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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  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.

    • 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
  2. 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

  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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
  4. 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

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 sustainable heating and cooling technologies. Its business model includes manufacturing, sales, technical consulting, and after-sales services. The website targets homeowners, builders, and professionals seeking renewable energy solutions. The presence of multiple regional domains indicates a broad geographic footprint. The company maintains a strong brand with consistent messaging and trust signals such as compliance pages and customer testimonials. The business appears large and established, with a parent company in Germany and a Swiss subsidiary. The website supports lead generation through contact forms and partner searches, indicating a B2B and B2C hybrid approach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented. Analytics are configured with anonymization options, reflecting privacy awareness. However, explicit security headers like Content Security Policy and X-Frame-Options are not evident, representing an area for improvement. No direct incident response or vulnerability disclosure contacts are provided, which could hinder rapid response to security issues. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with additional headers and transparency on incident handling.

Recommendations

  1. Implement Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to mitigate cross-site scripting risks.
  2. Add X-Frame-Options header to prevent clickjacking attacks.
  3. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  4. Provide explicit incident response contact information on the website.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript stack including RequireJS, Modernizr, Swiper.js, and Lodash, indicating a modular and interactive front-end. Analytics are handled via Piwik PRO with consent management integrated. The CMS appears to be an enterprise-grade system, likely Adobe Experience Manager, supporting multilingual content and complex navigation. Performance is moderate with preloading of fonts and images, and mobile optimization is good. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is well addressed with meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting provider details are not explicit. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid with room for performance and accessibility enhancements.
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.
