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

Schindler Aufzüge und Fahrtreppen GmbH operates a professional and comprehensive website focused on elevator, escalator, and moving walk manufacturing and services in Austria. The company is positioned as a leading global player with a strong emphasis on innovation, digital services, and customer support. The website demonstrates a mature digital infrastructure leveraging Adobe Experience Manager, Adobe Launch, HubSpot, and various analytics and marketing tools, reflecting a high level of digital maturity and marketing sophistication. However, a critical security gap exists due to the absence of a valid SSL/TLS certificate, resulting in no HTTPS support, which significantly impacts the site's security posture. Despite this, the site maintains strong privacy compliance with clear privacy and cookie policies and GDPR adherence. The business credibility is high, supported by consistent branding, detailed legal information, and active social media channels.

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

    • 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

  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

The company targets building owners, facility managers, architects, and job seekers within the elevator and escalator industry. Its business model combines manufacturing, installation, maintenance, and digital modernization services, supported by a global parent company, Schindler Group. The website content is rich and well-organized, highlighting product lines, services, innovations, and career opportunities. The presence of multiple language alternates and extensive navigation indicates a broad market reach. The company leverages partnerships and digital marketing tools effectively to maintain market leadership and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website employs several security headers such as HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and a restrictive Content Security Policy, indicating awareness of security best practices. However, the lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols represent a major vulnerability, exposing users to potential data interception and undermining trust. No incident response or security policy pages were found, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The site uses modern analytics and marketing scripts but maintains privacy compliance through consent mechanisms. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS issues is critical to improve security posture.

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 or TLS 1.3) and configure strong cipher suites.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve SSL performance and security.
  4. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency.
  5. Regularly audit and update security headers and Content Security Policy to mitigate emerging threats.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, a robust enterprise CMS, integrated with Adobe Experience Cloud tools and HubSpot for marketing automation. It uses lazy loading for images and videos to optimize performance and supports multiple languages with hreflang tags. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility features and SEO practices. However, performance metrics were not available, and the lack of HTTPS is a significant technical risk. Hosting appears to use a CDN cache layer, improving content delivery speed. The technical stack is modern and enterprise-grade but requires urgent security upgrades.
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.
