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.

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The company targets hotel owners, developers, and hospitality professionals, offering end-to-end services from planning to turnkey delivery. Their business model integrates architectural design with general contracting and interior furnishing, supported by an in-house furniture manufacturing unit. The firm operates primarily in Germany with projects also in Austria, Switzerland, and worldwide. Their market position is strong regionally with a focus on quality, sustainability, and emotional design. The website content and testimonials reinforce their credibility and customer satisfaction. The company maintains active social media profiles to engage with clients and prospects.
Security posture
The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration and domain status clientTransferProhibited to prevent unauthorized transfers. Cookie consent is managed via Borlabs Cookie plugin, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could expose DNS to spoofing risks. No dedicated security policy or incident response contacts are published, which is a gap for transparency and preparedness. Security headers beyond domain status are not explicitly detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a corporate website but could be improved with additional measures.
Recommendations
Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
Implement additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities.
Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.

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.
