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

Babiel GmbH, a part of the CONET Group, is a well-established German company specializing in digital experience and digital business consulting services. With over 30 years of expertise, Babiel supports enterprises and public institutions in their digital transformation journeys, offering a broad portfolio including digital touchpoints, customer experience management, software development, and cloud services. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides comprehensive information about services, references, and career opportunities. Technically, the site is built on Drupal 11, integrates Google Analytics and Usercentrics for consent management, and employs modern web technologies ensuring good performance and accessibility. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and cookie consent, but lacks some advanced security headers and visible incident response policies. WHOIS data is missing, which slightly impacts domain trustworthiness but does not detract from the professional presentation and business credibility. Overall, Babiel presents as a credible and mature digital consulting firm with a strong market position in Germany.

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

3 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  2. 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.

    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 24 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Babiel operates in the technology and government sectors, targeting medium to large enterprises and public institutions. Their business model is B2B consulting and implementation services focused on digital transformation and customer experience. Being part of the CONET Group enhances their market reach and service breadth. The company leverages a strong partnership ecosystem and maintains active social media channels. Their service offerings are comprehensive, covering consulting, UX design, digital commerce, software development, and cloud services. The website content and references indicate a stable and reputable market presence with a focus on quality and innovation.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a consent management platform to comply with privacy regulations. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. There is no publicly available incident response or security policy page, nor a vulnerability disclosure program. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The security score is moderate, reflecting good baseline practices but room for improvement in transparency and advanced security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider publishing data protection officer contact details to enhance GDPR compliance visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 11, a modern and widely used CMS, indicating a mature technical infrastructure. It uses Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking, and Usercentrics for cookie consent management, reflecting compliance with privacy regulations. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. No hosting provider details were found. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for a professional corporate website, though security header implementation could be improved.
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.
