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. 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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 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';…

  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, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The company holds a strong regional market position as a pioneer in e-mobility since 2008, leveraging its parent company illwerke vkw AG's resources. Their business model centers on providing EV charging infrastructure and tariff plans, targeting private EV owners, businesses with fleets, and residential complexes. The presence of a subsidiary (Elektro Obwegeser GmbH) indicates expansion and resource strengthening. The website content and structure support customer engagement and service delivery, with clear calls to action and support channels. The company benefits from trust signals such as long industry experience, renewable energy commitment, and certifications. Their partnership ecosystem includes the parent company and related energy providers, enhancing market reach and credibility.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, including HSTS and CSP. The integration of Usercentrics CMP ensures GDPR-compliant consent management. No sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content, and no vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of a published security policy or incident response information and lack of a security.txt file indicate areas for improvement in transparency and vulnerability disclosure. The site uses third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and Usercentrics, which should be regularly audited to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from formalized policies and incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and customer trust.
  2. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Enhance website accessibility to meet higher standards for all users.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and dependencies to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Expand contact options for security incidents, such as a dedicated security or abuse email address.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a modern JavaScript stack including Vue.js and jQuery, with Vue Material for UI components. It uses Axios for HTTP requests and integrates Google Tag Manager and Usercentrics for analytics and consent management. The site is responsive with multiple CSS stylesheets targeting different device widths, indicating good mobile optimization. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom-built or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from performance tuning and accessibility enhancements.
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.
