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

3 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.

    • 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. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

The company operates in the technology sector focusing on custom software development for enterprise clients. Their business model is service-oriented, delivering bespoke software solutions. The presence of multiple international clients and partnerships, along with certifications and a strong portfolio, indicates a stable market position and growth potential. The company leverages social media and digital marketing tools to enhance visibility. Their partnership ecosystem includes product collaborations such as Trusted Returns and Docwriter.io. The business shows indicators of medium size with consistent branding and professional content supporting credibility.

Security posture

Arkbauer maintains a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect contact forms from spam and abuse. The domain is protected with clientTransferProhibited status, reducing risk of unauthorized transfers. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options represents potential areas for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The lack of published security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by implementing additional technical controls and formal security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to protect DNS integrity and prevent spoofing attacks.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations and improve user transparency.
  4. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and compliance.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are used.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for interactivity, and Font Awesome for icons. Performance optimizations are evident with minified CSS/JS and caching plugins like WP Rocket. The site uses Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking. Mobile optimization is good with responsive layouts and conditional video loading. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with ARIA roles and semantic HTML enhancements. The technical infrastructure is stable and well maintained, though security-related technical debt exists in missing headers and DNSSEC. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and performant user experience.
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.
