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. 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

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 company targets B2B customers seeking verified business contact data in Germany and Austria, positioning itself as a reliable source for high-quality business addresses. Its competitive advantage lies in the scale of its database, creditworthiness checks, and compliance with data protection laws. Revenue streams are primarily from address list sales via an online shop. The partnership with bedirect-online.de suggests a broader corporate ecosystem. The website's content and structure support lead generation and customer engagement, with promotional offers like a 10% new customer discount. The business model is straightforward, focusing on data sales with a strong emphasis on legal compliance and user trust.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a reputable cookie consent management system (Cookiebot), ensuring GDPR compliance in data collection and tracking. No critical security headers were detected in the HTML content, indicating room for improvement in security hardening. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which is a gap in transparency and preparedness. Analytics and marketing scripts are loaded asynchronously, reducing performance impact but increasing the attack surface. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from enhanced header policies and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities and update accordingly.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Notes

The website is built on the Pimcore CMS platform and uses Bootstrap for responsive design. It integrates modern JavaScript libraries and asynchronous loading for performance optimization. Hosting is managed by Arvato Systems, as indicated by the nameservers. The site includes comprehensive cookie consent management via Cookiebot and uses Google Tag Manager for analytics deployment. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and canonical links. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected, indicating a well-maintained infrastructure.
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.
