Security score

45/100

Risk levelHigh

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

Pentatech, operated by Indexa GmbH in Germany, specializes in affordable DIY security products including wireless alarm systems, video surveillance cameras, smoke and gas detectors, and door intercoms. The company targets consumers and small businesses seeking easy-to-install security solutions. The website is built on an outdated Joomla! 1.5 CMS platform, hosted on German servers, and presents content professionally with clear navigation and product information. However, the technical infrastructure shows moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks modern security headers and updated CMS software, which could expose the site to vulnerabilities. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism or detailed data protection officer information. Contact options are limited to a web form without direct emails or phone numbers. Overall, the site is trustworthy but would benefit from technical and compliance improvements.

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
      • 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

Pentatech operates in the niche market of wireless and DIY security technology, leveraging VdS certification as a trust signal. The business model focuses on product sales through an online catalog targeting DIY consumers and small businesses. The company maintains a consistent brand image and offers a broad range of security products. The absence of direct contact details and limited marketing tools suggests a focused but modest digital presence. The hosting and domain registration align with the company's German location, supporting legitimacy. Growth potential exists through modernization of the website platform and enhanced privacy and security features.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication, but lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. The use of Joomla! 1.5, an unsupported CMS version, poses a significant security risk due to potential unpatched vulnerabilities. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms and detailed privacy compliance documentation indicates partial GDPR adherence. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires urgent updates to CMS and security headers to reduce risk.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade Joomla! CMS to a current supported version to mitigate security vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to enhance GDPR compliance.
  4. Publish a security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Enhance contact information availability by adding verified company emails and phone numbers.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Joomla! 1.5 CMS with JavaScript libraries such as MooTools and Phoca Gallery Slideshow. The site is hosted on rzone.de servers in Germany, consistent with the business location. The HTML and CSS validate correctly, but the site shows basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, likely impacted by legacy CMS and static resource loading. SEO is basic with meta keywords and description present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal user tracking. The site would benefit from modernization of the tech stack and improved mobile responsiveness.
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.
