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

TÜV SÜD is a globally recognized enterprise specializing in safety, security, and sustainability solutions across multiple industries including energy, transportation, manufacturing, healthcare, and real estate. With a history spanning over 150 years, the company offers comprehensive services such as testing, inspection, certification, auditing, technical advisory, and training. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, clear navigation, and multi-language support, targeting business clients worldwide. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks including Next.js and React, integrated with Adobe DTM for analytics and OneTrust for cookie consent management. The use of Sitecore CMS indicates a robust content management infrastructure. Performance and mobile optimization are good, with accessibility and SEO features well implemented. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, employs multiple security headers, and integrates consent mechanisms for privacy compliance. However, the absence of explicit privacy policy and terms of service pages, as well as missing WHOIS domain registration data, slightly reduce the overall trust score. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, TÜV SÜD's website demonstrates a strong business credibility and technical maturity, with minor gaps in privacy transparency and domain registration visibility. Strategic improvements in these areas would enhance trust and compliance 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

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 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 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

  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

Business profile

TÜV SÜD holds a strong market position as a leading provider of industrial safety, certification, and sustainability services. Its diversified service portfolio and global reach provide competitive advantages in multiple sectors. The business model focuses on B2B services with revenue streams from testing, certification, advisory, and training. The company targets industries undergoing digital transformation and regulatory compliance challenges, leveraging its long-standing reputation. The partnership ecosystem includes integrations with global standards and certifications. Growth indicators include recent press releases highlighting revenue growth and expanded service offerings. The website's structured data and social media presence support brand visibility and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR principles. No exposed credentials or sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The use of Adobe DTM and OneTrust indicates controlled data collection and privacy management. However, the lack of explicit privacy policy and incident response contact information represents a compliance gap. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file was detected, limiting transparency for security researchers. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by publishing detailed policies and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages prominently linked on the website.
  2. Provide clear contact information for security incidents, including dedicated email addresses such as security@ or abuse@.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize security risks.
  5. Enhance domain registration transparency by ensuring WHOIS data is publicly accessible or providing justification for privacy protection.

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.
