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

Bachmann Design & IT is a small, local IT service provider based in Aachen, Germany, with over 20 years of experience. They offer a comprehensive range of IT services including IT consulting, network and internet solutions, telephony systems, Microsoft server and 365 services, data backup, and remote support. Their market position is that of a trusted regional partner for businesses and private clients seeking tailored IT solutions. The website is professionally designed, well-structured, and targets German-speaking audiences primarily in the Aachen region. Technically, the website uses a modern but straightforward technology stack including jQuery, Swiper.js for slideshows, Leaflet.js for maps, and PhotoSwipe for image galleries, running on the Contao CMS platform. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, with good SEO and accessibility basics. No major technical issues or broken elements were detected. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries. However, it lacks some security best practices such as security headers and explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a privacy and cookie policy present, but no active cookie consent mechanism is implemented. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing business credibility. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional image with strong business credibility and good technical implementation. The main areas for improvement include enhancing privacy compliance with cookie consent, adding security headers, and publishing incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to strengthen security posture and regulatory compliance.

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

7 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

    • 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.

    • 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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

Bachmann Design & IT operates as a specialized IT service provider focusing on small to medium enterprises and private clients in the Aachen region. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing local presence, personalized IT consulting, and partnerships with recognized technology vendors such as ESET, 3CX, Dell, and Lenovo. Revenue streams likely derive from IT service contracts, consulting, hardware and software sales, and managed services. The company maintains a strong partner ecosystem, which supports their service offerings and credibility. Growth indicators include a diverse service portfolio and active social media engagement. Strategic observations suggest focusing on expanding digital marketing and enhancing compliance to capture more market share and build trust.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The website uses HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data, which is fundamental. However, the absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies indicate gaps in security governance. GDPR compliance is partially met with privacy and cookie policies but lacks active consent mechanisms. No signs of vulnerabilities or malware were detected in the content. The business impact of these gaps is moderate, potentially affecting regulatory compliance and user trust. Improving these areas would enhance the security culture and readiness for incident handling.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish an explicit incident response policy and provide dedicated contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses) to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to ensure full GDPR compliance and user privacy control.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and CMS components to prevent vulnerabilities and maintain security hygiene.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Contao CMS and leverages popular JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Swiper.js, Leaflet.js, and PhotoSwipe for enhanced UI/UX features. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices, with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with no major bottlenecks detected. The use of modern image formats (WebP) and lazy loading improves load times. However, there is room for improvement in accessibility features and implementation of security headers. The technical infrastructure appears stable and suitable for the business scale, but modernization opportunities exist to enhance security and 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.
