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

Auxxo is a specialized venture capital fund focusing on pre-seed and seed stage investments in female (co-)founded startups across Europe. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image, targeting female entrepreneurs seeking early-stage funding. The technical infrastructure is based on WordPress CMS with modern plugins such as Yoast SEO and Usercentrics for cookie consent, hosted on German servers. While the site is well-designed and mobile-optimized, it lacks explicit privacy and terms of service pages, as well as visible contact information, which impacts its privacy compliance and business credibility scores. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but could be improved by adding security headers and publishing security policies.

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

5 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. Network security

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

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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.

Breach exposure

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention auxxo.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for auxxo.de 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

Auxxo positions itself as a niche early-stage investor supporting female-founded startups, which is a growing and socially impactful market segment. The business model revolves around venture capital investments, likely generating revenue through equity stakes in startups. The website content and structure suggest a small but focused organization with a clear target audience in Europe. The absence of detailed company registration or contact data limits transparency but does not necessarily indicate illegitimacy. The use of Usercentrics indicates awareness of GDPR compliance requirements. No partnerships or subsidiaries are explicitly mentioned.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism, indicating baseline security and privacy awareness. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces protection against common web attacks. No security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found, which limits the organization's transparency and readiness for security incidents. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved with standard best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to enhance legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Add visible and verified contact information including email and phone to improve business credibility.
  3. Implement standard security headers to protect against common web vulnerabilities.
  4. Develop and publish a security policy and incident response contact details to demonstrate security maturity.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform with up-to-date plugins such as Yoast SEO for search engine optimization and Usercentrics for cookie consent management. The site is mobile responsive and uses modern font loading techniques and SVG graphics for performance and visual appeal. Hosting is provided by rzone.de, a German hosting provider, consistent with the domain's country. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. Accessibility features are basic but present. The site lacks advanced security headers and detailed metadata for enhanced security and compliance. SEO is well supported by Yoast plugin and meta tags. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy features.
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.
