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

Scheuch Group is a well-established Austrian company specializing in industrial air cleaning and environmental technology solutions, holding a world market leader position since its founding in 1963. The company offers comprehensive services including devices, components, assembly, and consulting tailored to various industries. Their website reflects a professional digital presence with multilingual support and clear business information targeting industrial clients. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins and frameworks, but suffers from a critical security weakness due to the absence of a valid SSL/TLS certificate, resulting in no HTTPS support. Security headers are partially implemented, but the lack of encryption significantly undermines the site's security posture. Privacy compliance is strong, with a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism via Cookiebot. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professionally maintained, but urgent improvements in SSL/TLS configuration are necessary to enhance security 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

5 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  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 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';…

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

Scheuch Group operates in the energy sector, focusing on clean air technology and industrial environmental solutions. Their business model is B2B, providing customized engineering and manufacturing services globally. The company leverages certifications and compliance initiatives to strengthen market trust and maintain leadership. Their digital ecosystem includes social media channels and a multilingual website, supporting international outreach. The absence of privacy protection in WHOIS data and consistent registration details reinforce the company's transparency and legitimacy. The company’s portfolio and career sections indicate growth and investment in human capital, aligning with sustainable business practices.

Security posture

The website demonstrates basic security best practices such as security headers (X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, X-XSS-Protection) and a permissions policy restricting sensitive browser features. However, the lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols represent a critical vulnerability, exposing users to potential interception and undermining trust. No known vulnerabilities like Heartbleed or POODLE are detected, but the absence of HTTPS is a major compliance and security gap. Incident response contact information is not found, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present, indicating limited transparency in security incident handling. Privacy compliance is well addressed, but the security posture requires immediate remediation to meet modern standards.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and configure strong cipher suites.
  3. Enhance HSTS policy by including subdomains and enabling preload to prevent downgrade attacks.
  4. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to improve transparency.
  5. Regularly audit and update security headers and ensure secure form handling to protect user data.

Technical notes

Notes

The website runs on WordPress CMS with the Avada theme and Fusion Builder framework, utilizing Slider Revolution for rich media content. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot for analytics and cookie consent management. The server is Apache-based, hosted on IP 94.23.166.196. Performance metrics are not available, but the site appears optimized for mobile with responsive design and accessibility features. SEO is supported by Yoast SEO plugin and proper meta tags including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. However, the absence of HTTPS and TLS support is a significant technical deficiency that impacts security and SEO rankings. The site uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and GSAP for animations and interactivity.
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.
