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 experience and digital business transformation services. With over 30 years of expertise, Babiel offers strategic consulting, implementation, and managed services focusing on customer and citizen experience management, digital commerce, CRM, and software development. The company targets enterprises and public institutions seeking to enhance their digital presence and operational efficiency. The website is professionally designed, content-rich, and optimized for mobile users, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 11, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The presence of a Usercentrics consent management system indicates a strong commitment to privacy compliance. Performance and accessibility are rated good, with no major technical issues detected. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in security transparency. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The cookie consent mechanism aligns with GDPR requirements, enhancing user privacy protections. Despite the lack of WHOIS data raising some legitimacy concerns, the professional web presence and business affiliations support the domain's authenticity. Overall, Babiel GmbH demonstrates a strong market position in the technology consulting sector with a focus on digital transformation. Strategically, Babiel should enhance its security posture by publishing clear security policies, incident response procedures, and vulnerability disclosure information. Improving WHOIS transparency or domain registration details would also strengthen trust. These steps will support compliance, risk management, and customer confidence in an increasingly security-conscious market.

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

  • Email security: did not complete in this scan.
  • DNS health: 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

Babiel GmbH operates in the technology consulting sector with a focus on digital experience and transformation services. The company benefits from its affiliation with the CONET Group, expanding its service portfolio and market reach. Its client base includes government institutions and large enterprises, indicating a strong reputation and trustworthiness. The business model is B2B, providing end-to-end digital solutions from strategy to managed services. Babiel's competitive advantage lies in its long-standing experience, comprehensive service offerings, and integration within a larger technology group. Growth indicators include active recruitment and a visible marketing presence. The partnership ecosystem includes CONET and technology providers like Databricks. Babiel's operations emphasize innovation, quality, and sustainable digital success.

Security posture

Babiel GmbH's website demonstrates a moderate to strong security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is managed via Usercentrics, indicating GDPR compliance. No security headers were explicitly detected in the HTML content, suggesting potential for enhancement. The absence of a published security policy, incident response contact, or vulnerability disclosure program indicates gaps in transparency and readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found, and forms appear secure with no suspicious input fields. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a corporate website but could be improved by adopting best practices such as security headers, documented policies, and incident response information to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive security policy page accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, including dedicated security or abuse email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve protection.
  5. Clarify domain registration details or improve WHOIS transparency to strengthen legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 11, a modern and widely used CMS, ensuring a robust and scalable platform. The use of Google Tag Manager and Usercentrics indicates integration of advanced analytics and privacy management tools. JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Once.js support interactive features. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. The technical stack is current but could benefit from enhanced security headers and possibly improved hosting transparency. Overall, the infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with room for incremental improvements in security and performance monitoring.
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.
