Risk levelMedium

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

SG-Qualitätssicherung GmbH is a medium-sized German company specializing in non-destructive testing and quality assurance services primarily for industrial clients in the energy and manufacturing sectors. The company offers a broad range of testing services including radiographic, ultrasonic, magnetic particle, and visual inspections, supported by recognized certifications such as ISO/IEC 17025 and SCC. Their market position is strengthened by long-term client relationships and a portfolio of reputable partners. Technically, the website is built on the Contao CMS platform with modern JavaScript libraries but suffers from a lack of HTTPS security and slow performance. Security posture is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and missing security headers, exposing the site to potential risks. The company demonstrates good privacy compliance with GDPR and cookie consent mechanisms in place. Overall, SG-Q GmbH presents a professional and trustworthy digital presence but requires urgent improvements in security infrastructure to protect business and client data.

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

      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

    • 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. 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';…

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 operates as a specialized service provider in the industrial quality assurance niche, targeting manufacturing and energy sectors. Their business model revolves around providing certified testing services both onsite and in dedicated facilities. The presence of multiple certifications and references from major industrial clients indicates a strong market position and trustworthiness. The company leverages partnerships with well-known industrial firms, enhancing its credibility. Growth indicators include active recruitment and digital service offerings like film digitization. The website content and social media presence support brand visibility and customer engagement. However, the lack of advanced analytics and marketing tools suggests a moderate digital maturity level.

Security posture

The current security posture is low with critical gaps including no valid SSL certificate, no HTTPS enforcement, and absence of security headers such as HSTS. These issues expose the website and potentially the business to interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. While cookie consent is implemented, there is no evidence of a formal security policy or incident response plan publicly available. No dedicated security contact channels were found. The company complies with GDPR basics but lacks advanced security best practices. Immediate remediation is required to secure communications and enhance trust. The absence of vulnerability disclosure and security.txt files further limits transparency and incident handling readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire website.
  2. Implement security headers including HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, and X-Frame-Options to harden the site.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update server and application security configurations to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance digital maturity by integrating analytics and marketing tools with privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Contao CMS with a modern front-end stack including jQuery, Bootstrap 5, Slick Carousel, Fancybox, and Select2. Hosting is likely managed via UI-DNS nameservers. Performance is slow with a large page size (~800KB) and high load time (~6.6 seconds), indicating potential optimization opportunities. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO basics are implemented but could be improved. The lack of HTTPS and modern TLS protocols is a significant technical risk. No advanced frameworks or platforms beyond CMS and JS libraries were detected. The site uses a cookie consent mechanism but lacks advanced analytics or tracking services. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports business needs but requires modernization and security enhancements.
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.
