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

TÜV NORD is a well-established enterprise-level company specializing in safety, certification, and training services across multiple sectors including energy, transportation, real estate, healthcare, and technology. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image with comprehensive content targeting both private and business customers. The technical infrastructure is based on TYPO3 CMS with integration of modern marketing and analytics tools, though performance metrics indicate room for improvement. Security posture is weakened by the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS, which is a critical issue. Privacy compliance is well addressed with consent management and GDPR-aligned policies. Overall, the site is trustworthy but requires urgent security enhancements to protect user data and improve 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.

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 trusted provider of TÜV certifications and safety services with a broad portfolio including vehicle inspections, energy audits, and educational seminars. Its business model combines service delivery with certification and training, targeting both private individuals and corporate clients. The presence of a parent company domain and multiple partner domains indicates a structured corporate ecosystem. The use of advanced marketing and tracking tools suggests a mature digital marketing strategy. However, the lack of direct contact information on the main page may limit immediate customer engagement.

Security posture

The website implements several security headers and a strict Content-Security-Policy, indicating awareness of security best practices. However, the lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols represent a severe vulnerability that undermines all other security measures. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file was found. The site uses secure cookies but lacks advanced SSL features like OCSP stapling and session resumption. Overall, the security posture is moderate but critically impaired by missing HTTPS.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site immediately.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3) and configure strong cipher suites to enhance encryption.
  3. Implement HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload flags to enforce HTTPS usage.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
Technical notes

Notes

The website runs on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and extensible content management system, with integration of Google Maps API, Google Tag Manager, and multiple marketing and analytics platforms such as HubSpot and Mautic. The site uses a comprehensive Content-Security-Policy and multiple security headers, indicating good security hygiene. However, the absence of HTTPS and modern TLS protocols is a major technical deficiency. Performance data is missing, but the presence of many external scripts and tracking tools may impact load times. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and structured data. Technical debt appears moderate with opportunities for modernization in SSL configuration and performance optimization.
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.
