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

Blaukontor Gestaltung is a well-established design agency based in Bremen, Germany, specializing in creative solutions for print, web design, corporate branding, and publishing. With over 25 years of experience, the company serves a diverse clientele including architecture firms, medical institutions, cultural organizations, and various businesses. Their portfolio showcases a broad range of projects emphasizing quality and local market presence. Technically, the website employs classic web technologies such as jQuery and Lightbox, with moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS usage but lacks advanced security headers and updated libraries. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a privacy and cookie policy present but missing explicit consent mechanisms. Overall, Blaukontor demonstrates strong business credibility and professional online presence, though improvements in security and privacy practices are recommended.

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

8 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

  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 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';…

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

Blaukontor holds a solid position in the Bremen design market, leveraging long-term client relationships and a comprehensive service offering that includes a proprietary publishing arm, Speicher-Verlag. Their business model focuses on bespoke design and branding services tailored to local and regional clients across multiple sectors such as education, healthcare, industry, and cultural institutions. The company benefits from a diversified portfolio and visible social media engagement, supporting growth and brand recognition. No parent or subsidiary companies beyond Speicher-Verlag were identified. The agency’s longevity and consistent branding reinforce its competitive advantage in a niche market.

Security posture

The website’s security maturity is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of key security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. The use of an outdated jQuery version introduces potential vulnerabilities. No explicit incident response or security policy is published, and no dedicated security contact channels are provided. Privacy compliance is basic, with policies present but lacking active consent mechanisms. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Enhancing security headers, updating libraries, and formalizing security policies would improve the overall security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Add an explicit cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  4. Publish a dedicated security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve trust and readiness.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to proactively identify and remediate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional tech stack with jQuery 1.11.1, Lightbox.js, and CSS normalization. While functional and stable, the stack is somewhat outdated, potentially impacting security and performance. Hosting appears to be managed via your-server.de, with multiple nameservers indicating redundancy. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices but could benefit from modern responsive design frameworks. SEO is well addressed through meta tags, Open Graph, and structured data (JSON-LD) for local business. Accessibility features are basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and semantic HTML. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but modernization would enhance security, performance, and user experience.
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.
