Risk levelMedium

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

IBF Solutions GmbH operates the CE-PraxisTage website, a professional conference platform focused on CE marking and product safety primarily for the machinery and plant engineering sectors. The site promotes specialized focus sessions and a two-day CE conference, targeting professionals responsible for product safety and CE compliance. The company also offers software products and seminars related to CE marking. Technically, the website is built on the Jimdo CMS platform, utilizing POWr widgets and standard web technologies like jQuery. The site is mobile-optimized and includes cookie consent mechanisms, reflecting a moderate level of digital maturity. Security posture is moderate, with cookie consent implemented but lacking visible security headers and explicit security policies. WHOIS data is missing or unavailable, which raises some concerns about domain registration transparency. Overall, the website is professional, content-rich, and trustworthy from a business perspective but could improve its security and transparency aspects.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  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

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 company positions itself as a niche provider in the CE marking and product safety domain, offering conferences, software, and training seminars. Their market approach focuses on specialized knowledge transfer and practical guidance for industry professionals. The presence of testimonials and clear contact information enhances credibility. The business model relies on event participation and software sales, targeting a specialized audience in manufacturing. The partnership with IBF Solutions GmbH is evident and central to the brand. Growth potential exists through expanding seminar offerings and software solutions. The company maintains a consistent brand image and professional online presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates basic security hygiene with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which limits transparency in security matters. The missing WHOIS data is a notable concern, as it affects domain trustworthiness. There are no visible signs of vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and clarifying domain registration details.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Verify and improve SSL/TLS configuration to ensure strong encryption and trust.
  3. Publish explicit security and privacy policies, including incident response and vulnerability disclosure information.
  4. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data to improve domain registration transparency and trust.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain compliance and security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using the Jimdo Creator CMS platform, leveraging jQuery and POWr.io widgets for interactive features. The site includes a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. Performance is moderate, with some optimization possible. The site is mobile responsive and has a clear navigation structure. SEO is supported by appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. However, the lack of advanced security headers and incomplete WHOIS data represent technical risks. The hosting is managed by Jimdo, a known CMS provider. Overall, the technical infrastructure is adequate for the business purpose but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security controls.
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.
