Low risk. 3 critical or high findings in Security headers and SSL/TLS.

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 website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, emphasizing energy efficiency and durability with over 75 years of industry experience. The company targets both consumers and businesses seeking high-quality chimney and ventilation products. 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. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms but lacks visible security headers and explicit privacy or terms of service pages, which are areas for improvement. The absence of WHOIS data transparency slightly reduces trust but does not detract significantly from the overall legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing comprehensive privacy and security policies, and providing clear contact information to improve compliance 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

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 holds a leadership position in the energy-efficient chimney and ventilation sector, leveraging a long-standing history and a broad product portfolio. Its business model focuses on manufacturing and distributing durable chimney and stove systems, targeting a European audience. The company benefits from a strong brand presence and uses multiple marketing and analytics tools to optimize customer engagement and advertising effectiveness. While the website lacks explicit contact details and some compliance documentation, the overall digital footprint suggests a mature business with a focus on quality and innovation. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the provided data, but the use of third-party services like Leadfeeder and Tawk.to indicates an active marketing ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enforced and a robust cookie consent mechanism via Cookiebot, allowing granular user control over cookie categories. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a notable gap. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, and no security certifications are visible. The WHOIS data is missing, which reduces transparency and could be a concern for trust. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and establishing clear incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish explicit privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  3. Provide clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers for customer support and security incident reporting.
  4. Establish and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Google Tag Manager for analytics and Cookiebot for cookie consent management, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. It also uses Swiper.js for UI components and FilePond for file uploads, suggesting interactive and user-friendly features. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, no CMS or hosting provider information was detected. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts. The lack of visible security headers and incomplete WHOIS data represent technical risks that should be addressed to enhance security and trustworthiness.
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.
