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

Staufen AG is an international top-tier consulting firm specializing in Operational Excellence and Lean Management, serving businesses primarily in manufacturing and transportation sectors. The company offers a broad range of consulting services including supply chain management, performance improvement, digital transformation, leadership development, and sustainability. Recently acquired by Accenture, Staufen AG benefits from strong market positioning and extensive global reach through its subsidiaries in multiple countries. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with excellent content quality and user experience. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins such as Yoast SEO and WPML for multilingual support. It employs cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR and uses security headers and HTTPS to ensure secure communications. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, with good accessibility and SEO practices. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices including HTTPS enforcement, security headers, and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks explicit security policies, incident response information, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are recommended for enhanced transparency and trust. Overall, the website and business present a low risk profile with strong credibility and compliance. The lack of WHOIS data is mitigated by the professional presentation and association with Accenture. Strategic recommendations include publishing detailed security policies, providing direct security contacts, and implementing a vulnerability disclosure program to further strengthen security posture and trust.

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

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  1. 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.

    • Medium

      Missing X-XSS-Protection header

      Legacy XSS protection (deprecated but still recommended)

      What to do: Add "X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block"

    • Medium

      Missing Permissions-Policy header

      Controls browser features and APIs

      What to do: Implement a Permissions-Policy to restrict feature access

      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Permissions-Policy: accelerometer=(), autoplay=(), camera=(), cross-origin-isolated=(),…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • Medium

      Privacy policy may not be GDPR compliant

      Privacy policy lacks explicit GDPR compliance elements

      What to do: Update privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR requirements and user rights

  3. 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.

    • Medium

      No MTA-STS Policy

      MTA-STS enforces TLS for email delivery

      What to do: Implement MTA-STS to prevent downgrade attacks

  4. 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.

    • Medium

      SSL Certificate Expires Within 90 Days

      SSL certificate expires in 40 days

      What to do: Plan SSL certificate renewal

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

Business profile

Staufen AG operates as a consulting firm focused on operational excellence and lean management, targeting medium to large enterprises primarily in manufacturing and transportation sectors. The business model centers on providing consulting services that improve client operational efficiency and sustainability. The recent acquisition by Accenture enhances its competitive advantage and market reach. The company maintains a multilingual web presence with regional subsidiaries, indicating a global footprint. The website content and structure suggest a mature digital marketing strategy with strong SEO and user engagement. Partnerships and certifications such as ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 reinforce its credibility. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the main site suggests a controlled lead generation approach via contact forms.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and multiple security headers implemented, including HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, and Content-Security-Policy. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, indicating GDPR compliance. No sensitive data leakage or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the site lacks a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program, which are important for transparency and rapid response to security incidents. The WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is common for professional entities but limits external verification. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by adding explicit security governance documentation and direct security contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information page to enhance transparency.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide a direct security contact email (e.g., security@staufen.ag) for incident reporting and inquiries.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance JavaScript error monitoring and reporting mechanisms to proactively detect client-side issues.

Performance is moderate, with some large images and video content that could be further optimized. The site employs standard security headers and HTTPS, indicating good baseline security. There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries in the visible source. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and secure online presence with room for performance tuning.
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.
