Security score

78/100

Risk levelLow

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

SMA Solar Technology AG operates a professional website focused on photovoltaic inverter solutions and solar energy technology. The company is positioned as a leading enterprise in the energy sector, targeting solar energy professionals and customers. The website uses modern web technologies such as Angular and Material Design, hosted on professional DNS infrastructure. However, the site lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, incident response contacts, and security headers, which are important for compliance and security posture. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, allowing full content access. Overall, the site is professional but could improve its security and privacy compliance to enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

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.

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 the renewable energy market with a focus on photovoltaic inverters and solar solutions. Its business model centers on manufacturing and selling these products globally. The website branding is consistent and professional, reflecting an enterprise-level organization. The absence of detailed contact information and compliance policies on the site suggests room for improvement in customer engagement and regulatory transparency. The domain registration data aligns well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy.

Security posture

The website currently exhibits a basic security posture with no detected security headers and no visible SSL/TLS configuration details in the provided data. The lack of privacy and cookie policies, as well as incident response information, indicates gaps in compliance and security readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site should implement standard security headers, enforce HTTPS, and provide clear privacy and incident response information to improve its security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Ensure HTTPS is enforced with strong SSL/TLS configuration.
  4. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure information, including security contact emails.
  5. Enhance accessibility and SEO features to improve user experience and search visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Angular framework with Material Design components, indicating a modern front-end technology stack. Hosting appears to be managed via EuroDNS nameservers, suggesting professional DNS management. The site shows good mobile optimization and a consistent design language. However, no CMS or backend technologies were identified from the provided data. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. The absence of analytics or tracking scripts suggests minimal user tracking. Technical debt appears low but security and compliance features need enhancement.
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.
