The company offers a range of services including consulting, development, marketing, and additional support services. It targets businesses looking to adapt to digital disruption and improve operational efficiency through technology. The company maintains multiple offices across Germany, Austria, Ukraine, and Turkey, indicating a medium-sized international presence. Technically, the website is built on WordPress CMS with modern technologies such as .Net Core, Angular, ElasticSearch, and various databases. The site is SEO optimized using Yoast SEO and includes a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. Performance and mobile optimization are good, though accessibility is basic. The technical infrastructure supports a professional digital presence aligned with the company's business model. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS and uses CAPTCHA on its contact form to mitigate spam. However, it lacks explicit security headers and does not publish a vulnerability disclosure or incident response policy. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is strong with a comprehensive GDPR policy and cookie consent. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional image with good content quality and technical implementation. Security posture is solid but could be improved with additional headers and published policies. The business credibility is supported by clear company information and multiple office locations. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing incident response contacts, and adding a vulnerability disclosure policy to further strengthen 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

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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

artcom venture GmbH operates in the technology sector focusing on digital transformation consulting and development services. Its market positioning is as a partner for businesses seeking to leverage digital technologies and data strategies to remain competitive. The company’s business model includes consulting, software development, marketing, and service support, targeting e-commerce, communication, and other industries. The presence of proprietary products like BitBox Online ERP and Kaizen GUI for ElasticSearch indicates product development capabilities alongside services. The company’s multi-location footprint across Europe and Ukraine suggests a strategy to leverage diverse talent pools and regional markets. The website content and structure reflect a professional approach aimed at medium-sized businesses and enterprises undergoing digital transformation. Partnerships and ecosystem details are limited but the use of multiple platforms and technologies indicates a broad technical competence.

Security posture

The security posture of artcom-venture.de is moderate to strong. The site uses HTTPS exclusively, ensuring encrypted communications. The presence of a cookie consent mechanism with opt-in/out functionality demonstrates GDPR compliance and user privacy respect. The contact form includes CAPTCHA to prevent automated spam submissions. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, which limits transparency and readiness perception. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the site follows good security practices but could improve by implementing recommended HTTP headers and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish an incident response contact or security policy page to improve transparency and readiness for security incidents.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 with PHP and JavaScript as core technologies. It uses Yoast SEO for search engine optimization and Contact Form 7 with CAPTCHA for form handling.

The site is mobile optimized and has good SEO metadata including JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The site uses multiple fonts and CSS for styling and includes prefetching for performance optimization. Overall, the technical implementation is modern and supports the business goals effectively, though there is room for improvement in accessibility and security headers.
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.
