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

adRom Media Marketing GmbH is a well-established Austrian online marketing agency specializing in email marketing, lead generation, display advertising, and digital prospectus solutions. With over 25 years of experience and a large GDPR-compliant database of 45 million addresses, the company serves a broad B2B audience including agencies and enterprises. The website is professionally designed, content-rich, and optimized for SEO and mobile devices, reflecting a mature digital presence. Technically, the site runs on WordPress with Elementor and employs performance tools like WP Rocket, but suffers from critical security weaknesses due to an invalid SSL certificate and lack of modern TLS protocols, which undermines secure HTTPS delivery. Privacy compliance is strong with clear GDPR-aligned policies and cookie consent mechanisms. Contact information and social media presence are transparent and professional. Overall, the site demonstrates high business credibility but requires urgent security improvements 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

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

    • 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"

    • 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 positions itself as a leader in the German-speaking online marketing sector, leveraging proprietary 1st party data and advanced campaign technologies. Its business model focuses on renting email address databases, providing campaign management software, and delivering targeted advertising solutions. The presence of industry certifications and awards, along with partnerships with major brands, indicates a strong market reputation and competitive advantage. The company targets medium to large businesses seeking scalable marketing solutions. The website content and structure support lead generation and client engagement effectively.

Security posture

The security posture is currently weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols, exposing the site to potential interception and trust issues. While some security headers like HSTS and X-Content-Type-Options are present, their effectiveness is limited without proper HTTPS. No known vulnerabilities or malware were detected, but the lack of secure transport is a critical gap. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which could be improved to demonstrate security maturity. The site uses modern tracking and analytics tools with privacy considerations, but the security configuration needs urgent remediation.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and install a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable and configure modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or 1.3) and strong cipher suites.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve SSL performance and security.
  4. Review and enforce HSTS header settings to ensure HTTPS enforcement.
  5. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for optimization. It employs Apache as the web server and uses WP Rocket for caching and performance enhancements. JavaScript libraries include jQuery and various Elementor scripts. Google Analytics is integrated via MonsterInsights, and Leadinfo tracking is also used. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with comprehensive metadata and structured data (JSON-LD). However, performance metrics indicate slow loading times, possibly due to missing SSL and lack of TLS optimizations. The DNS setup uses German nameservers, consistent with the company's location. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but requires security upgrades and performance tuning.
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.
