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. 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

  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

chemmedia AG operates in the education sector, targeting corporate clients who require scalable and effective e-learning solutions. Their business model revolves around B2B services including software consulting, content production, and managed services, enabling clients to outsource or enhance their digital training capabilities. The company leverages partnerships with leading e-learning software vendors to offer tailored solutions. Testimonials and case studies demonstrate successful implementations in various industries, indicating strong market positioning. The company emphasizes GDPR compliance and data privacy, which is critical in their European market. Growth indicators include a diverse partner ecosystem and a focus on innovative technologies such as AI-assisted content creation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, use of consent management tools, and integration of reputable analytics platforms that respect privacy. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security policies or incident response contacts suggests room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. Security headers are not explicitly visible in the HTML but may be configured at the server level. The company should consider publishing a security policy and vulnerability disclosure to enhance trust and readiness. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be strengthened with additional documentation and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publicly publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information.
  2. Add or verify presence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Maintain and regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention policies and user privacy practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, ensuring scalability and maintainability. It uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Swiper.js, and PhotoSwipe for interactive and responsive UI components. Integration with HubSpot, Microsoft Clarity, Google Tag Manager, and Bing UET indicates a mature marketing and analytics infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and accessibility considerations. Performance is moderate, likely due to multiple third-party scripts and rich media content. Hosting appears stable with domain control via GoDaddy DNS. Technical risks are minimal but include dependency on multiple external services which require ongoing monitoring for security and privacy compliance.
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.
