Security score

78/100

Risk levelLow

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

Schiedel is a well-established company specializing in ceramic and stainless steel chimney systems, stoves, and ventilation solutions primarily serving the European market. The company positions itself as a leader in energy-efficient chimney and integrated stove & ventilation systems with over 75 years of experience. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with a focus on durable and high-quality products. The target audience includes both consumers and businesses seeking reliable chimney and ventilation solutions. Technically, the website employs modern tools such as Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot for analytics and cookie consent management, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. However, the absence of explicit CMS or hosting details limits a full infrastructure assessment. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms but lacks visible security headers and published security policies, which suggests room for improvement in security posture. The WHOIS data is notably missing or inaccessible, which raises concerns about domain registration transparency. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy, security disclosures, and WHOIS transparency to improve trust and compliance.

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

3 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 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

Schiedel operates in the energy sector, focusing on manufacturing and distributing chimney and ventilation systems. Their market position as a leader with a long history provides competitive advantages in brand recognition and product quality. The business model is product-centric with a focus on innovation and durability. Revenue streams likely come from product sales and related services across Europe. The company integrates multiple marketing and tracking tools, indicating an active digital marketing strategy. Partnerships with major platforms like Google, Facebook, and LinkedIn are evident through tracking and social media links. Growth indicators include the use of advanced cookie consent and analytics tools, but the lack of visible contact information and privacy policies may hinder customer trust. The ecosystem appears focused on direct sales and digital engagement without visible affiliate or subsidiary domains.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and a robust cookie consent mechanism via Cookiebot. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security posture. No security.txt or incident response contact information is published, limiting transparency and readiness for security incidents. The extensive use of third-party tracking and marketing cookies increases the attack surface and privacy risks. Compliance with GDPR is partially indicated by the cookie consent but lacks a comprehensive privacy policy. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The missing WHOIS data is a concern for domain legitimacy and trust. Overall, the security posture is adequate but requires enhancements in headers, policies, and transparency to meet best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information, including security@ or abuse@ email addresses, to demonstrate readiness and transparency.
  4. Verify and improve SSL/TLS configuration to ensure strong encryption and trustworthiness.
  5. Disclose WHOIS registrant information or ensure domain registration transparency to improve legitimacy and reduce suspicion.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern JavaScript libraries and tools including Google Tag Manager for analytics and Cookiebot for cookie consent management, indicating a contemporary tech stack. CSS frameworks such as Swiper.js and FilePond are used for UI components and file handling. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements and good SEO practices including meta tags and Open Graph data. However, no CMS or hosting provider information was detected, limiting insight into backend infrastructure. Performance appears moderate based on included resources and scripts. Accessibility is basic with some ARIA roles and labels present but could be improved. The site lacks visible security headers and explicit privacy and terms pages, which are technical gaps. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security and compliance features.
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.
