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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

8X4.de operates as a retail consumer goods brand website under Beiersdorf, a large multinational company. The site focuses on product marketing and brand awareness for deodorants, targeting general consumers in Germany. It leverages social media channels for engagement and uses tracking and advertising tools for marketing optimization. The business model is typical for consumer packaged goods brands, emphasizing product discovery and brand loyalty. No direct e-commerce functionality is evident on the homepage. The site’s market position is that of an established brand within a large corporate portfolio, benefiting from strong brand recognition and professional digital infrastructure.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration and integrates a consent management platform to comply with GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, no explicit security headers (such as CSP, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options) were identified in the provided data. There is no public security policy or incident response contact information, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file was found, indicating limited public-facing security communication. Overall, the security posture is good but could be strengthened with additional security best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website employs a modern JavaScript-based front end with libraries such as Modernizr, Hyphenopoly for hyphenation, and Owl Carousel for sliders. Google Tag Manager and Consentmanager.net are used for analytics and consent management, respectively. Hosting is via professional nameservers (Netnames), indicating stable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. No CMS was explicitly detected. The site uses multiple asynchronous scripts for tracking and marketing, which may impact load times but are standard for commercial sites. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with room for optimization in accessibility and security headers.
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.
