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. 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

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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

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

The company operates in the energy sector with a focus on mineral raw materials and construction products. Their market leadership in Northeast Germany suggests a strong regional presence and competitive advantage. The business model includes raw material extraction, processing, recycling, and renewable energy production, indicating diversified revenue streams. The website targets B2B customers such as construction companies and industrial clients. The use of structured data and SEO plugins supports digital marketing efforts. Partnerships with design agencies are evident, but no social media or broader ecosystem links are present. Growth indicators include emphasis on sustainability and renewable energy, aligning with current market trends.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms in place. However, the absence of explicit security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) and lack of published security or incident response policies indicate room for improvement. No signs of vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The use of WordPress and common plugins necessitates regular updates to mitigate risks. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure information is available, which could hinder coordinated vulnerability reporting. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business size but could be enhanced to meet higher compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program, possibly via a security.txt file.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress core and plugins to prevent known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing direct company contact emails and phone numbers for support and security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using popular plugins such as Yoast SEO for search optimization, WPBakery Page Builder for layout, Slider Revolution for visual content, and Contact Form 7 for user interaction. The site loads with moderate performance and is mobile optimized with responsive design. Hosting is managed via agenturserver nameservers, indicating a professional hosting environment. The site uses modern web fonts and lazy loading for images, improving user experience. Accessibility features are basic but present. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected, though security headers and advanced performance optimizations could be improved.
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.
