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

5 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

  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 operates in the manufacturing and energy sectors with a B2B business model focused on industrial connectivity and automation. Its market position is solid, supported by a wide range of products and digital tools like the Weidmüller Configurator. The presence of multiple country-specific sites and language options indicates a broad international footprint. The company leverages partnerships and digital services to enhance customer engagement and operational efficiency. Revenue streams likely include product sales, assembly services, and digital engineering support. The website content and structure suggest a focus on innovation and customer-centric solutions, with growth potential in IIoT and smart factory technologies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms in place. However, it lacks visible security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure information, which are important for transparency and trust. No security headers were detected in the HTML content, and no known vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The use of Google Tag Manager and OneTrust indicates responsible data handling practices. To improve, the company should publish a dedicated security policy, incident response contacts, and consider implementing security.txt for vulnerability reporting. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced with more explicit security governance disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and configure security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Continue maintaining GDPR compliance and enhance transparency around data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based front end with integration of Google Tag Manager and OneTrust for analytics and cookie consent respectively. The search functionality is powered by Solr, indicating a robust search infrastructure. The site is mobile optimized with responsive images and accessible navigation. Performance is moderate, with some room for optimization. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. The site uses SVG icons and preloads fonts for better performance. Technical risks are minimal, but adding security headers and improving accessibility features could further enhance the technical quality.
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.
