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

Solarstadl Hemmetter is a small, established German company specializing in renewable energy solutions, particularly photovoltaic systems, with a business history dating back to 1995. The website serves as an informational platform targeting customers in the Franken region interested in solar energy products and services. The site is built on WordPress using Elementor and the OceanWP theme, indicating a modern but basic technical infrastructure. The website is currently under redesign, which reflects in the basic content quality and limited contact information. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and no visible vulnerabilities, but lacks advanced security headers and incident response information. Privacy compliance is partially met with privacy and cookie policies present but no active cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the site is moderately trustworthy but could improve transparency and security practices.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. Network security

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

    • 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

  4. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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 in the energy sector focusing on photovoltaic and renewable energy systems, offering complete system sales, storage solutions, and maintenance services. Its long-standing presence since 1995 positions it as a local specialist in the Franken region. The business model revolves around direct sales and service provision to residential and commercial customers. The website lacks detailed business registration or certification information, which could enhance credibility. No partnerships or subsidiaries are indicated. The company appears to maintain a straightforward, service-oriented approach with a focus on quality components from reputable manufacturers.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which limits transparency in security management. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism despite having a cookie policy may pose GDPR compliance risks. No analytics or third-party tracking scripts were detected, reducing privacy risks. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could benefit from implementing best practices and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR requirements and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and readiness.
  4. Include clear company contact emails and phone numbers on the website for better customer and security communication.
  5. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a standard WordPress CMS platform using the Elementor page builder and OceanWP theme, which are widely used and supported technologies. The site loads moderate external resources including Google Fonts and Google Maps embed. Performance is moderate with no evident optimization issues but could improve with caching and minification. Mobile optimization is good due to responsive design features of Elementor and OceanWP. Accessibility is basic with no advanced ARIA or semantic enhancements detected. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags found. Hosting appears to be with a German hosting provider indicated by nameservers. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small business but has room for modernization and optimization.
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.
