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

agrarheute.com is a leading German-language agricultural news portal providing comprehensive coverage on farming, livestock, technology, market prices, and weather. It targets farmers, agribusiness professionals, and stakeholders in the agricultural sector, offering news, market data, guides, and multimedia content. The business model includes advertising and a subscription service for an ad-free experience. Technically, the site is built on Drupal 10 with modern web technologies and integrates multiple third-party services for analytics, advertising, and paywall management. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms, though security headers could be improved. The absence of WHOIS registrant data is a concern but does not outweigh the professional presentation and compliance indicators. Overall, the site is trustworthy and well-positioned in its niche.

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 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 website holds a strong market position as a top European agricultural news source, leveraging partnerships with related agricultural service providers and shops. Its revenue streams include advertising and subscription services. The target audience is primarily German-speaking agricultural professionals. The site demonstrates growth potential through digital subscriptions and diversified content offerings. The partnership ecosystem includes agricultural shops, job portals, and variety guides, enhancing its service portfolio and user engagement.

Security posture

The site exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, GDPR-compliant cookie consent, and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. The extensive use of third-party scripts necessitates regular security audits to mitigate risks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, indicating an opportunity to enhance transparency and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection) to strengthen defense-in-depth.
  2. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact to improve security transparency.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to comply with WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  4. Provide clear and direct contact information on the website to improve business credibility and user trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and advertising networks to minimize potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Drupal 10 CMS, supported by jQuery and various third-party services including Piano.io for paywall and identity management, Cxense for content personalization, and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed by optimizing third-party scripts. The technical infrastructure is modern but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and accessibility improvements.
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.
