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

Baufragen Software GmbH is a specialized software provider focused on the construction industry, offering platforms such as Baufragen.de and Bauspot.de that serve as expert knowledge bases and social media platforms for construction professionals. The company targets a broad audience including architects, planners, craftsmen, real estate professionals, and building authorities, positioning itself as a key player in digital transformation within the construction sector. Founded in 2016 and based in Germany, the company maintains a professional online presence with over 270,000 users engaged in its digital community. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including jQuery, Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant cookie consent, and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The site is hosted by Cronon GmbH and uses HTTPS, ensuring secure communications. While the site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, there is room for improvement in accessibility and security headers implementation. From a security perspective, the site benefits from HTTPS and a robust cookie consent mechanism but lacks visible security policies or incident response information. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected. The WHOIS data aligns well with the business claims, indicating a legitimate and consistent domain registration. Overall, Baufragen Software GmbH presents a trustworthy and professional digital footprint with good compliance to privacy regulations and a solid technical foundation. Strategic improvements in security headers, incident response transparency, and contact information visibility could further enhance trust and security posture.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

  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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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.

Business context

Business profile

Baufragen Software GmbH operates in the technology sector with a niche focus on the construction industry. Its business model revolves around developing and distributing software solutions tailored for construction professionals, supported by community platforms that foster knowledge sharing and networking. The company’s competitive advantage lies in its specialized expertise, established user base, and commitment to innovation and customer proximity. Revenue streams likely include software licensing, subscriptions, and platform services. The company’s partnership ecosystem includes integration with major analytics and marketing providers like Google and Cookiebot. Growth indicators include a large user base and continuous product development. The company maintains a clear brand identity and consistent messaging aligned with its mission and values.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism via Cookiebot, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a potential area of risk. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The lack of published security policies or incident response contacts suggests limited transparency in security governance. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could be strengthened by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and establishing clear incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and a dedicated security policy page to provide transparency and facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  4. Add clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers on the website to improve user trust and support.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are in use and maintain compliance with privacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern but relatively simple technology stack centered around jQuery 3.6.0, Cookiebot for cookie management, and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The hosting provider is Cronon GmbH, a reputable German hosting company. The site is served over HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring secure data transmission. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, particularly in loading times and accessibility features. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements and clear navigation. SEO is well addressed with appropriate meta tags and structured content. There is no evidence of a CMS from the provided data, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Opportunities exist to modernize the stack by adopting newer frameworks and enhancing accessibility 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.
