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

Anexia Internetdienstleistungs GmbH operates Backbone Europe, a major network infrastructure project enhancing connectivity and DDoS protection across key European cities. The company provides IT services including software development, hosting, and network solutions primarily targeting enterprise customers. The website reflects a mature digital presence with modern technologies and interactive content, supporting a professional brand image. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS usage and domain transfer protection, but lacks DNSSEC and explicit security headers. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy linked externally but no cookie consent mechanism visible. Overall, the site is trustworthy and business-focused, with room for improvement in security and privacy transparency.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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"

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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

Anexia positions itself as a significant European IT service provider with a focus on network infrastructure and automation. The Backbone Europe project highlights investment in high-capacity, redundant network routes and partnerships with industry leaders like Juniper and Smartoptics. The business model is B2B, serving customers requiring scalable and secure network services. The company leverages case studies and technical content to demonstrate expertise and market presence. Growth indicators include automation of network services and expansion of capacity. The partnership ecosystem includes recognized technology vendors, enhancing credibility.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and domain transfer lock status, indicating basic security hygiene. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS reduces the overall security posture. No published incident response or security policies are available, limiting transparency. The contact forms collect personal data but no explicit mention of data protection or secure handling is visible. No vulnerabilities or malicious content detected. Recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, and publishing security and incident response policies to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and configure security HTTP headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish clear security and incident response policies accessible from the website.
  4. Add a cookie policy and consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by linking to a comprehensive privacy policy and data protection officer contact.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack including jQuery, Bootstrap 4, GSAP, and SVG animations for an engaging user experience. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are used for tracking, indicating moderate user data collection. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design. Hosting appears to be managed by Anexia itself, consistent with the business focus. Performance is moderate with some heavy SVG animations. No CMS detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Technical debt is low but security enhancements are recommended to reduce risk.
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.
