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

Biermap24.de is a German-focused online platform dedicated to listing and rating beers, boasting a comprehensive database of over 8,000 beers from Germany. The site targets beer enthusiasts and consumers interested in exploring and reviewing various beer brands and breweries. It offers editorial tips, top 10 lists, and a magazine section to engage its audience. Technically, the website employs standard web technologies including jQuery and SVG fonts, and is hosted on servers associated with kasserver.com. The site is mobile-optimized and includes a cookie consent mechanism via CookieFirst, indicating some level of privacy awareness. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and integrates Matomo analytics for user tracking, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security or privacy policies. WHOIS data is minimal but consistent with the hosting provider, with no signs of privacy protection or suspicious registration patterns. Overall, the site presents a good user experience with moderate technical maturity but would benefit from enhanced 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

12 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: SMB

      Port 445 (SMB) is publicly accessible - SMB - Windows file sharing, high risk

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to SMB using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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"

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 · found on this site
  • 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 platform positions itself as Germany's number one beer list, targeting a niche market of beer consumers and enthusiasts. Its business model revolves around user engagement through beer ratings and editorial content, likely monetized via advertising or affiliate partnerships, though no explicit monetization details are found. The site maintains a consistent brand presence and offers extensive content relevant to its audience. The lack of detailed company information and contact data suggests a small-scale operation. The use of Matomo analytics and CookieFirst indicates some investment in user data management and compliance. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the provided data.

Security posture

The website demonstrates basic security hygiene with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent banner in place. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are important for mitigating common web vulnerabilities. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. The use of Matomo analytics suggests moderate user tracking, but privacy policies are missing, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to enhance legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve security posture.
  3. Provide clear contact information including a security or abuse contact email to facilitate incident reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional web stack with jQuery and SVG-based star rating components. Fonts are self-hosted and preloaded for performance. The site is hosted on servers linked to kasserver.com, a known hosting provider. Cookie consent is managed via CookieFirst, and analytics are handled by Matomo, indicating a preference for privacy-conscious tools. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and canonical links. However, the absence of modern frameworks or CMS identification suggests a custom or legacy implementation. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in 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.
