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

Aulinger Rechtsanwälte und Notare is a large full-service economic law firm based in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, offering comprehensive legal and notarial services to corporations, public sector entities, and private individuals. The firm emphasizes expertise across a broad range of legal fields, supported by over 50 legal professionals. Their website is professionally designed using TYPO3 CMS, with media assets hosted on Amazon S3, and includes a robust cookie consent mechanism via Cookiebot, reflecting a commitment to privacy compliance. However, no explicit privacy policy or terms of service pages were detected in the provided content. The absence of publicly available WHOIS data is consistent with EURid's privacy policies for .eu domains, and the firm's privacy protection is typical for legal service providers.

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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

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 · found on this site
  • 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.

Breach exposure

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention aulinger.eu, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for aulinger.eu right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

The firm positions itself as a leading regional law firm with a strong focus on economic law, serving diverse client segments including large corporations, public entities, and private clients. Their business model is centered on full-service legal and notarial offerings, with specialization in areas such as labor law, data protection, M&A, and insolvency. The website content and navigation are well-structured, supporting client engagement and information dissemination. The firm leverages partnerships with trusted service providers like Cookiebot for compliance and uses modern web technologies. No direct contact details or social media presence were found, which may limit direct client outreach via the website.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism, indicating baseline security and privacy awareness. However, no explicit security headers were detected in the HTML content, and no security policy or incident response information is published. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files. The site appears free of visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Recommendations include implementing standard HTTP security headers, publishing security policies, and enhancing accessibility compliance. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved to align with best practices for professional service websites.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  3. Add a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and widely used content management system, indicating a stable and scalable infrastructure. Media assets are served from Amazon S3, suggesting use of cloud hosting for performance and reliability. The site includes modern responsive design elements and a cookie consent mechanism via Cookiebot, supporting GDPR compliance. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. No broken elements or errors were detected in the provided content. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from additional security hardening and accessibility improvements.
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.
