Risk levelHigh

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

ahlene medien is a small TYPO3-focused web agency based in Münster, Germany, specializing in web presence, relaunch, web development, content migration, and updates. The website is currently under maintenance, displaying a professional placeholder message and providing a secure login form for customers to access a ticket system. The technical infrastructure is based on TYPO3 CMS with modern frontend technologies such as Bootstrap and Vite for asset management. Hosting is managed via agenturserver nameservers, consistent with the agency's profile. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS usage and CSRF protection on forms, but lacks explicit security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. Privacy compliance is basic, with a privacy policy linked on the contact page but no cookie banner detected. Overall, the site is functional but minimal in content due to ongoing updates.

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

9 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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"

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 · found on this site
  • 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.

Add-on

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 operates as a specialized TYPO3 agency targeting businesses needing customized CMS solutions, primarily in the Münster region. Their business model revolves around providing tailored web development and CMS migration services. The market position is niche but professional, leveraging TYPO3's open-source framework. No direct contact emails or phone numbers are publicly listed, relying on a contact page and ticket system for client communication. The absence of social media links and limited external partnerships suggests a focused but small-scale operation. The company demonstrates consistent branding and a clear service offering, though growth indicators and parent/subsidiary relationships are not evident.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and includes a secure login form with CSRF tokens, indicating awareness of basic security practices. However, the lack of HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, and no security certifications are visible. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms may pose GDPR compliance risks. No suspicious or malicious content was detected. The security score is moderate, with recommendations to enhance header configurations, publish security policies, and implement cookie consent to improve compliance and protection.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen security posture.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with GDPR requirements.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Enhance website content beyond maintenance mode to improve user engagement and SEO.
  5. Regularly audit SSL/TLS configuration and update CMS and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust open-source content management framework, with frontend technologies including Bootstrap for responsive design and Vite for asset bundling. The site is hosted on servers indicated by agenturserver nameservers, suggesting a regional hosting provider. Performance is moderate with compressed CSS and JS assets. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic. SEO is supported by meta tags and canonical URLs but could be improved with richer metadata and structured data. The site currently lacks advanced analytics or tracking tools, indicating minimal data collection. Technical debt appears low but the site is in a maintenance state, limiting full assessment.
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.
