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

BrotHaus is a German bakery business offering traditional and innovative baked goods through physical stores and an online shop. The website showcases their products, live events, and a customer loyalty program, positioning them as a regional retail bakery brand with a focus on quality and customer experience. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce and uses modern plugins and themes, providing a good user experience with multimedia content and mobile optimization.

Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy and contact transparency.

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

7 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

    • 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

  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 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

BrotHaus operates in the retail bakery sector with a medium-sized footprint in Germany. Their business model combines retail sales, e-commerce, and event hosting, targeting general consumers interested in quality bakery products and culinary experiences. The company leverages digital tools like loyalty programs and online ticketing for events, indicating a moderate digital maturity. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified. The brand maintains consistent messaging and professional content, supporting a strong market position in their niche.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses nonce tokens for AJAX requests, indicating awareness of security best practices. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and readiness. GDPR compliance is not clearly demonstrated due to missing privacy and cookie policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details and implement a cookie consent mechanism.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer support and security incident reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider publishing a security policy and incident response plan to improve trust and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality and uses the Avada theme and child theme for design. It incorporates multimedia elements such as video backgrounds and image carousels with lazy loading for performance optimization. JavaScript libraries include jQuery and various WooCommerce scripts, with deferred loading to improve page speed. The site is mobile optimized and uses SEO best practices via the Yoast SEO plugin. Hosting appears to be managed via GoDaddy DNS services. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy compliance features.
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.
