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

WIG Wietersdorfer Holding GmbH is a large, family-owned industrial enterprise based in Austria with a 125-year history. The company operates internationally with subsidiaries in multiple countries, focusing on sectors such as cement, lime, GFK and PP pipe systems, and industrial minerals. Their business model is centered on manufacturing and global distribution, targeting industrial and construction markets. The website reflects a mature digital presence with a professional design, clear navigation, and multilingual support. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with the Avada theme and uses common plugins for forms, multilingual content, and cookie management. However, the security posture is weakened by an invalid SSL certificate and lack of modern TLS protocols, which is a critical issue that needs immediate remediation. Privacy compliance is well addressed with comprehensive policies and a robust cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the site demonstrates good business credibility and digital maturity but requires urgent security improvements to protect user data and maintain trust.

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

7 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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 as a diversified industrial manufacturer with a global footprint. Their subsidiaries and partner sites indicate a broad operational scope across continents including Europe, Americas, Africa, and Australia. The business benefits from a consistent internationalization strategy, as evidenced by recent acquisitions and expansion news. Revenue streams are diversified across multiple product lines, with significant sales in GFK pipe systems and cement. The target audience includes B2B clients in construction, infrastructure, and industrial sectors. The website content and structure support these business goals with relevant news, product information, and contact channels. The presence of multilingual options and detailed corporate information enhances their global reach and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website's security posture is currently suboptimal due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate, which prevents secure HTTPS connections. No modern TLS protocols are enabled, and critical security headers like HSTS are missing. While there are no signs of active vulnerabilities or malware, the lack of proper encryption exposes users to potential data interception risks. The site uses standard security practices such as cookie consent and does not expose sensitive data in the HTML. However, the absence of OCSP stapling and session resumption indicates room for improvement in SSL/TLS configuration. The security score is low, and immediate action is recommended to obtain a valid certificate and enable secure protocols to protect both the company and its users.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3 protocols and disable outdated versions to enhance security.
  3. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload options.
  4. Enable OCSP stapling to improve certificate validation performance and security.
  5. Regularly update all plugins, themes, and WordPress core to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  6. Maintain and enhance privacy compliance with clear policies and user consent mechanisms.
  7. Consider adding a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information.
  8. Improve performance metrics to enhance user experience and SEO.
  9. Continue to monitor and audit third-party scripts and tracking tools for privacy impact.
  10. Enhance accessibility features and ensure compliance with relevant standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on an Apache server with DNS managed by A1.net. It uses WordPress 6.8.1 with the Avada theme and several plugins including Contact Form 7, Borlabs Cookie for GDPR compliance, and WPML for multilingual support. The site loads jQuery and other JavaScript libraries for enhanced interactivity. Performance data indicates no measurable load time or resource count, suggesting possible limitations in data collection or caching. The site is mobile optimized and includes accessibility tools such as a toolbar for font resizing and contrast adjustments. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, the lack of a valid SSL certificate and modern TLS support is a significant technical risk. The site uses chunked transfer encoding and has cache-control headers set to max-age=0, indicating no caching. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard for a corporate WordPress site but requires security upgrades and performance optimization.
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.
