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: SMB

      Port 445 (SMB) is publicly accessible - SMB - Windows file sharing, high risk

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to SMB 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: 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 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

      • ASVS V3.4.3

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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The company operates in the technology sector, focusing on digital agency services for businesses in the Halle and Leipzig region. Their business model centers on providing customized web and graphic design solutions combined with marketing and SEO services. The presence of client testimonials and a portfolio of projects indicates a stable client base and positive market reputation. The company leverages social media channels for outreach and maintains GDPR compliance, which is critical for their European clientele. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, suggesting an independent small business. The website content and structure support a clear value proposition targeting SMEs and organizations seeking professional digital presence and marketing support.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of a reputable consent management platform (Usercentrics) for GDPR compliance. The contact form includes anti-spam honeypot fields and explicit privacy consent checkboxes. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. There is no visible security or incident response policy, which could be a gap in transparency and preparedness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analysis. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could benefit from implementing additional headers and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all users.
  5. Continue monitoring third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure ongoing privacy compliance and minimize user tracking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Enfold theme and incorporates JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and LayerSlider for interactive content. Usercentrics CMP is integrated for cookie consent management, and Google Tag Manager is used for analytics with IP anonymization enabled. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with caching and CSS/JS optimization evident. No hosting provider details were identified. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for a small digital agency, though improvements in security headers and accessibility could be made to reduce technical debt and enhance robustness.
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.
