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

Deutsche Anwaltauskunft operates a German-language online legal information magazine and lawyer referral platform. It provides comprehensive legal content across multiple categories such as life, work, housing, mobility, society, economy, and finance. The platform targets the general public seeking legal advice and lawyer contacts in Germany. Technically, the website is built on the Contao CMS, uses modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery and Usercentrics for consent management, and integrates Matomo for analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and SEO practices. Security-wise, HTTPS is enforced, and consent mechanisms are in place, but explicit security headers and formal security policies are absent. Overall, the site demonstrates a mature digital presence with moderate to good security posture and privacy 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

6 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. 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 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';…

  3. 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

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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention anwaltauskunft.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

The platform holds a strong market position as a trusted source for legal information and lawyer search in Germany. Its business model revolves around providing free legal content and facilitating connections between users and legal professionals. The presence of multiple social media channels and Google site verification enhances its credibility. The site likely generates revenue through advertising and possibly referral fees. The content is professionally curated, targeting a broad audience including individuals and businesses needing legal guidance. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified. The platform's consistent branding and comprehensive content support its medium-sized business classification.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a consent management platform, indicating awareness of privacy and security requirements. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. The security score is moderate, with recommendations to enhance header policies and publish security-related documentation to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a clear privacy policy and terms of service accessible from all pages to improve transparency and compliance.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer support and security incidents.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Contao CMS, a PHP-based open-source content management system, combined with JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.11.3 and Usercentrics for consent management. Matomo analytics is used for user tracking, indicating a preference for privacy-focused analytics. The site loads asynchronously and includes multiple CSS bundles for styling. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, and SEO meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter cards are properly configured. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected, but updating jQuery to a more recent version could improve security and performance.
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.
