Risk levelMedium

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

Agroline Deutschland operates a specialized online marketplace focused on agricultural machinery, spare parts, and related services. With over 23 years in the market and a large user base, it holds a strong position in the German and international agricultural equipment sector. The platform offers extensive listings, dealer directories, and advertising opportunities, targeting agricultural businesses and individuals. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies, integrates multiple analytics and advertising tools, and maintains good performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and basic security headers, though explicit security policies and cookie consent mechanisms are lacking. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and business credible, but could improve privacy compliance and incident response transparency.

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

      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

    • 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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"

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 leverages a multi-domain international presence with partner marketplaces like Autoline and Machineryline, enhancing its ecosystem reach. Its business model centers on facilitating sales and purchases of agricultural machinery and parts, supported by advertising revenue and partner programs. The presence of customer reviews and social media engagement strengthens market trust. The platform's extensive category and product segmentation indicate a mature marketplace catering to diverse agricultural needs. The lack of visible certifications or security policies suggests room for formalizing compliance and security governance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with enforced HTTPS, absence of exposed sensitive data, and use of asynchronous loading for tracking scripts. However, it lacks visible security policies, incident response contacts, and a vulnerability disclosure program, which are important for mature security posture and compliance with regulations like GDPR and NIS2. The missing cookie consent banner is a notable compliance gap. No vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected in the content or WHOIS data. Recommendations include implementing explicit security and privacy policies, cookie consent mechanisms, and security.txt files to enhance transparency and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to ensure GDPR cookie compliance.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies accessible to users.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and disclosure.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Review and tighten referrer policy and other HTTP headers for improved security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom or proprietary CMS with modern front-end technologies including CSS variables and asynchronous JavaScript loading. It integrates multiple third-party analytics and advertising services such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate with room for optimization. No common CMS like WordPress or Joomla detected, indicating a tailored platform. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The technical stack supports a scalable and professional marketplace but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and privacy features.
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.
