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

Kellner & Kunz AG, part of the RECA Group, is a leading specialist in C-parts management with a strong presence across Europe. The company offers a comprehensive range of over 140,000 quality products and services tailored to industry and trade sectors, supporting customers in optimizing their work processes and gaining competitive advantages. Their business model focuses on B2B supply and service, leveraging an extensive network of subsidiaries and partners across multiple countries. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern technologies such as Vue.js for search, Algolia, and Factfinder integrations, providing a good user experience with responsive design and SEO optimization. However, the site suffers from a critical security issue due to the absence of a valid SSL/TLS certificate, resulting in no HTTPS support, which significantly impacts its security posture. Security headers are well implemented, and privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, but the lack of proper SSL/TLS encryption is a major vulnerability. The site uses standard tracking tools like Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel with moderate user tracking levels and appropriate consent mechanisms. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy in content and business representation but requires urgent security improvements to protect user data and enhance trust. Strategic recommendations include immediate SSL/TLS certificate installation, enabling HSTS, and improving security configurations.

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

6 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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

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

Kellner & Kunz AG holds a strong market position as one of the leading companies within the RECA Group, serving diverse sectors including industry, craft, and automotive. Their competitive advantage lies in a vast product portfolio, extensive European network, and integrated service offerings such as automated systems, stock management, and electronic ordering. The company targets industrial and trade professionals, focusing on optimizing C-parts management. Growth is supported by multiple subsidiaries and partnerships across Europe, with a clear emphasis on innovation and quality. Their business model is primarily B2B, leveraging online shops and logistics services to enhance customer proximity and flexibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with several best practices in place, including security headers like HSTS, X-XSS-Protection, and Content Security Policy. However, the absence of a valid SSL/TLS certificate and lack of HTTPS support represent critical vulnerabilities that expose the site to data interception and undermine user trust. No DNSSEC or CAA records are configured, and there is no evidence of an incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy. Privacy compliance is strong with GDPR-aligned policies and consent mechanisms. The site lacks advanced security features such as OCSP stapling and session resumption, which could improve both security and performance.

Recommendations

  1. Install and configure a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable and enforce HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload options to prevent protocol downgrade attacks.
  3. Implement a comprehensive Content Security Policy covering all resource types to mitigate XSS and data injection risks.
  4. Enable OCSP stapling and session resumption to enhance security and improve load performance.
  5. Consider deploying DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain integrity.
  6. Establish a formal vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response plan to improve security readiness.
  7. Regularly audit and update all third-party libraries and scripts to avoid vulnerabilities.
  8. Enhance transparency by providing explicit security and data protection contact channels.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern front-end stack including Vue.js for search functionalities and integrations with Algolia and Factfinder for enhanced search experience. The site uses Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking, along with Facebook SDK for social media integration. Hosting is provided by DigitalOcean, as indicated by the IP address. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with some room for improvement in resource loading and caching strategies. The absence of a valid SSL certificate is a significant technical debt that impacts security and user trust.
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.
