Risk levelHigh

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

Gebr. Schwarz GmbH is a medium-sized, internationally active technology company specializing in plastics and toolmaking, with approximately 200 employees. The company positions itself as a system supplier offering comprehensive solutions in plastic injection molding, tool technology, and assembly of components. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting industrial clients in the manufacturing sector primarily in Germany. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS and employs modern web technologies including SVG graphics and HTML5 video, with a cookie consent mechanism implemented via Cookiebot. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, though accessibility features are basic. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and cookie consent but lacks visible security headers and explicit security or incident response policies. No privacy policy or terms of service pages were found in the provided content, which is a compliance gap. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but could improve in privacy and security transparency.

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. Network security

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

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • 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
    • 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
  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 · found on this site
  • 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 operates in the manufacturing sector, focusing on plastic and tool technology solutions. Their business model is that of a system supplier providing tailored solutions for complex manufacturing challenges. The website content and structure indicate a focus on industrial clients and partners, with clear descriptions of competencies and services. The absence of detailed privacy and security policies suggests room for maturity in compliance and risk management. The company uses Cookiebot for cookie management and Google services for marketing cookies, indicating awareness of data privacy regulations. No direct evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries was found in the content. The company appears stable with a consistent brand presence and moderate digital maturity.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism, which are positive security practices. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, or Strict-Transport-Security were detected, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were identified in the HTML content. The security score is moderate, reflecting basic protections but lacking advanced security measures and documentation. Recommendations include adding security headers, publishing security policies, and providing incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.
  3. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Provide clear contact information including email and physical address to enhance business credibility.
  5. Develop and publish a security policy and incident response contact details to improve security posture and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and widely used content management system. It uses modern web standards including SVG for graphics and HTML5 video for multimedia content. Cookiebot is integrated for cookie consent management, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. The site is responsive and mobile-friendly with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and Twitter card tags. Performance is moderate, with compressed CSS and JavaScript assets. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to enhance accessibility and security configurations to align with best practices.
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.
