Medium risk. 4 critical or high findings in Security headers and SSL/TLS.

Security score

70/100

Risk levelMedium

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

Rittal GmbH & Co. KG operates a professional website focused on industrial manufacturing solutions including enclosures, power distribution, climate control, IT infrastructure, software, and automation services. The company targets industrial and manufacturing sectors globally, as evidenced by multiple language versions of the site. The website demonstrates a moderate level of digital maturity with modern frontend technologies such as Vue.js and good SEO practices. However, the absence of WHOIS data and lack of visible privacy and cookie policies indicate gaps in transparency and privacy compliance. Security posture is moderate with no explicit security headers detected, and no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy in content but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy disclosures to improve compliance and user trust.

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

4 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. 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

Rittal is positioned as an established enterprise in the manufacturing sector, providing essential industrial components and IT infrastructure solutions. Their business model is B2B, serving industrial clients worldwide. The website's multilingual support and comprehensive product offerings suggest a strong global market presence. The lack of visible contact information and WHOIS data may indicate privacy protection or domain registration issues, which should be clarified for full business credibility. The company appears to maintain consistent branding and professional content, supporting a high trust level among its target audience.

Security posture

The website currently lacks visible security headers and explicit security policies, which are important for protecting users and demonstrating compliance with best practices. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content, but the absence of incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits the site's security maturity. The use of HTTPS is assumed but not confirmed from the data. To improve security posture, the company should implement standard security headers, publish security and privacy policies, and provide clear incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide clear contact information including security incident response and vulnerability disclosure channels.
  4. Verify and publish WHOIS domain registration information to enhance transparency.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and update website technologies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and Vue.js components, indicating a contemporary frontend architecture. The presence of Google site verification suggests SEO awareness. However, no CMS or hosting provider information was detected. Performance appears moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. The site lacks visible analytics or tracking scripts, which may indicate minimal user tracking. Technical improvements could focus on enhancing accessibility, performance optimization, and integrating security 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.
