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

Willi Stober GmbH & Co. KG operates as a leading specialist wholesale supplier for the construction trade based in Karlsruhe, Germany. The company offers a broad product range exceeding 65,000 items in stock and over 1 million items available online, targeting professional craftsmen and the building sector. Their business model combines a physical specialist market with a comprehensive online shop, supplemented by services such as SmartHome solutions and industry-specific exhibitions. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides clear navigation and contact information, supporting a strong market position in the regional retail and manufacturing sectors. Technically, the website is built on Joomla CMS with modern frontend technologies including jQuery, Bootstrap 5, and Tiny Slider, ensuring a responsive and user-friendly experience. The site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration and includes CSRF tokens, indicating a good baseline security posture. However, there is room for improvement in security headers and explicit privacy compliance mechanisms such as cookie consent banners. From a security perspective, the site shows no signs of vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The absence of a security.txt file and incident response contact details suggests limited transparency in vulnerability management. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a privacy policy and terms of service, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing, which could pose compliance risks under GDPR. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professionally maintained, with a solid business credibility score. Strategic recommendations include implementing cookie consent, enhancing security headers, publishing vulnerability disclosure policies, and improving accessibility features to strengthen compliance and security posture.

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

7 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

    • 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

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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 holds a strong regional market position as a specialist wholesaler in the construction sector, serving professional craftsmen with a wide product portfolio and complementary services. Their business model leverages both physical retail and e-commerce channels, supported by industry exhibitions and SmartHome offerings, indicating diversification and customer engagement strategies. The presence of partner domains related to building planning and exhibitions suggests a collaborative ecosystem enhancing their market reach. The company’s branding is consistent and supported by trust indicators such as sustainability certification. Growth potential exists through digital maturity improvements and expanded online services.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of modern libraries. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the lack of security headers and incident response contact information indicates gaps in defense-in-depth and transparency. GDPR compliance is partial due to missing cookie consent mechanisms. The absence of a security.txt file limits external vulnerability reporting. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business size but could benefit from enhanced policies and technical controls to mitigate compliance and security risks.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner and mechanism to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to improve security posture.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and provide clear incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Joomla CMS with a modern frontend stack including jQuery 3.7.1, Bootstrap 5.3.2 modules, Tiny Slider, and Jarallax for parallax effects. Google Fonts (Roboto family) and FontAwesome 5 provide typography and iconography. The site is responsive with CSS media queries and uses deferred JavaScript loading for performance. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal user tracking. The SSL configuration is excellent with HTTPS enforced. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The technical implementation supports a professional and user-friendly experience but could improve in accessibility and security header implementation.
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.
