64/100

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

AVM GmbH operates the website en.fritz.com, providing a comprehensive portfolio of home networking products including routers (FRITZ!Box), mesh Wi-Fi systems, telephony devices, smart home products, and related applications. The company is positioned as a leading technology provider in the home networking and telecommunications sector, targeting consumers and small businesses seeking reliable and user-friendly Internet connectivity solutions. The website content is professionally curated, with clear navigation and detailed product information, supporting AVM's market presence and brand recognition. Technically, the website is built on the TYPO3 CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Slick Slider for enhanced user experience. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, contributing to a positive digital maturity profile. Analytics are implemented via Piwik (Matomo), reflecting a moderate level of user tracking balanced with privacy considerations. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data in its HTML content. However, explicit security headers and published security policies or incident response procedures are not evident, representing areas for improvement. The absence of vulnerability disclosure mechanisms or security.txt files limits transparency in security communications. Overall, the website is trustworthy, safe, and professionally maintained, with no indications of adult or questionable content. The WHOIS data for the subdomain en.fritz.com is unavailable, which is expected as it is a subdomain; the main domain fritz.com is a well-established brand owned by AVM GmbH. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and establishing vulnerability disclosure channels to strengthen security posture and stakeholder trust.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. 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

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

AVM GmbH holds a strong position in the home networking technology market, leveraging a broad product range that includes routers, mesh Wi-Fi, telephony, and smart home devices. The business model centers on product sales complemented by software applications for device management. The company targets a broad consumer base and small business segment, emphasizing ease of use and technological innovation. AVM's partnership ecosystem includes dedicated business portals and regional subdomains, supporting localized marketing and sales efforts. Growth indicators include continuous product updates and active engagement through news and guides on the website. The company maintains a consistent brand image and professional online presence, reinforcing competitive advantages in quality and user experience.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and no visible exposure of sensitive information. The use of secure forms and absence of vulnerable libraries in the HTML content further support security integrity. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces defense-in-depth. No public security policy or incident response contact information is provided, which could hinder effective communication during security events. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file limits transparency and community engagement in security matters. Compliance with GDPR is indicated through privacy and cookie policies, but explicit references to security frameworks or certifications are missing. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from enhanced security governance and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and provide a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting and community trust.
  4. Enhance cookie consent mechanisms with detailed information on data retention and third-party sharing to improve privacy compliance.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities and maintain security hygiene.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a robust and scalable content management system suitable for enterprise-grade websites. It employs modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Slick Slider to deliver interactive and responsive user experiences. The site includes well-structured meta tags and Open Graph properties for SEO and social media integration. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts and compressed CSS/JS assets. Mobile optimization and accessibility features are well implemented, supporting a broad user base. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the HTML content. Opportunities exist to improve technical security configurations and to enhance performance monitoring and optimization.
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.
