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

8 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

  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.

    • 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

  3. 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 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';…

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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

The company operates as a small-sized technology service provider focusing on Drupal CMS solutions. Their business model revolves around offering end-to-end Drupal services including consulting, development, migration, hosting, and support. The presence of service level agreements and detailed references indicates a B2B focus with an emphasis on reliability and long-term client relationships. Their market position is strong within the German Drupal ecosystem, leveraging extensive experience and a portfolio of notable clients. The company maintains active social media channels and a dedicated Drupal blog, enhancing their industry visibility and thought leadership. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, suggesting an independent operation.

Security posture

b-connect demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced site-wide, use of captcha and antibot on contact forms to mitigate spam and automated abuse, and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. The use of Matomo analytics reflects a privacy-conscious approach to user tracking. However, the absence of explicit HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and preparedness. The technology stack includes older jQuery versions which may pose some risk if not regularly updated. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from additional hardening and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance browser security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Upgrade JavaScript libraries such as jQuery to the latest secure versions to reduce vulnerability exposure.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party Drupal modules and dependencies to identify and mitigate risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide more detailed data retention policies to strengthen compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 7 CMS, utilizing a range of contributed modules for functionality such as flexible sliders, cookie compliance, captcha, antibot, and responsive menus. The front-end uses jQuery 1.9 and Flexslider for interactive elements. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes SEO-friendly meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with multiple CSS and JS files loaded but no evident blocking issues. The use of Matomo analytics indicates a preference for open-source and privacy-respecting tools. The site lacks some modern security headers and could benefit from updating legacy libraries. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable and professional but shows some signs of aging technology that should be modernized.
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.
