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

Alte Brennerei Oelde operates a coworking space in Oelde, Germany, providing flexible workspaces, meeting rooms, virtual office services, and event spaces tailored to freelancers, startups, and entrepreneurs. The business emphasizes a creative and productive environment with amenities such as lounge areas, kitchens, and a rooftop terrace. Their market position is that of a local coworking and office space provider targeting small businesses and independent professionals. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Elementor page builder, hosted on kasserver.com. The site is moderately performant, mobile-optimized, and uses HTTPS, but lacks advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. The site collects minimal user data via a newsletter signup form and does not appear to use analytics or tracking services, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. From a security perspective, the site benefits from HTTPS and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, it lacks published security policies, incident response contacts, and security headers, which are recommended for improved security posture. There are no detected vulnerabilities or malware indicators. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and suitable for its business purpose. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy compliance (cookie consent), and transparency around security policies would enhance trust and compliance.

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

11 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: SMB

      Port 445 (SMB) is publicly accessible - SMB - Windows file sharing, high risk

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to SMB 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
    • 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)

      • 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 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

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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Alte Brennerei Oelde is positioned as a small local coworking and office space provider in Germany, targeting freelancers, startups, and entrepreneurs. Their business model revolves around workspace rental and event hosting, offering flexible desks, private offices, meeting rooms, virtual office addresses, and event spaces. The company leverages social media channels like Instagram and LinkedIn to engage its community. The website content and structure reflect a focus on community, networking, and professional workspace solutions. There is no indication of a parent company or subsidiaries. The business appears to be in an early or growth stage with a clear niche in the coworking sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communication. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces defense-in-depth. No security or incident response policies are published, and no dedicated security contact channels are provided. The minimal use of tracking and analytics reduces privacy risks. The site uses common CMS and plugins, which require regular updates to mitigate vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small business but can be improved with standard best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, HSTS) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with the Elementor page builder, a widely used and supported CMS and framework combination. It uses jQuery and standard web technologies. Hosting is provided by kasserver.com, indicated by the nameservers. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets from its own domain, with no third-party analytics or advertising scripts detected, which benefits privacy and performance. The site is mobile-optimized and uses responsive design. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. The technical stack is modern enough for the business needs but could benefit from performance optimizations and enhanced security configurations.
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.
