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

SSC GmbH is a small Austrian company founded in 2015 specializing in engineering, IT nearshore project services, and technical expert and management search. The company leverages over 25 years of experience and a strong national and international network to provide specialized technical staffing and engineering solutions, including custom machinery development and software development via nearshore partners. The website is professionally designed using WordPress and the Divi theme, targeting German-speaking technical and industrial audiences. However, the site lacks a valid SSL certificate, which significantly impacts its security posture. Cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, reflecting GDPR compliance, but no explicit security or incident response policies are found. Overall, the company presents a credible business profile with clear contact information and a consistent brand presence.

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

10 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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  2. 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

  3. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  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

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

SSC GmbH operates in a niche market focusing on technical staffing and engineering services, differentiating itself through deep industry experience and a broad expert network. Its business model combines direct recruitment of technical specialists and managers with nearshore IT project provisioning and custom engineering solutions. The company targets industrial clients requiring high-quality technical personnel and engineering support. The website content and structure support this positioning, emphasizing expertise, reliability, and personalized service. Partnerships with nearshore IT providers and manufacturing partners enhance service offerings. The company maintains a professional online presence but could improve digital maturity by addressing security gaps and enhancing technical infrastructure.

Security posture

The website's security posture is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS support, exposing users to potential data interception risks. No advanced security headers or mechanisms such as HSTS, OCSP stapling, or session resumption are implemented. While cookie consent is present and GDPR compliance is indicated, the lack of explicit security policies or incident response contacts reduces transparency and preparedness. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found, limiting avenues for responsible vulnerability reporting. These gaps pose risks to user trust and data protection, especially given the company's handling of personal and professional contact information.

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, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Establish and publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate any other potential vulnerabilities and improve overall security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, leveraging jQuery and standard web technologies. Hosting appears to be on a server with IP 116.202.247.228, likely a European hosting provider. Performance metrics are missing or zero, indicating a need for performance monitoring and optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, and navigation is clear and user-friendly. However, the lack of HTTPS and modern TLS protocols is a critical technical deficiency. The site uses a GDPR-compliant cookie consent plugin, but no advanced analytics or tracking services are detected beyond a leiadmin tracking script. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but requires modernization and security enhancements to meet current 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.
