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. 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 Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…
  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

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 market position as a leading manufacturer in the German meat and protein industry, leveraging multiple brands such as Reinert Bärchen. Their business model focuses on manufacturing and retail distribution, targeting consumers and retail partners interested in traditional and plant-based protein products. The website content and linked domains indicate a well-established brand ecosystem with active social media engagement. Revenue and employee data suggest a large operational scale. The company benefits from a clear corporate identity and consistent branding, supported by a modern digital infrastructure. Strategic partnerships and brand diversification are evident, positioning the company for sustained growth in a competitive market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, no exposed sensitive data, and implementation of cookie consent mechanisms. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected in the HTML content or scripts. The domain registration is transparent and consistent with the business, further enhancing trust. To elevate security maturity, the company should consider publishing a formal security policy, enabling DNSSEC, and adopting vulnerability disclosure practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Enable DNSSEC to enhance domain name system security.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Continue to monitor and update third-party scripts and consent mechanisms to maintain privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and scalable content management system suitable for enterprise use. It employs modern JavaScript libraries such as Slick Slider and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. CookiePro is used for consent management, indicating attention to privacy regulations. Hosting appears stable with Cronon GmbH as registrar and rzone.de name servers. Performance is moderate with lazy loading and responsive design implemented. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and security headers to reduce technical debt and enhance user trust.
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.
