Risk levelHigh

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

RAV Armaturen GmbH is a German manufacturer specializing in industrial valves, particularly safety-relevant ball valves used in sectors such as petrochemicals, gas industry, and pipeline construction. The company has a long-standing market presence since 1997 and targets industrial clients requiring high-precision valve solutions. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear contact information and multilingual support (German and English). Technically, the website is built on standard HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript with jQuery 1.11.3. While the site is functional and moderately optimized for mobile, it lacks modern security features such as DNSSEC and security headers. No CMS or advanced frameworks are detected, indicating a relatively simple but stable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with basic SEO and accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS (assumed from domain but not explicitly confirmed in data), but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are recommended for enhanced protection. No cookie consent mechanism is present, which may impact GDPR compliance. The WHOIS data shows a consistent and legitimate domain registration with no privacy protection, appropriate for the business type. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is found. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but could improve its security posture and privacy compliance. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, implementing cookie consent, and updating JavaScript libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.

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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

RAV Armaturen GmbH operates in the energy and manufacturing sectors, focusing on industrial valve production. Their competitive advantage lies in precision engineering and adherence to international standards, serving markets such as petrochemicals, gas, and pipeline construction. The business model centers on manufacturing and direct sales to industrial clients. The company maintains a clear and consistent brand presence with a website that supports German and English languages, indicating an international customer base. The absence of social media and advanced marketing tools suggests a traditional B2B approach. The partnership with Koppelberg for design indicates collaboration with specialized service providers. Growth indicators are stable given the long domain age and consistent content. No subsidiaries or parent companies are identified.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate with foundational protections such as domain status locks and HTTPS assumed. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms reveals gaps in security best practices and privacy compliance. No incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which may limit responsiveness to security events. The use of an outdated jQuery version poses potential vulnerabilities. Data protection practices are minimal, with no visible data collection or tracking mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small industrial website but requires enhancements to meet modern standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and update privacy policy to reflect GDPR compliance and user data handling.
  4. Upgrade JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to reduce vulnerability risks.
  5. Publish an incident response contact and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve security transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a simple technology stack with HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript supported by jQuery 1.11.3, which is outdated and may pose security risks. No CMS or advanced frameworks are detected, indicating low technical complexity. The site is moderately optimized for mobile and accessibility but lacks advanced SEO features. Hosting details are limited to registrar information (Mesh Digital Limited). Performance is moderate with no visible analytics or tracking scripts, suggesting minimal technical overhead. The site could benefit from modernization including responsive design improvements, updated libraries, and enhanced security configurations.
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.
