Low risk. 1 critical or high finding in SSL/TLS.

Security score

78/100

Risk levelLow

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

The website www.buchhandlung.de serves as a German-language platform to help users find local bookstores across Germany. It focuses on promoting the tolino device family, eBooks, books, and audiobooks, positioning itself as a niche retail discovery service. The platform integrates Google Maps for location services, requiring user consent for functional cookies related to map embedding. The site demonstrates a moderate level of digital maturity with use of jQuery, Modernizr, and Google Maps API, and shows good mobile optimization and user experience. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though additional security headers and explicit security policies could enhance protection. Privacy compliance is strong, with clear GDPR-aligned privacy and cookie policies. However, no direct contact information or incident response details are published, which could be improved for better trust and 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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

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

The business operates in the retail sector, specifically targeting book buyers and readers in Germany. Its business model revolves around connecting customers to physical bookstores via an online locator tool, enhancing the visibility of local bookshops and tolino products. The platform likely generates revenue through affiliate programs and partnerships with bookstores. The market position is that of a specialized national service with consistent branding and good content quality. The absence of detailed company registration or contact information limits deeper business intelligence insights. The platform's partnership ecosystem includes Google for map services and possibly tolino-related entities.

Security posture

The website maintains a secure HTTPS connection and employs a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. It uses embedded Google Maps which collects user data based on consent. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. However, the lack of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and additional security headers suggests room for improvement in security maturity. The site does not appear to use any WAF or advanced security frameworks. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from enhanced transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  4. Consider adding structured data (JSON-LD) for business and contact information to improve SEO and trust signals.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and APIs for vulnerabilities and privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional front-end stack with jQuery and Modernizr for feature detection and compatibility. Google Maps API is embedded for location services, requiring user consent for functional cookies. The site loads multiple CSS stylesheets and uses deferred JavaScript loading for performance. The HTML is valid and includes meta tags for viewport and description, supporting basic SEO. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. However, no CMS or backend technology is explicitly detected. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and script optimization. Accessibility is basic, with some ARIA roles used but no advanced features detected.
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.
