Security score

77/100

Risk levelLow

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

Babiel GmbH, a subsidiary of the CONET Group, is a well-established German company specializing in digital communication and digital business experiences. With over 30 years of experience, Babiel offers strategic consulting and implementation services to enterprises and public institutions, focusing on digital transformation and customer experience management. The company leverages the broader CONET Group's expertise in areas such as AI, cloud services, and software development to provide comprehensive digital solutions. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 11, employs modern tracking and consent management tools, and demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and uses a cookie consent mechanism but lacks explicit security policies and vulnerability disclosures. The absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy, though the professional content and active business indicators mitigate some risk. Overall, Babiel presents as a credible digital services provider with room for improvement in transparency and security documentation.

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 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

      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 sector with a focus on digital experience and transformation services. Its market positioning is strong due to its long history and integration within the CONET Group, which expands its service portfolio and client reach. The business model is B2B consulting and managed services, targeting large enterprises and government entities. The company maintains active recruitment and social media engagement, indicating growth and operational stability. Partnerships within the CONET ecosystem enhance its competitive advantage. Revenue streams likely include consulting fees, software development contracts, and managed service agreements. Strategic observations suggest Babiel benefits from brand consistency and trust signals but should address domain registration transparency to strengthen credibility further.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and a user consent mechanism for cookies, aligning with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of security headers and published security policies or incident response contacts indicates gaps in security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file limits transparency and may hinder responsible vulnerability reporting. Overall, Babiel's security posture is adequate for its business type but would benefit from enhanced security documentation and header implementation to improve defense-in-depth and stakeholder trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Improve accessibility compliance to ensure inclusivity and meet legal standards.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to resolve legitimacy concerns and improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 11, a modern and widely supported CMS, indicating a current technology stack. It uses Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking, and Usercentrics for GDPR-compliant cookie consent management. The site loads multiple JavaScript libraries including jQuery and Once.js, supporting interactive features. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO meta tags present. No hosting provider information was detected from the HTML content. The site structure is clear with well-organized navigation and content sections. Technical risks include missing security headers and potential reliance on third-party scripts which should be regularly audited. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional digital presence.
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.
