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

Brainloop AG is a German-based technology company specializing in secure online collaboration and data room solutions for enterprises, particularly targeting DAX-40 companies and corporate governance professionals. Their product suite includes Brainloop MeetingSuite, BoardRoom, DealRoom, and CollaborationRoom, designed to facilitate confidential document handling and secure communication both internally and with external partners. The company positions itself as a leading provider in the DACH region with a strong focus on information security and compliance. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins such as Yoast SEO and Google Tag Manager, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, though some accessibility features could be improved. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and respects Do Not Track signals, but lacks explicit security headers and a cookie consent mechanism, which are recommended for enhanced compliance and protection.

Strategic recommendations include implementing cookie consent, publishing a security policy, and enhancing security headers to strengthen the security posture further.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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

  • Email security: did not complete in this scan.
  • DNS health: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Brainloop AG holds a leading position in the secure data room and corporate governance software market, targeting large enterprises and governance professionals. Their B2B SaaS model leverages secure cloud infrastructure localized in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, appealing to clients with strict data sovereignty requirements. The company maintains a professional digital presence with multilingual support and active social media channels. Their ecosystem includes dedicated portals for different regions, indicating a structured approach to service delivery. The absence of explicit terms of service and incident response details suggests areas for maturity improvement. The company’s content and resource offerings, including blogs and downloads, support thought leadership and customer engagement.

Security posture

Brainloop demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced site-wide and no exposed sensitive information in the HTML content. The use of Google Tag Manager and eTracker respects Do Not Track settings, indicating privacy-aware analytics. However, the site lacks explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended best practices. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which could be critical for transparency and trust. No vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing formal security policies and implementing additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and display a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR cookie requirements.
  2. Add explicit HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page with contact channels for security issues.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Yoast SEO, and Google Tag Manager. It uses plugins for social sharing, modal windows, and hreflang tags for multilingual support. The site loads asynchronously some scripts for performance and uses CDN-hosted libraries. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. The site structure is clear with canonical URLs and proper meta tags for SEO. There is room for technical improvement in accessibility and security header implementation. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and secure online presence suitable for enterprise clients.
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.
