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

    • 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

  2. 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"

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

Vetter GmbH operates in the manufacturing sector, focusing on specialized pneumatic equipment for emergency and industrial applications. Its business model revolves around product manufacturing, global distribution through a network of dealers, and value-added services such as training and inspection. The company targets emergency responders and industrial clients globally, leveraging its long history and market leadership. The website indicates active engagement with the market through trade fairs and events, suggesting growth and strong industry presence. The lack of detailed contact information on the website may indicate a preference for dealer-based customer interaction. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, suggesting an independent medium-sized enterprise.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is properly configured, and a cookie consent mechanism is in place, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of a published privacy policy, terms of service, security policy, and incident response contacts limits transparency and compliance completeness. No security headers were detected in the provided data, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analysis. The use of Matomo analytics suggests a preference for privacy-friendly tracking. Overall, the security posture is adequate but would benefit from enhanced documentation and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve privacy compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and display a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and readiness.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen web security.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance contact information visibility to improve business credibility and user engagement.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS using the Helix Ultimate framework and Bootstrap 5, ensuring a modern and responsive design. It incorporates jQuery and Font Awesome for UI elements and icons. Matomo analytics is used for tracking, reflecting a privacy-conscious approach. Hosting appears to be with your-server.de, a German hosting provider, consistent with the company's location. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. Accessibility features are basic, and SEO is adequately addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site uses cookie consent scripts from CookieFirst, indicating compliance efforts. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced accessibility.
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.
