools and services. The company targets professional users such as installers and architects, indicating a B2B focus. The website content and structure suggest a large enterprise with a well-established market presence. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the site suggests controlled communication channels, primarily via contact forms. The company maintains compliance with GDPR and uses modern marketing and analytics tools, indicating a digitally mature organization. No suspicious domains or partners were identified, supporting a clean partnership ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented. The use of a consent management platform aligns with privacy best practices. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program represents a gap in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The site uses third-party scripts such as Google Tag Manager and Usercentrics, which should be regularly audited to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by publishing explicit security documentation and providing direct security contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information on the website.
  2. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  3. Provide direct contact information for security incidents, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention policies and user privacy controls.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including Next.js and React, hosted on Azure CDN for optimized performance and scalability. It uses a consent management platform (Usercentrics) and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured navigation. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless CMS approach. The technical infrastructure supports fast loading times and a professional user experience. Opportunities exist to improve technical documentation around security and compliance to further reduce operational risks.
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.
