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

Bundesdruckerei GmbH is a large, government-affiliated technology company specializing in secure digital identity solutions, cybersecurity, and digital transformation services primarily for public sector and critical industries in Germany. The company holds a strong market position as the largest cross-departmental federal enterprise in digitalization with approximately 1300 employees. Their offerings include identification systems, IT security, trusted services, and digital infrastructure solutions. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content, clear navigation, and professional branding consistent with their government ties. Technically, the site is built on Drupal CMS with Bootstrap 5, optimized for mobile, and integrates eTracker analytics with privacy-conscious cookie consent mechanisms. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced, nonce usage in scripts, and a dedicated vulnerability disclosure page, though explicit security headers could be more visible. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the business identity, supporting legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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. 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. 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

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 Bundesdruckerei-Gruppe operates in multiple sectors including government, healthcare, finance, and technology, offering products and services that secure digital identities and protect sensitive data. Their business model focuses on technology solutions 'Made in Germany' for public administration and critical infrastructure. The group includes subsidiaries such as Maurer Electronics GmbH, D-Trust GmbH, genua GmbH, Xecuro GmbH, and inco GmbH, indicating a diversified portfolio. The company emphasizes digital sovereignty and societal trust, targeting government agencies, healthcare providers, financial institutions, and industries requiring high security. Their strategic positioning as a federal technology partner and their extensive service offerings suggest stable revenue streams and a strong competitive advantage in the German market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with mandatory HTTPS, use of nonce attributes in inline scripts to mitigate XSS risks, and a publicly accessible vulnerability disclosure page. Cookie management respects GDPR with a consent banner that does not deploy consent-requiring cookies by default. However, explicit HTTP security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options are not clearly visible in the HTML source, which could be improved. No sensitive data or credentials are exposed in the HTML. The presence of external links to trusted portals and partner sites is well managed. Incident response contact details are not explicitly found, suggesting an area for enhancement. Overall, the security maturity is high but could benefit from more transparent security policies and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish and enforce explicit HTTP security headers like X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against clickjacking and MIME sniffing.
  2. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  3. Enhance visibility and accessibility of incident response contacts, including dedicated security or abuse email addresses.
  4. Consider publishing a formal security policy outlining frameworks, certifications, and compliance measures.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern Drupal CMS platform using Bootstrap 5 for responsive design, ensuring good mobile optimization and accessibility. The use of nonce attributes in inline scripts indicates attention to security best practices. Analytics are implemented via eTracker with cookie consent mechanisms in place. The site loads with moderate performance, likely due to rich media content and multiple external resources. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags, canonical links, and alternate language versions. The site architecture supports clear navigation and user experience. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found, but domain nameservers indicate a stable infrastructure. Opportunities exist to improve performance by optimizing media assets and leveraging advanced caching strategies.
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.
