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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

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

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • 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
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

      • 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 SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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.

Add-on

Leaked records that mention carbon.ag, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for carbon.ag right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context

Business profile

Carbon GmbH operates in the manufacturing sector, providing specialized automotive repair technology solutions. Their business model is B2B, serving automotive repair shops and professionals. The company has a long-standing presence since 2002, enhancing its market credibility. The website's integration of multilingual support (German and English) and detailed privacy compliance indicates a focus on European markets and GDPR adherence. The use of multiple analytics platforms suggests an emphasis on data-driven marketing and user experience optimization. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content or WHOIS data. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear contact channels and legal disclosures, supporting customer trust and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and multiple security headers present, including HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and Content-Security-Policy. The use of Wordfence plugin adds a layer of protection against common WordPress vulnerabilities. Cookie consent management is implemented via Real Cookie Banner Pro, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could be an area for improvement to enhance DNS security. The absence of a public security policy or incident response page limits transparency regarding security governance. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file was found, which could be considered for future security maturity improvements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and governance.
  3. Develop and publish an incident response plan and contact channels for security incidents.
  4. Consider implementing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Maintain regular updates of WordPress core and plugins to mitigate emerging vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder, leveraging modern JavaScript and CSS libraries. It uses Google Analytics and Matomo for analytics, indicating a hybrid approach to data collection and privacy compliance. The site employs Real Cookie Banner Pro for cookie consent management and Wordfence for security. Hosting and domain registration are managed by Ascio Technologies, with domain age indicating a stable presence. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The technical stack is standard for professional small to medium business websites, with opportunities to enhance DNS security and publish more comprehensive security documentation.
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.
