Security score

Risk levelHigh

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

Steyr Motors AG is a mature Austrian company specializing in the development and production of high-performance diesel engines for heavy-duty vehicles and marine applications. The company offers a range of products including marine engines, vehicle engines, generator sets, and integrated software solutions, supporting customers throughout the product lifecycle. The website reflects a professional and well-structured digital presence with multilingual support and investor relations content. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins for SEO and cookie management, but critically lacks a valid SSL certificate, exposing users to security risks. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a clear privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism. Business credibility is strong with clear contact information, certifications, and legal documents available. Overall, the site is functional and professional but requires urgent security improvements to enable HTTPS and enhance 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

9 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  2. 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

  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.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • 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 · found on this site
  • 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

Steyr Motors AG holds a strong niche in the transportation and energy sectors, focusing on durable diesel engines with high power density. The company targets industrial clients requiring reliable engines for vehicles and marine use. Their business model combines manufacturing with lifecycle support services, including customization and hybrid system solutions. The presence of investor relations and financial statements indicates a transparent and growth-oriented organization. The multilingual website supports global outreach. Partnerships include a dedicated investor relations subdomain. The company maintains ISO certifications, enhancing trust and compliance. The domain age and WHOIS data confirm legitimacy and long-term market presence.

Security posture

The website's security posture is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate, resulting in unencrypted HTTP traffic. No advanced security headers like HSTS or CSP are implemented, and OCSP stapling is disabled. While no known vulnerabilities or malware are detected, the lack of HTTPS is a critical risk that undermines user trust and data protection. No explicit security policy or incident response contact information is found, which could hinder timely handling of security incidents. Cookie consent is managed properly, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. The site should prioritize SSL deployment and enhance security headers to improve its security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Add security headers such as HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  4. Regularly update server software and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure program.
  6. Enhance accessibility features and conduct performance audits for optimization.
  7. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies in line with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website runs on a modern WordPress CMS with PHP 8.1.32 and Apache server. It uses the Enfold theme and several plugins including Yoast SEO for search optimization, WP Rocket for caching and performance, and Borlabs Cookie for GDPR-compliant cookie management. The site is multilingual, supporting at least six languages. Despite these modern technologies, the site lacks HTTPS, which is a significant technical deficiency. Performance data is unavailable but caching plugins suggest moderate optimization. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and structured data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. Hosting appears to be managed via Austrian nameservers (kt-net.at), consistent with the company's location.
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.
