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

Richter+Frenzel GmbH + Co. KG operates as a large-scale wholesaler specializing in sanitary and building technology products, serving private customers, craftsmen, and object business clients primarily in Germany. The company maintains a strong market position with a clear business model focused on wholesale distribution and retail showroom services. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting a broad audience including private consumers and trade professionals. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS and leverages modern JavaScript libraries and frameworks such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and Usercentrics for consent management. Hosting infrastructure appears reliable, with DNS nameservers linked to Deutsche Telekom, indicating a stable and professional hosting environment. The site is mobile-optimized and demonstrates good SEO practices with comprehensive metadata and structured data. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS and integrates a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. However, it lacks explicit security headers and does not provide a public security policy or incident response contact, which are areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Overall, the website presents a low risk profile with strong business credibility and privacy compliance. Strategic enhancements in security policy transparency and header implementation would further strengthen their security posture.

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

7 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

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. 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"

    • 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

Richter+Frenzel holds a significant position in the German sanitary and building technology wholesale market, targeting multiple customer segments including private end-users, craftsmen, and large object business clients. Their business model combines wholesale distribution with retail showroom experiences, supporting both B2B and B2C channels. The company benefits from a well-established brand and consistent digital presence, supported by structured data and clear legal disclosures. While no explicit revenue data is available, the scale and infrastructure suggest a large enterprise with stable operations. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed but includes technology providers like Usercentrics and Google Tag Manager for marketing and compliance. Growth indicators include a dedicated career page and modernized website infrastructure.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and GDPR-compliant cookie consent management via Usercentrics. The use of Google Tag Manager is consent-aware, reducing privacy risks. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options represents a moderate security gap. No public security policy or incident response contacts were found, limiting transparency in case of security incidents. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure programs or security.txt files, which could enhance trust and readiness. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by adopting additional HTTP security headers and publishing formal security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to harden the website against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerable components are included.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and enterprise-grade content management system, indicating a mature technical infrastructure. It uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap, glightbox, and splide for UI components and interactivity. Usercentrics CMP is integrated for GDPR-compliant cookie consent management, and Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tags. The hosting environment appears professional with DNS nameservers linked to Deutsche Telekom. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, and the site is mobile-optimized with responsive design. SEO is well addressed through meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Technical risks are low but could be mitigated further by improving 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.
