RIKA Innovative Ofentechnik GmbH is a medium-sized Austrian manufacturer specializing in high-quality heating stoves including pellet, wood-burning, and combination stoves. The company emphasizes Austrian craftsmanship and innovative stove technologies, targeting homeowners seeking efficient and aesthetic heating solutions. The website is professionally designed with excellent content quality, clear navigation, and strong branding consistency. It supports multiple languages and offers tools such as an online stove configurator and dealer locator to enhance customer engagement. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries, is hosted on DigitalOcean CDN, and implements security best practices including HTTPS, reCAPTCHA, and cookie consent mechanisms.

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. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

RIKA holds a strong market position in the energy sector focused on residential heating solutions. Their business model combines manufacturing with a dealer network and direct customer engagement via digital tools. The company leverages innovation in stove technology (e.g., RIKATRONIC, FIRENET) to differentiate itself. The presence of multiple language sites and regional targeting indicates a strategic approach to European markets. Customer testimonials and social media presence enhance trust and brand loyalty. The company appears to have stable operations with no signs of suspicious activity or domain inconsistencies.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses reCAPTCHA to protect forms, indicating a baseline security maturity. Tracking and marketing tools like Facebook Pixel and Google Tag Manager are implemented with consent mechanisms. However, the absence of explicit security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options) and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts represent gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The site would benefit from formalizing vulnerability disclosure and incident response processes to improve security culture and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a security policy and incident response contact information.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance transparency around data retention and privacy practices.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools for compliance and security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and performant technology stack including Alpine.js, Flickity, and various CDN-hosted JavaScript libraries. Hosting on DigitalOcean Spaces CDN supports fast content delivery. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site approach. The technical implementation is robust with room for improvement in security headers and formal documentation.
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.
