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
4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
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.

Missing Strict-Transport-Security 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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The company positions itself as a value-oriented supplier in the manufacturing sector, focusing on grinding wheels for various industrial applications including automotive, tool grinding, and turbine blades. The business model centers on manufacturing and direct sales, supported by a strong brand association with Krebs & Riedel. The website content and structure support clear navigation and product discovery, indicating a mature digital presence. No direct evidence of revenue streams or partnerships beyond the parent group was found. The company targets industrial customers seeking precision and cost efficiency.
Security posture
The website uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protection, indicating basic security hygiene. However, no advanced security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) were detected, and no public security or incident response policies are published. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the content. GDPR compliance is supported by a cookie consent mechanism and privacy policy. Incident response contact channels are not provided, which could be improved to enhance security readiness and trust.
Recommendations
Enable DNSSEC to improve domain name system security.
Implement security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options.
Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website.
Add a dedicated vulnerability disclosure or security contact page.
Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

The tech stack is modern and supports SEO and mobile responsiveness well. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. The site uses jQuery and standard WordPress libraries.

Opportunities exist to improve security headers and accessibility compliance.
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.
