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

ACP-Gruppe is a well-established IT solutions provider operating primarily in Germany and Austria, specializing in hybrid cloud, modern workplace, network security, and digital solutions. The company positions itself as a market leader with a strong partner ecosystem including major technology vendors. The website is professionally designed, content-rich, and targets business customers seeking digital transformation services. Technically, the site is built on HubSpot CMS with modern JavaScript libraries and integrates marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager and HubSpot Analytics. However, the security posture is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols, which poses significant risks for secure communications. Privacy and cookie policies are present and appear GDPR compliant, but no explicit security or incident response policies are found. WHOIS data aligns with the business claims, showing consistent registration without privacy protection but lacking domain locks. Overall, the website is credible and professional but requires urgent improvements in SSL/TLS security to protect user data and enhance 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

6 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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

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

ACP-Gruppe operates in the technology sector, focusing on IT infrastructure and digital transformation services. Their business model revolves around providing tailored IT solutions including cloud services, workplace modernization, network security, and managed services. The company targets medium to large enterprises in Germany and Austria, leveraging partnerships with leading technology vendors to enhance service offerings. The website content and partner logos indicate a strong market position and a comprehensive service portfolio. The presence of a webshop, career pages, and news/events sections suggests a mature business with active customer engagement and talent acquisition strategies. The domain registration and DNS setup are consistent with the company's geographic focus and branding, supporting legitimacy and operational transparency.

Security posture

The website's security posture is currently weak due to the lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols, which are critical for secure HTTPS communication. Although security headers such as HSTS and Content-Security-Policy are present, HSTS is not effectively enabled. Cookies are set with secure attributes, indicating some security awareness. No known vulnerabilities like Heartbleed or POODLE are detected. The absence of OCSP stapling and session resumption reduces SSL performance and security. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are found on the site, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance. Overall, the site risks user data exposure and trust issues until SSL/TLS is properly configured.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL certificate to enable HTTPS and secure user data.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or 1.3) and disable deprecated ones.
  3. Activate HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload options to enforce HTTPS.
  4. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve SSL performance.
  5. Publish explicit security and incident response policies including contact channels.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses HubSpot CMS platform with JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.11.2, Typed.js for text animations, and Splide.js for carousels. Google Tag Manager is integrated for analytics and marketing. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets from the acp-gruppe.com domain and HubSpot CDN. Hosting is via Cloudflare, providing caching and edge services. Performance metrics indicate no load time or resource data, suggesting potential monitoring gaps. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and language selection features. Accessibility is basic with some screen-reader text elements. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph, and structured JSON-LD data for video content. Overall, the technical stack is modern but could benefit from performance optimization and updated libraries.
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.
