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

REO AG is a well-established German family-owned manufacturing company specializing in inductive, resistive, and electronic components with a history dating back to 1925. The company operates internationally with subsidiaries across Europe, North America, Asia, and the Middle East, serving diverse industrial sectors including transportation, energy, medical technology, and defense. Their business model focuses on B2B supply of customized and standard components, emphasizing innovation, quality, and sustainability. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins and SEO tools, offering a professional and content-rich user experience. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support is a significant security shortfall, exposing the site to risks and reducing trust. Privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing. Overall, the company demonstrates strong business credibility but needs urgent improvements in security infrastructure to align with best practices.

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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 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 · 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

REO AG holds a strong market position as a medium-sized, family-run enterprise with a century-long legacy. Their diversified product portfolio and global footprint provide competitive advantages in specialized manufacturing sectors. The company leverages synergies across industries and invests in innovation and quality assurance. Their multilingual web presence and active social media engagement support international customer outreach. Revenue streams likely derive from product sales, customized solutions, and industry-specific services. The company’s strategic focus on sustainability and modern production techniques aligns with current market trends. Partnerships and subsidiaries enhance their global reach, while the absence of explicit certifications or security policies online suggests areas for operational transparency improvement.

Security posture

The website’s security posture is currently weak due to the lack of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support, which is a critical vulnerability. No modern TLS protocols are enabled, and essential security headers are missing. While SPF and DMARC records are correctly configured for email security, the absence of HSTS, OCSP stapling, and session resumption reduces overall security and performance. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, indicating limited transparency in security governance. The site does not implement cookie consent mechanisms despite GDPR compliance in privacy policy, which may pose compliance risks. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS and security headers is recommended to protect user data and enhance trust.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3) and disable legacy protocols.
  3. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  4. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  5. Deploy OCSP stapling and session resumption mechanisms to improve security and performance.
  6. Introduce a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  7. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  8. Regularly audit and update all plugins, themes, and server software to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  9. Enhance website performance monitoring and optimize load times.
  10. Maintain consistent branding and update trust indicators such as certifications and testimonials.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress 6.8.1 with Elementor 3.29.1 and Yoast SEO Premium, indicating a modern CMS and SEO framework. The site uses multiple plugins including Contact Form 7 for forms, Royal Elementor Addons for UI enhancements, and WPML for multilingual support. Hosting appears to be managed via kundenserver.de with Apache server software. Despite a rich content structure and good mobile optimization, performance data is missing or zero, suggesting potential measurement gaps or slow loading. The absence of HTTPS and SSL is a major technical deficiency. The site uses Brevo for marketing automation and push notifications. Overall, the technical stack is contemporary but requires urgent security upgrades and performance tuning to meet enterprise standards.
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.
