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

5 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 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

  3. 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
  4. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • 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

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 website operates in the transportation sector, focusing on legal and informational services related to traffic violations in Germany. It leverages expert content authored by Dr. Philipp Hammerich, enhancing credibility. The business model is content-driven with free calculators attracting traffic, monetized via Google AdSense and affiliate partnerships. The site maintains consistent branding and regularly updates content to reflect legal changes. Its partnership with bussgeldkatalog.org indicates a collaborative ecosystem. The target customers are German drivers needing quick access to penalty information. Growth potential lies in expanding calculator offerings and enhancing user engagement. Lack of direct contact info may limit some trust aspects but is common for informational sites.

Security posture

The site demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and GDPR-compliant consent management. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a public security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page was found, which is recommended for responsible disclosure. The site uses third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and ConsentManager, which are industry standard but require ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. Overall, the security measures are adequate for the site's informational nature but could be improved with explicit security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  2. Add a dedicated security policy or incident response page with contact information.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Consider adding verified company contact information to enhance trust and compliance.
  5. Maintain and document GDPR compliance with clear user data handling disclosures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3, utilizing modern technologies including jQuery 3.7.1, Yoast SEO for search optimization, and WP Rocket for caching and performance enhancement. The site employs ConsentManager for GDPR cookie consent management. The HTML is well-structured with responsive design and accessibility features. Performance is optimized with lazy loading of images and preloading of fonts. SEO is enhanced with comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. No hosting provider details were found in the content. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting a good user experience and search engine visibility.
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.
