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.

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.

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.

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The company occupies a strategic position in the energy sector digitalization market, focusing on IT-driven solutions for utilities and energy providers. Its business model is B2B, delivering software and consulting services that address critical industry needs such as smart metering rollouts and process digitalization. The parent company relationship with Thüga AG provides a strong ecosystem and partnership network, including several specialized subsidiaries and partners. Growth indicators include expanding customer base and active engagement in industry events and training (PlusAkademie). The website's integration with multiple Thüga group domains and external trusted platforms reflects a mature partnership ecosystem and a well-established market presence.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, anonymized IP tracking in analytics, and a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. However, explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are absent, representing potential compliance and transparency gaps. The use of third-party scripts and marketing tools is managed but requires ongoing auditing to mitigate risks. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Security headers beyond HTTPS are not explicitly present, suggesting room for improvement in defense-in-depth strategies. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by formalizing policies and improving header configurations.
Recommendations
Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact channels to improve transparency and trust.
Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and improve security posture.
Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to prevent vulnerabilities from outdated components.
Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security and privacy compliance reviews to maintain high standards.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using version 6.8.2, incorporating Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for scripting. It integrates advanced UI components such as Swiper.js for sliders and Ekko Lightbox for media display. Analytics and marketing tools include Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Microsoft Dynamics Marketing Forms, supported by a cookie consent manager from Digitale Werke. The site demonstrates good SEO practices with meta tags, Open Graph data, and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in script loading and caching. Mobile optimization is good, ensuring usability across devices. The technical stack is robust and suitable for the business needs, though continuous monitoring and updates are recommended to mitigate technical debt and security risks.
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.
