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

5 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 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
  • 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

REXEL Austria holds a market-leading position in the Austrian electrical wholesale sector, leveraging its parent company REXEL Group's global presence. Their competitive advantage lies in a broad product portfolio, technical expertise, and strong logistics capabilities. The company targets industrial clients, trade professionals, and commercial businesses, offering tailored solutions including energy management and building automation. Their partnerships with SCHÄCKE and REGRO enhance market reach. The website content and social media presence indicate a mature and stable business with a focus on sustainability and innovation. Growth indicators include extensive employee base (~700), multiple locations (16), and a large customer base (~16,000).

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, which could be improved. Security headers are not explicitly detected, suggesting room for enhancement in defense-in-depth. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were found. The absence of a security.txt or similar document limits transparency for security researchers. Overall, the site is secure for typical user interactions but could benefit from additional security best practices and incident response disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection.
  3. Publish incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Neos CMS platform leveraging the Flow PHP framework, indicating a modern and flexible infrastructure. The use of Plyr.js for media playback and Google Cloud Storage for hosting assets suggests a cloud-optimized setup. Performance is moderate with responsive design and mobile optimization evident. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. However, the absence of explicit security headers and limited analytics/tracking tools indicate a conservative approach to user data collection and security. The technical stack is appropriate for a large enterprise with room for incremental improvements in security and accessibility.
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.
