The website serves as a platform for industry professionals to connect, attend specialized congresses, webinars, and forums, and stay informed about current trends and developments. The business model focuses on event management and knowledge transfer, positioning Bauverlag as a significant player in the European construction information market.

The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, though some accessibility features could be enhanced. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization.

Priority findings

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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.

    • 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
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: 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

Bauverlag BV GmbH holds a strong market position as a leading specialist information provider in architecture and construction in Europe. Its event-centric business model generates revenue through organizing industry-specific congresses, summits, and webinars targeted at professionals and decision-makers. The company maintains a broad partnership ecosystem with reputable industry players, enhancing its credibility and reach. The website content and partner affiliations indicate a mature business with a clear focus on networking and knowledge dissemination. Growth indicators include a diverse event calendar and active engagement with the professional community. The company leverages digital marketing tools and tracking to optimize outreach and user engagement.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security maturity level, with HTTPS enforced and a GDPR-compliant consent mechanism in place. The blocking of tracking scripts until user consent is a positive privacy practice. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and security.txt file indicates gaps in transparency and readiness for security incidents. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel introduces some risk, mitigated by consent management. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve protection against common web attacks.
  3. Create and host a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including jQuery and integration of Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. Usercentrics CMP is used for GDPR-compliant cookie consent management, blocking tracking scripts until consent is given. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets, some minified and cached for performance. Google Maps API is integrated but requires user consent to load. The site is moderately performant with good mobile optimization and SEO meta tags including Open Graph for social sharing. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to improve accessibility and implement advanced security headers. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the content.
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.
