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

STELLA GRUPPE is a German manufacturing company specializing in the development and production of precision grinding wheels for various industrial applications. The company positions itself as a specialist with ISO 9001 certification, emphasizing quality and custom solutions. The website is professionally designed, bilingual (German and English), and provides detailed product and company information targeting industrial manufacturers and businesses requiring precision grinding products. Technically, the website uses modern web technologies including service workers for PWA capabilities and is hosted on 1&1 IONOS infrastructure. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though some security headers are missing and no cookie consent mechanism is present, which may affect GDPR compliance. The WHOIS data is missing or unavailable, which raises some concerns about domain legitimacy, but the professional web presence and certifications mitigate this risk. Overall, the website is trustworthy and well-positioned in its niche but could improve privacy compliance and security headers.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

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.

Add-on

Leaked records that mention stella-gruppe.com, from OffSeq Breach.

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 manufacturing sector, focusing on precision grinding wheels for a variety of grinding processes. Its business model centers on manufacturing and custom development tailored to customer needs. The market position is that of a specialist with a strong emphasis on quality and certification. The website indicates a medium-sized enterprise with a German base. There is no evidence of parent or subsidiary companies. The company leverages digital presence to showcase products and attract industrial clients. The lack of WHOIS transparency is a minor concern but does not detract significantly from the business credibility given the detailed product information and certifications.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of service workers for enhanced user experience. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The site lacks explicit incident response or security policy disclosures. GDPR compliance is partially addressed via a privacy policy but lacks cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good but could be enhanced with additional headers and compliance features.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  3. Publish explicit security and incident response policies to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure legitimacy and transparency.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to prevent vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web standards including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript with libraries such as jQuery and skrollr for animations. It uses a PWA manifest and service workers to enhance performance and offline capabilities. Hosting is provided by 1&1 IONOS, a reputable provider. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate with room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility features. The CMS appears to be 1&1 Website Builder, which provides ease of content management but may limit advanced customization. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and performance optimizations.
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.
