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

Azul is a specialty coffee roastery based in Bremen, Germany, focusing on high-quality coffee roasting, retail sales, and coffee education. The website presents a professional and well-structured digital presence built on WordPress, leveraging modern plugins such as WPBakery Page Builder, Slider Revolution, and Borlabs Cookie for cookie consent management. SEO is enhanced with Rank Math, and analytics are conducted via Matomo, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Security posture is good with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented, though explicit security headers and privacy policies are missing. The site is accessible without any WAF or security challenges, and no adult or questionable content is present, making it safe for general audiences. Contact information is primarily via a contact form, with no explicit emails or phone numbers found in the HTML content. WHOIS data is minimal but does not raise suspicion, though more detailed registrant information would improve trust. Overall, Azul's website is a solid representation of a small specialty coffee business with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security best practices.

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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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. 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
      • 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

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

Azul operates in the retail and hospitality sectors, targeting specialty coffee consumers and businesses. Their business model includes direct retail sales, coffee education, and business coffee supply. The website content and structured data indicate a focus on quality, sustainability, and customer engagement. The presence of a dedicated shop subdomain suggests an integrated e-commerce strategy. The company appears to be a small-sized entity with a consistent brand image and good market positioning within the specialty coffee niche in Germany. The use of Matomo for analytics and Borlabs Cookie for consent shows awareness of privacy and data protection requirements, though explicit policies are lacking. The partnership with shop.azul.de is a key part of their sales channel. No suspicious or fraudulent indicators were found.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, uses cookie consent mechanisms, and avoids exposing sensitive data in the HTML. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are recommended to enhance security. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which could be a gap in security readiness. The use of common WordPress plugins requires regular updates to mitigate vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is good but could be strengthened by implementing additional headers, publishing security policies, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure process.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to reduce attack surface.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Add explicit contact information such as company email and phone number to enhance business credibility and user support.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve incident response readiness.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including PHP, jQuery, and popular plugins like WPBakery Page Builder and Slider Revolution. Hosting appears to be provided by Mittwald, a reputable German hosting provider. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices in place. The site uses structured data (JSON-LD) for rich snippets and Open Graph tags for social media integration. Cookie consent is managed via Borlabs Cookie plugin, indicating compliance efforts. No critical technical issues or vulnerabilities were detected in the provided HTML content. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and accessibility compliance.
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.
