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

6 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. 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 Content-Security-Policy header

      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';…

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 website targets a professional audience of fruit growers, processors, and agricultural stakeholders, providing specialized content such as Fachartikel and industry news. Its business model revolves around media publishing with revenue streams from subscriptions, newsletters, and ePaper sales. The site links to multiple related media portals under the same publishing group, indicating a broad media ecosystem. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a preference for controlled communication via forms. The domain uses privacy protection, which is common and justified for media entities. Overall, the site demonstrates a stable market position within its niche.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with HTTPS enabled and the use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from abuse. The integration of a consent management platform indicates attention to privacy compliance. However, the lack of visible HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or HSTS suggests room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the site is secure but could enhance its security maturity by adopting additional headers and publishing security-related policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users, including those with disabilities.
  5. Consider providing direct company contact information such as verified emails or phone numbers to improve business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager CMS, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Ractive.js for dynamic content rendering. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and OpenCMP for consent management, reflecting a mature approach to privacy compliance. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and includes multimedia content such as embedded YouTube videos. Performance appears moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and deferred resources. The technical stack is modern and well-structured, though opportunities exist to improve security headers and 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.
