Risk levelMedium

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

Ritter Elektrotechnik GmbH is a specialized German company focused on providing renewable energy solutions including photovoltaic systems, energy storage, and electric vehicle charging stations. The company targets both private and commercial customers, emphasizing sustainable energy and cost savings. Their market position is supported by over 1400 completed projects and a significant installed capacity, reflecting a solid regional presence. The website content is professionally presented, with clear service descriptions and multiple contact channels, supporting a trustworthy business image. Technically, the site is built on the Webflow platform, leveraging modern web technologies such as Google Fonts, PostHog analytics, and Weglot for multilingual support. The site is mobile optimized and performs moderately well, though accessibility features are basic. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and use of Cloudflare Turnstile captcha, but lacks explicit security headers and formal security policies. WHOIS data is missing, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy and registration status, warranting further investigation. Overall, the website is professional and functional but could improve privacy compliance and security transparency.

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. 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

    • 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. 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
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 22 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

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

The company operates in the energy sector, specifically renewable solar energy and electric mobility infrastructure. Its business model combines B2B and B2C services, offering tailored photovoltaic installations, energy systems, and maintenance services. The presence of customer testimonials and a certification as 'Handwerksunternehmen des Jahres 2019' enhances credibility. The firm appears to be a small-sized enterprise focused on the German market, with a clear emphasis on sustainability and energy independence. The website's multilingual support indicates an intent to reach broader European audiences. The company leverages partnerships such as with IBC Solar for solar calculators, indicating integration with industry players. Growth indicators include a high number of installed modules and projects completed. The company’s digital presence is modern but could benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures to strengthen trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and the use of Cloudflare Turnstile captcha on the contact form helps mitigate automated abuse. However, the absence of key security headers (e.g., Content Security Policy, HSTS) and lack of published security or incident response policies indicate gaps in security best practices. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The missing WHOIS data is a notable risk factor for domain legitimacy and trust. GDPR compliance is partially addressed via a privacy policy, but no cookie consent mechanism was found, which may be a compliance gap. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small business but should be enhanced to meet higher compliance and trust standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen site security.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a formal security incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance trust and preparedness.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS registration details to ensure domain legitimacy and reduce suspicion.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and meet compliance standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS, which provides a modern and responsive design framework. It integrates Google Fonts for typography and Weglot for multilingual support, indicating a focus on internationalization. PostHog analytics is used for user behavior tracking, with session recording capabilities. The site uses Cloudflare Turnstile captcha to protect forms from spam and abuse. Hosting appears to be via Webflow's infrastructure, likely backed by Cloudflare CDN, contributing to moderate performance and good uptime. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation clarity and professional design. However, the absence of explicit security headers and cookie consent mechanisms suggests areas for technical improvement. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional user experience but could be enhanced for security and privacy 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.
