Risk levelHigh

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

Umdasch Group is a large Austrian manufacturing and retail company specializing in comprehensive lifecycle solutions for building projects. Their subsidiaries include Doka, a global leader in formwork and scaffolding, umdasch The Store Makers focusing on retail space planning, and Industrial Solutions providing specialized industrial scaffolding and safety services. The company emphasizes sustainability and digital innovation as core drivers of their business model. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins and multilingual support, hosted on Azure DNS. However, a critical security weakness is the invalid SSL certificate and lack of TLS protocol support, which undermines secure communications. Privacy compliance is well addressed with GDPR-aligned policies and cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the website is professional and content-rich, but the security posture requires urgent improvement to protect user data and maintain 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.

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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • 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 SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

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 · found on this site
  • 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 Umdasch Group holds a strong market position in construction-related manufacturing and retail sectors, leveraging decades of innovation and a multi-generational family business legacy. Their business model integrates product manufacturing, digital services, and sustainability initiatives, targeting customers globally with a focus on Europe, North America, and Asia. The company operates through well-defined subsidiaries, each specializing in distinct market segments, enhancing competitive advantage. Their growth strategy includes expanding presence in high-growth regions and maintaining leadership in established markets. The company also invests in innovation hubs and ventures to explore new business fields along the building lifecycle. Partnerships and ethical governance are emphasized, with transparent communication channels and career opportunities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates moderate security maturity with several best practices such as security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection), permissions policies, and use of reCAPTCHA v3 on forms. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of support for modern TLS protocols represent critical vulnerabilities that expose users to potential interception and data compromise. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are present, which limits transparency and preparedness. The site does not expose sensitive data or show signs of malware, but the SSL issues significantly reduce overall security confidence. Recommendations include immediate remediation of SSL/TLS configuration, enhanced monitoring, and publication of security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL certificate to enable HTTPS and secure user data.
  2. Enable TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 protocols and disable legacy insecure protocols.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file.
  4. Establish and communicate incident response procedures and contact channels.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins, themes, and server software to mitigate vulnerabilities.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Avada theme and several plugins including Yoast SEO, WPML for multilingual support, and Slider Revolution for rich media content. Hosting is supported by Microsoft Azure DNS infrastructure. The site uses mod_pagespeed for performance optimization but currently shows zero load time and resource count in provided data, indicating possible measurement issues or caching. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. SEO is well implemented with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. However, the invalid SSL certificate and lack of TLS support are critical technical risks that could impact user trust and search engine ranking. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in caching and resource loading.
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.
