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

Powerment GmbH & Co. KG is a German-based specialist company focused on the acquisition and marketing of by-products from coal-fired power plants, such as fly ash, REA gypsum, and boiler sand, primarily serving the construction and building materials industry. The company benefits from strong partnerships with its parent companies EP Power Minerals and EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg, positioning it as a reliable intermediary ensuring quality products and logistics. The website is professionally designed using TYPO3 CMS and Bootstrap, offering good content quality and clear navigation in German. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a cookie consent banner and detailed privacy policy. However, explicit security policies and incident response information are not present, and security headers are not detected, indicating room for improvement in security posture. Overall, the website is trustworthy, accessible, and well-aligned with its business objectives.

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"

      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

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

Powerment operates in a niche market segment bridging energy production and construction materials industries. Its business model revolves around securing guaranteed off-take agreements for power plant by-products and supplying these to the building sector. The company leverages its parent companies' market experience and infrastructure to maintain supply chain reliability and product quality. The website reflects a medium-sized enterprise with a clear focus on B2B customers in Germany. Strategic partnerships and industry memberships enhance its market credibility. The absence of direct e-commerce or extensive marketing tools suggests a focus on direct business relationships rather than mass consumer engagement.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and includes a cookie consent mechanism, indicating baseline security and privacy awareness. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth posture. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which could hinder timely communication in case of security incidents. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, minimizing privacy risks. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could benefit from enhanced header policies, published security policies, and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate any potential vulnerabilities in the web application and underlying infrastructure.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards for users with disabilities.
  5. Consider integrating privacy-friendly analytics to monitor website usage while maintaining GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS with Bootstrap 5 for responsive design and custom JavaScript for interactivity. The site is hosted with DNS managed by DomainControl (GoDaddy), indicating professional domain management. Performance is moderate with no evident broken elements. SEO is supported by proper meta tags including description, viewport, robots, and Open Graph tags. Accessibility is basic with skip links and ARIA labels but could be improved. No external analytics or advertising scripts were detected, reducing third-party dependencies. The technical stack is modern and suitable for the business needs but could be enhanced with additional security and performance optimizations.
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.
