Low risk. 2 critical or high findings in Security headers and SSL/TLS.

Security score

80/100

Risk levelLow

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

Weidmüller is a well-established Swiss company specializing in industrial connectivity and automation solutions. With a history spanning over 175 years, it holds a strong market position in manufacturing and supplying electrical connection technology, electronics, and automation software primarily for industrial clients. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive product catalogs, solution offerings, and digital tools such as configurators and e-commerce integration. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager and OneTrust for privacy compliance, and it is optimized for mobile and accessibility standards. Security posture is robust with HTTPS, security headers, and no visible vulnerabilities, although a dedicated security policy or vulnerability disclosure page is absent. Overall, the domain registration and WHOIS data align well with the company's identity, supporting high legitimacy and trust. Strategic recommendations include publishing explicit security policies and incident response contacts to enhance transparency and trust further.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

  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.

    • 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 operates a B2B business model targeting industrial manufacturers, system integrators, and electrical engineers. Its competitive advantage lies in a broad portfolio of connectivity and automation products, backed by digital engineering tools and a global support network. Revenue streams include product sales via e-commerce, custom assemblies, and digital services. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem evident from multiple localized domains and service portals. Growth indicators include investment in Industrial IoT, edge computing, and digital service platforms. The website's multilingual support and country-specific portals demonstrate a global market approach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and cookie consent management compliant with GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of a public security policy or vulnerability disclosure mechanism limits transparency. Incident response contact information is not explicitly provided, which could hinder timely reporting of security issues. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by adding dedicated security documentation and clear incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  3. Provide explicit incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email).
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by linking certifications and compliance documents on the website.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom or proprietary CMS with a modern tech stack including JavaScript frameworks, Google Tag Manager, and OneTrust for cookie management. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices such as canonical URLs and Open Graph metadata. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement in load times. Hosting provider details are not explicit but the site uses secure HTTPS with strong SSL configuration. Technical risks are minimal, but modernization opportunities include adopting more advanced performance optimization and publishing technical documentation for transparency.
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.
