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

4 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. 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

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

The Bundesdruckerei-Gruppe holds a strong market position as the largest cross-departmental federal company in Germany focused on digital transformation and security. Its business model revolves around providing secure identification systems, IT security, and digital services to government entities and critical industries such as healthcare and finance. The group includes several subsidiaries like D-Trust GmbH and Maurer, indicating a diversified portfolio. The company targets public administrations, critical infrastructure, and regulated sectors, emphasizing trust and compliance. The website's content and structure support a clear, authoritative brand image with active recruitment and innovation initiatives.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism that respects user privacy. It provides a vulnerability disclosure page and links to a whistleblower system, indicating transparency and readiness for incident handling. However, explicit security headers like X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options are not clearly visible in the provided data, suggesting room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact is noted but not critical. Overall, the security practices align well with the company's role as a government technology provider.

Recommendations

  1. Publish explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against clickjacking and MIME sniffing.
  2. Create and publish a dedicated security policy page outlining frameworks and standards followed (e.g., ISO 27001).
  3. Add a security.txt file at the root domain to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Continue monitoring and updating cookie and privacy compliance mechanisms to maintain GDPR adherence.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS with Bootstrap 5 for responsive design, ensuring excellent mobile optimization and accessibility. It uses eTracker for analytics with minimal user tracking and respects Do Not Track signals. The site loads multiple optimized images with WebP format support and employs modern JavaScript libraries. Performance is moderate, likely due to rich content and media elements. The technical setup is robust with no signs of outdated or vulnerable libraries. Hosting details are not explicit, but the domain uses dedicated name servers consistent with the brand. SEO is well addressed with meta descriptions, canonical links, and hreflang tags for German and English languages.
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.
