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

Brauerei C. & A. Veltins GmbH & Co. KG operates a supplier-focused website emphasizing sustainable procurement and strong partnerships. The company is a historic and modern private brewery based in Germany, with a well-established market position in premium beer manufacturing. The website serves as a portal for suppliers, providing downloadable compliance documents and contact information primarily via email. Technically, the site uses basic modern web technologies such as Modernizr and CSS, with no advanced frameworks detected. The site is moderately optimized for mobile and accessibility but lacks cookie consent mechanisms and visible security headers. Security posture is adequate with no visible vulnerabilities, but improvements are recommended in security headers and incident response transparency. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with GDPR, though it lacks some advanced privacy and security features.

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

8 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

  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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

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 is positioned as a leading private brewery with a strong focus on sustainability and supplier collaboration. Its business model centers on manufacturing and distributing premium beer products while maintaining high environmental and ethical standards. The website targets suppliers and partners, providing them with necessary compliance documentation and contact channels. The company benefits from membership in the BME Code of Conduct, enhancing its compliance and trustworthiness. The lack of phone or physical address on this site suggests a focus on digital communication via email for procurement. The downloadable resources indicate a mature procurement process and a commitment to regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with no evident vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The absence of Google Analytics tracking (commented out) aligns with GDPR compliance efforts. However, the lack of security headers and cookie consent mechanisms are gaps that should be addressed. No incident response or security policy information is provided, which limits transparency. The domain registration is consistent and trustworthy, with no privacy protection masking registrant details. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved with standard best practices and enhanced transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and cookie policy to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  3. Publish an incident response policy or contact channel for security issues to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Verify and enforce HTTPS across the entire site to ensure secure communications.
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a simple technology stack with Modernizr for feature detection and CSS for styling. The presence of commented-out Google Analytics indicates privacy-conscious design. The site appears to be built on TYPO3 CMS or a similar platform based on class naming conventions. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization indicators. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic but functional. The site lacks advanced SEO features and structured data such as JSON-LD or Open Graph tags. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the provided data. Overall, the technical implementation is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced SEO and accessibility features.
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.
