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

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Medium

      Privacy policy may not be GDPR compliant

      Privacy policy lacks explicit GDPR compliance elements

      What to do: Update privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR requirements and user rights

  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.

    • Medium

      No MTA-STS Policy

      MTA-STS enforces TLS for email delivery

      What to do: Implement MTA-STS to prevent downgrade attacks

  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.

    • Medium

      SSL Certificate Expires Within 90 Days

      SSL certificate expires in 70 days

      What to do: Plan SSL certificate renewal

    • Medium

      Mixed Content Detected

      1 resources loaded over insecure HTTP

      What to do: Ensure all resources (images, scripts, stylesheets) are loaded over HTTPS

  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Medium

      DNSSEC Not Enabled

      DNSSEC is not configured for this domain

      What to do: Enable DNSSEC to prevent DNS spoofing attacks

      • CAPEC-142
      • RFC 4033
      • RFC 4035

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

AppSphere operates in the B2B technology sector, focusing on digital transformation and IT consulting. Their business model revolves around providing modular IT services tailored to modern workplace needs, cloud security, and AI integration. The company targets medium to large enterprises in Germany and maintains a strong partnership ecosystem, including Microsoft. Their market presence is reinforced by certifications and a portfolio of success stories and client logos. The company emphasizes sustainable transformation by integrating technology, processes, and culture. Growth indicators include active event participation and a dedicated career site.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, ISO 27001 certification, and cookie consent management via Borlabs Cookie. Analytics tools like Matomo and Google Analytics are used responsibly with consent. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of certain security headers (e.g., Content-Security-Policy) suggests room for improvement. Incident response contact information and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not publicly visible, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness. Overall, the security practices align well with industry standards for a technology consulting firm.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated incident response or security contact page/email to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve trust.
  3. Add a security.txt file to formalize vulnerability disclosure policies and improve security communication.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance cookie consent compliance monitoring and provide clear data retention policies to strengthen privacy adherence.

Technical notes

Notes

Hosting is managed via Vautron Rechenzentrum AG with DNS servers at nroute.de. Performance is fast with preloading of fonts and stylesheets. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA attributes are present. Analytics and marketing tools are integrated with user consent, reflecting good privacy practices. The site is well-maintained with no broken links or errors detected. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and incident response visibility to further reduce technical risks.
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.
