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

Rieker Holding AG is a well-established European footwear manufacturer with a history spanning approximately 150 years. The company operates globally under the brands Rieker and remonte, offering fashionable shoes that emphasize comfort and functionality. Their business model includes manufacturing, retail through online shops, and a dedicated B2B portal for dealers. The website reflects a mature digital presence with multilingual support and clear navigation, targeting consumers seeking quality leisure footwear. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS and integrates modern tools such as Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot for consent management, and Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and performs moderately well. Security practices include HTTPS enforcement and cookie consent mechanisms, though explicit security headers could be improved. The security posture is strong with no evident vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is robust, featuring detailed cookie declarations and GDPR-aligned policies. The extensive use of third-party analytics and advertising pixels indicates a comprehensive marketing strategy with good transparency. Overall, the website presents a professional, trustworthy, and secure digital front for Rieker Holding AG. The lack of WHOIS data for the subdomain limits domain registration verification but does not detract from the site's legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers and continuous monitoring of third-party scripts to maintain security and compliance.

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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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';…

  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.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Rieker Holding AG holds a strong market position as a leading European shoe manufacturer with a diversified brand portfolio. Their competitive advantage lies in combining design, comfort, and functionality, appealing to a broad consumer base. Revenue streams include direct online sales, dealer partnerships, and B2B sales. The company targets fashion-conscious consumers and retail partners. Growth indicators include a well-maintained online presence, multilingual support, and active social media engagement. The partnership ecosystem includes multiple online shops and marketing platforms, supporting a comprehensive sales and advertising strategy. Operationally, the company demonstrates maturity with a focus on quality and customer service.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate bot traffic. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, ensuring GDPR compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not visibly declared and should be implemented to enhance protection against common web attacks. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, suggesting an area for improvement in transparency. Overall, the site balances usability and security effectively but could benefit from enhanced header policies and documented incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement explicit security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and partners to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance contact information by providing direct company emails and phone numbers for customer and security inquiries.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and best practices.

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.
