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

The website www.berufsausweis.com serves as an informational platform for the EuropeanExpertCard, a unified professional identification card for experts and appraisers across Europe. It is closely associated with the Deutsche Gutachter und Sachverständigen Verband e.V. (DGuSV), which acts as the primary issuing body in Germany. The site targets professionals in the appraisal and expert evaluation sector, aiming to facilitate cross-border recognition of qualifications within the EU. The business model is based on membership and fee-based issuance of the card, positioning itself as a niche but important player in the European professional certification landscape. Technically, the website employs standard web technologies including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, with cookie consent managed via Usercentrics. The site is accessible without any WAF or security challenges, uses HTTPS, but lacks advanced security headers and comprehensive mobile optimization. SEO and accessibility are basic but functional. No CMS or hosting provider details are evident from the source. From a security perspective, the site benefits from HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and security headers that would enhance protection against common web threats. The absence of WHOIS registration data for the domain is a notable risk factor, potentially indicating privacy protection or registration issues, which impacts domain legitimacy and trust. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy in content and presentation but would benefit from improved security practices and transparency in domain registration. Strategic improvements in security headers, mobile responsiveness, and explicit security policies are recommended to enhance trust and compliance.

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

7 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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 business operates within the professional certification sector, specifically targeting expert appraisers and evaluators in Europe. Its competitive advantage lies in its association with recognized European expert groups and the DGuSV, providing a standardized credential that facilitates professional mobility. Revenue streams likely include membership fees and card issuance charges. The target customers are professionals seeking recognition across EU borders. Growth potential exists as the card gains wider acceptance across European countries. Partnerships with European expert organizations strengthen its market position. The business model is service-oriented, relying on trust and professional standards enforcement.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is implemented, indicating awareness of privacy compliance. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options exposes the site to potential clickjacking and content injection risks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which limits readiness for security incidents. The missing WHOIS data reduces domain trustworthiness. No known vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the site is secure enough for informational purposes but requires enhancements to meet higher security standards and compliance frameworks like GDPR fully.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Improve mobile optimization and accessibility to enhance user experience across devices.
  4. Clarify domain registration details or ensure WHOIS data is publicly available to increase domain trustworthiness.
  5. Enhance SEO and metadata completeness to improve search engine visibility and user engagement.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a straightforward technology stack with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Cookie consent is managed via Usercentrics scripts loaded from external domains. No CMS or advanced frameworks are detected, suggesting a custom or static site approach. Performance is moderate with no evident heavy resources. The site lacks advanced accessibility features and mobile responsiveness is basic. SEO metadata is minimal but present. No analytics or tracking services beyond cookie consent are detected. Hosting provider and infrastructure details are not discernible from the source. Overall, the technical implementation is functional but could benefit from modernization and optimization.
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.
