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

Bichinger Software & Consulting is a small technology company based in Germany specializing in professional web platform software development using Ruby on Rails and Vue.js. The company targets businesses seeking custom web platform solutions and consulting services. The website is currently offline with a placeholder message indicating renewal, limiting content availability and detailed business information. The technical infrastructure leverages modern frameworks and technologies, including PostgreSQL and Docker, indicating a contemporary development environment. However, the website lacks visible contact information, privacy policies, and terms of service, which impacts trust and compliance perception. Security posture shows basic implementation with CSRF tokens but lacks visible security headers and documented policies. Overall, the site is functional but minimal, with moderate technical maturity and room for improvement in security and compliance documentation.

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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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 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';…

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.

Add-on

Leaked records that mention bichinger.de, from OffSeq Breach.

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 operates in the niche market of custom web platform development, focusing on Ruby on Rails and Vue.js technologies. Its business model revolves around software development and consulting services for clients likely in the regional German market. The absence of detailed business data such as founding year, certifications, or partnerships limits deeper competitive analysis. The company appears to maintain a consistent brand identity but lacks visible trust signals such as client testimonials or certifications. The use of Cookiebot for cookie consent indicates awareness of privacy regulations, though no privacy policy is published. The company’s market position is likely small and specialized, with growth potential tied to expanding digital transformation demands.

Security posture

Security maturity is basic with some best practices like CSRF token implementation and cookie consent management. However, the absence of security headers, privacy policy, incident response information, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in security governance and compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected, but the lack of comprehensive security documentation and contact channels for incident reporting reduces readiness. The website uses HTTPS (implied by external scripts loaded over HTTPS), but SSL configuration details are not provided. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires enhancements to meet higher compliance and trust standards.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for business and security incident reporting.
  3. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities and improve incident response readiness.
  5. Enhance website content and navigation to improve user experience and business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack centered on Ruby on Rails and Vue.js, supported by PostgreSQL and Docker for database and containerization needs. The presence of Cookiebot and Google Tag Manager scripts indicates integration of privacy and analytics tools. The site is currently offline with minimal content, which limits performance and SEO evaluation. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic but present. No CMS or hosting provider information was detected. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from improved security headers and richer content to reduce technical debt and enhance digital maturity.
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.
