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

Baufragen Software GmbH operates a specialized online platform, Baufragen.de, offering free expert consultation in the construction sector via chat. The platform connects users such as architects, planners, craftsmen, and housing companies with over 200 experts across more than 40 competence areas. This unique service aims to streamline research and planning processes in construction projects by providing direct access to product and planning advice online. The company positions itself as an independent, transparent, and cost-free service provider within the German construction industry. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including JavaScript and Vue.js frameworks, with responsive design optimized for mobile devices. The hosting is managed via rzone.de nameservers, indicating a professional hosting environment. SEO and accessibility are adequately addressed, though some improvements could be made in accessibility features and performance optimization. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and includes CSRF tokens, but lacks visible security headers and explicit cookie consent mechanisms. No direct contact information or security policies are prominently displayed, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance. WHOIS data aligns well with the business identity, supporting legitimacy. Overall, Baufragen.de presents a professional and trustworthy platform with good content quality and business credibility. However, enhancements in privacy compliance, security headers, and contact transparency would strengthen its security posture and user trust.

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

6 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. 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"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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

Baufragen Software GmbH targets a niche market within the German construction industry, providing an innovative online consultation service that differentiates it from traditional advisory models. Its competitive advantage lies in the breadth of expert coverage and the convenience of chat-based interaction. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on free user access while likely monetizing through manufacturer partnerships and software integrations. The company maintains a moderate size with a clear focus on the German market and construction-related sectors. Partnerships with software configurators and manufacturer tools indicate a growing ecosystem. The presence on multiple social media platforms supports brand visibility and customer engagement. Growth potential exists through expanding expert networks and enhancing digital services.

Security posture

The current security maturity of Baufragen.de is moderate. The use of HTTPS and CSRF tokens indicates baseline security awareness. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. Lack of explicit privacy and security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests gaps in compliance and transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. To improve, the company should implement comprehensive security headers, publish clear security policies, and establish incident response channels to align with GDPR and NIS2 requirements. This will reduce risk and enhance user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR cookie regulations.
  3. Publish detailed security and incident response policies accessible from the website footer.
  4. Provide clear company contact information including emails and phone numbers for support and security incidents.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web standards with HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and Vue.js framework components. It is hosted on rzone.de infrastructure, which is a professional hosting provider. The site is mobile-optimized and includes SEO-friendly meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement in loading speed and accessibility compliance. The presence of CSRF tokens indicates attention to form security. However, the lack of visible security headers and cookie consent mechanisms points to technical debt in security and privacy compliance. Modernization efforts should focus on enhancing security configurations and improving accessibility standards to reduce operational risks.
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.
