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. 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';…
  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Weidmüller operates in the manufacturing and technology sectors, focusing on B2B industrial connectivity and automation solutions. Its business model revolves around product sales, digital services, and customer support. The company holds ISO certifications and maintains a global presence with multiple subsidiaries and partner sites. The website's content and structure indicate a strong market position with a focus on innovation and customer-centric solutions. The integration of digital platforms like easyConnect and an online shop reflects a strategic approach to digital transformation and customer engagement. The company targets industrial clients requiring reliable and advanced connectivity and automation technologies, positioning itself as a trusted partner in smart industrial connectivity.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of key security headers, and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a publicly accessible security policy or vulnerability disclosure page and incident response contacts limits transparency in security governance. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and OneTrust is managed with consent controls, reducing privacy risks. Overall, the security measures are adequate for a corporate industrial website, but improvements in explicit security communication and incident response readiness are recommended.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and frameworks.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts to mitigate supply chain risks.
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention policies and user privacy controls.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including JavaScript, SVG icons, Google Tag Manager, and OneTrust for cookie management. It leverages the Foundation CSS framework for responsive design and integrates with multiple subdomains for e-commerce and support services. Hosting appears to be with Deutsche Telekom, providing reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site could benefit from explicit CMS identification and performance optimization audits to further enhance user experience and operational efficiency.
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.
