Security score

Risk levelHigh

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

The website bolberitz.com represents a small, family-run translation institute based in Austria, specializing in professional translation and interpretation services with a focus on European and regional languages. The business has a long history dating back to 1958 and offers services including native speaker translations, localization, and certified document translations. The website content is primarily in German and targets a broad audience seeking language services. Technically, the website is outdated, using legacy HTML framesets and lacking modern web technologies or CMS platforms. The site is served over HTTP without SSL/TLS encryption, exposing it to security risks and reducing user trust. No privacy or cookie policies are present, and no contact information such as emails or phone numbers are explicitly provided on the main page. Security posture is weak due to the absence of HTTPS, security headers, and modern TLS protocols. Overall, the site is functional but requires significant modernization and security improvements to meet current standards and user expectations.

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

10 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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: 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

  4. 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

Bolberitz.com operates in the language services sector, focusing on translation and interpretation primarily for businesses in Austria and surrounding regions. The company leverages native speakers and specialized translators to ensure high-quality linguistic and cultural accuracy. The business model is service-oriented, relying on direct client engagements for translation, localization, and document certification. The market position is that of a niche, regionally focused provider with a long-standing reputation. There is no evidence of digital marketing, analytics, or advanced customer engagement tools on the website. The absence of contact details and policies may limit customer trust and acquisition. The company could benefit from enhancing its digital presence and compliance posture to improve competitiveness and client confidence.

Security posture

The security posture of bolberitz.com is currently poor. The lack of an SSL/TLS certificate means all traffic is unencrypted, exposing users to interception and undermining trust. No security headers are implemented, and the server uses outdated protocols with no support for modern TLS versions. There is no evidence of incident response or security policies published on the site. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR requirements, which is critical given the European location. While no active vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed or POODLE were detected, the fundamental lack of HTTPS and security best practices represents a significant risk. Immediate remediation is recommended to secure communications and comply with data protection regulations.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and install a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire website.
  2. Implement essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Develop and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  4. Modernize the website design to remove framesets and adopt responsive, accessible HTML5 standards.
  5. Add clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and customer engagement.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on an Apache server with basic HTTP headers and no HTTPS support. DNS records show stable hosting with dedicated name servers and mail exchange servers consistent with the domain. The site uses legacy HTML 4.01 frameset structure, which is outdated and not mobile-friendly. No modern JavaScript frameworks or CMS platforms are detected. Performance data is unavailable but inferred to be slow due to legacy design and lack of optimization. No analytics or tracking technologies are present, indicating minimal digital marketing infrastructure. The technical debt is high, and modernization is needed to improve performance, security, 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.
