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

52°Nord | Paris-Berlin is a small German media production company specializing in film and media content including interviews, thematic films, image films, fiction, and portraits. Their website is built on WordPress and showcases their services and content with a focus on the German-speaking audience. The company provides clear contact information including a physical address in Berlin, phone number, and email, enhancing their business credibility. Technically, the website uses an older WordPress version (5.3.20) with plugins such as MetaSlider and Vipers Video Quicktags, and includes jQuery 1.12.4. The site is hosted via domainfactory GmbH, a reputable registrar and hosting provider. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices but lacks advanced accessibility and SEO features. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal user tracking. From a security perspective, the website uses HTTPS but lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options. There is no visible cookie consent mechanism or privacy policy compliance banner, which is a GDPR compliance gap. No incident response or security policy information is provided. The site does not expose sensitive data or show signs of vulnerabilities but uses an outdated jQuery version which could pose risks. Overall, the website is safe with no adult or questionable content, and the domain registration is consistent with the business profile. Recommendations include implementing security headers, updating JavaScript libraries, adding cookie consent and privacy compliance mechanisms, and improving accessibility and SEO to enhance security posture and user 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

8 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"

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 media sector with a niche focus on film and media production in Germany. Their business model revolves around content creation and publishing, targeting a general audience interested in films and media. The website content and structure suggest a small-sized enterprise with a localized market presence. The lack of extensive marketing or analytics tools indicates a modest digital marketing approach. The company maintains a professional image with consistent branding and clear contact details, but lacks visible certifications or trust badges. No partnerships or subsidiaries are indicated, suggesting independent operation. Growth opportunities could include expanding digital presence and compliance maturity.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, the absence of security headers reduces protection against common web attacks such as clickjacking and MIME sniffing. The use of an outdated jQuery version is a potential vulnerability vector. No visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are present, which limits transparency and preparedness. GDPR compliance is partial due to the presence of a privacy policy but absence of cookie consent mechanisms. No analytics or tracking scripts reduce privacy risks but also limit user behavior insights. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small media site but requires improvements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and cookie policy to comply with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  3. Update jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to their latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  4. Develop and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and preparedness.
  5. Enhance website accessibility and SEO features to improve user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 5.3.20 with plugins such as MetaSlider and Vipers Video Quicktags, using jQuery 1.12.4 and Font Awesome 4.1.0. The hosting provider is domainfactory GmbH, a reputable German registrar and hosting company. The site loads with moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. No advanced SEO or accessibility features are detected. The site lacks modern security headers and uses outdated JavaScript libraries, which could pose security risks. No analytics or tracking scripts are present, indicating minimal data collection. The site structure is clear with a consistent design and navigation. Overall, the technical implementation is functional but could benefit from modernization and security hardening.
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.
