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

6 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

  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"

      • 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 holds a strong market position in the electrical distribution and electromobility sectors, leveraging over a century of experience and international presence. Their business model focuses on manufacturing and distributing specialized electrical components and charging solutions, supported by a network of subsidiaries in Europe and the USA. Strategic partnerships, such as with reev and participation in industry events like Power2Drive, enhance their market visibility and innovation credentials. The website content and structure indicate a focus on B2B customers in industrial, construction, and energy markets, with clear product segmentation and service offerings. Growth indicators include recent awards and certifications, as well as modular product lines addressing future energy distribution needs.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, privacy-conscious analytics configuration, and obfuscated email addresses to prevent spam. The presence of a detailed cookie consent mechanism aligns with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure channels limits transparency and readiness perception. Security headers beyond basic ones are not evident, and no known vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The site would benefit from enhanced security documentation and additional HTTP security headers to further harden its posture.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program, including a security.txt file.
  3. Add additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS with Bootstrap and uses modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery and Twitter Typeahead for enhanced user interaction. The hosting is managed via rzone.de, with domain DNS configured accordingly. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in loading compressed assets and improving accessibility. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and canonical URLs. The site is mobile responsive and includes a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. Technical risks are minimal but could be reduced further by implementing additional security headers and formalizing security policies.
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.
