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

The website saegewerke.de is the official platform of the Deutsche Säge- und Holzindustrie Bundesverband e.V. (DeSH), a German sawmill and wood industry association. It provides a comprehensive directory of wood suppliers, types of wood, and assortments, targeting industry professionals and businesses in the manufacturing and wood processing sectors. The platform facilitates connections between suppliers and buyers, offering detailed supplier profiles and industry news. The website is well-branded, consistent, and professionally designed, reflecting its role as an industry association hub. Technically, the site uses a modern tech stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, Popper.js, FontAwesome, and Google Maps API. It employs a custom CMS backend and includes a consent management system for GDPR compliance. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, with basic SEO and accessibility features implemented. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent mechanisms. However, it lacks explicit published security policies and incident response contacts. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is good, with clear privacy and cookie policies present. The WHOIS data is minimal but consistent with the business's German identity. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and good privacy compliance. Strategic recommendations include publishing a formal security policy, adding security headers, and providing incident response contact information to enhance trust and 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

6 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

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1

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

Business profile

The Deutsche Säge- und Holzindustrie Bundesverband e.V. (DeSH) operates as a central industry association platform in Germany, serving the sawmill and wood manufacturing sector. Its competitive advantage lies in aggregating supplier information and assortments, providing a trusted marketplace and information hub for industry stakeholders. The business model focuses on facilitating supplier-buyer relationships and disseminating industry news. Revenue streams likely include membership fees and industry partnerships. The target customer segments are wood industry professionals, manufacturers, and suppliers. The platform shows growth indicators through comprehensive supplier listings and multilingual support. The partnership ecosystem includes numerous wood suppliers across Germany, enhancing its market presence and authority.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, and security headers suggests room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analysis. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies. Incident response readiness is unclear due to lack of explicit contact channels. The security culture appears basic but functional, with recommendations to formalize policies and improve header configurations to strengthen defenses.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive security policy accessible from the website footer.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information, including security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility and SEO features to improve user experience and search visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom CMS with a modern front-end stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, Popper.js, and FontAwesome. Google Maps API integration is used for supplier location mapping. The site is mobile responsive and includes a consent management system for GDPR compliance. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. The site lacks some advanced SEO and accessibility features but maintains a clean and structured layout. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require regular security reviews. Hosting provider details are not explicit, limiting infrastructure assessment.
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.
