The company offers a range of services including managed hosting, cloud infrastructure, backup and replication, business cloud solutions, IT consulting, and domain management. Their market position is focused on providing scalable, flexible, and secure IT services primarily to shops, companies, and agencies within Germany. The website demonstrates a professional and consistent brand presence with clear messaging about their services and compliance with European data protection standards. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using popular plugins such as WPBakery Page Builder and Slider Revolution, with integrations for Matomo analytics and live support chat. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, with good SEO and accessibility basics.

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 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.

Business context

Business profile

8Solutions.de operates in the technology sector, focusing on managed hosting and cloud services with a strong emphasis on GDPR compliance and data security. Their business model targets B2B customers such as shops, companies, and agencies in Germany. The company leverages partnerships with technology providers like Intel, Dell, and cybersecurity firms to enhance their offerings. Revenue streams likely include managed hosting packages, cloud infrastructure services, IT consulting, and domain management. The company demonstrates growth potential through digitalization services and flexible cloud solutions. Their marketing ecosystem includes social media presence and customer testimonials, reinforcing credibility. Operationally, they maintain a small but specialized team delivering customized IT solutions. The company was founded around 2015 and maintains a consistent brand and content strategy aligned with their market niche.

Security posture

The security maturity of 8Solutions.de is moderate to good. The website enforces HTTPS and implements a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. The company emphasizes data protection with German server locations and certified data protection officers. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options indicates potential areas for enhancement. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were found in the website content. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies are not publicly available, which could limit transparency and readiness. Overall, the security culture appears focused on compliance and protection, but could benefit from formalized policies and improved header configurations to mitigate risks further.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance browser security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and plugins to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and improve security posture.

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform utilizing WPBakery Page Builder and Slider Revolution for content management and presentation. It employs JavaScript libraries including jQuery and integrates Matomo for analytics, indicating a preference for privacy-focused tracking. The site uses Google Fonts for typography and includes live support chat scripts. Performance is moderate with caching and minified CSS/JS assets. Mobile optimization is good, ensuring usability across devices. Hosting details are not explicitly stated, but domain nameservers suggest use of domainrobot GmbH services. The technical stack is stable and widely supported, though some legacy scripts and missing security headers suggest opportunities for modernization and 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.
