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

SCHENCK RoTec GmbH operates as a global leader in the manufacturing and servicing of balancing machines and related industrial solutions. The company targets industrial clients and manufacturing sectors worldwide, offering precision balancing technology, software, and comprehensive service support. Their market position is strong, with over 50 global locations and a reputation as a world market leader in balancing solutions. The website reflects a professional B2B business model with a focus on industrial manufacturing clients. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as Swiper.js for enhanced user experience. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness, with good SEO practices and basic accessibility features. The presence of cookie consent mechanisms and analytics tools like Piwik PRO and LinkedIn Insight indicate a moderate level of digital maturity and user tracking. From a security perspective, the website employs HTTPS and cookie consent but lacks visible security headers and explicit privacy or terms of service pages. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which suggests room for improvement in transparency and security communication. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable concern, potentially indicating privacy protection or data retrieval issues, which impacts the domain trustworthiness. Overall, the website is professional and functional with a solid business presence but would benefit from enhanced security practices, clearer privacy compliance documentation, and verified domain registration information to improve trust and compliance 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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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"

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

SCHENCK RoTec GmbH holds a significant position in the industrial manufacturing sector, specializing in balancing machines and related software and services. Their competitive advantage lies in precision technology and global service reach. The business model is B2B, focusing on industrial clients requiring high-quality balancing solutions. Revenue streams likely include product sales, software licensing, and service contracts. The target customer segments are manufacturing companies and engineering firms worldwide. The company demonstrates growth through extensive global locations and digital presence. Partnerships and marketing tools such as LinkedIn analytics support their business ecosystem. Strategic observations suggest a mature industrial manufacturer with opportunities to enhance digital trust and compliance visibility.

Security posture

The current security posture shows basic maturity with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No explicit privacy policy or terms of service pages were detected, which is a compliance gap under GDPR and related regulations. Absence of security.txt or vulnerability disclosure information limits incident response readiness and transparency. The domain's missing WHOIS data raises concerns about registration legitimacy. Overall, the security culture appears functional but could be significantly improved by adopting best practices in security headers, privacy documentation, and incident response communication.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance web security.
  2. Publish clear and accessible privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Add a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting and incident management.
  4. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents and data protection officer to improve transparency and compliance.
  5. Verify and update domain registration information to ensure WHOIS data is accurate and publicly available, enhancing domain trustworthiness.

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, indicating a stable technical foundation. The use of modern JavaScript libraries like Swiper.js enhances user interaction and responsiveness. The site includes cookie consent and analytics scripts from Piwik PRO and LinkedIn, showing integration with marketing and tracking tools. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved to meet higher standards. SEO is well addressed with meta tags and structured data. No hosting provider information was detected. Technical risks include missing security headers and incomplete privacy documentation, which could impact compliance and security posture.
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.
