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

Christian Schmidt's website presents a professional profile of an experienced SEO consultant, data scientist, and software developer based in Germany. The business focuses on providing technical SEO consulting, data science services, and web/software development, targeting businesses and professionals seeking these services. The website is built on WordPress using modern themes and plugins, with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. However, the lack of visible contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage and absence of cookie consent mechanisms indicate areas for improvement in user engagement and privacy compliance. The WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protection, which slightly reduces trust but is common for personal consultancy websites. Overall, the site is professional, secure with HTTPS, and provides clear business information and social media presence.

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

7 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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 business operates as a small consultancy with a diversified skill set in SEO, data science, and software development. It leverages professional networks such as LinkedIn and Xing to establish credibility. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on client projects and online marketing. The website content and structure suggest a well-established individual consultant rather than a large enterprise. No direct revenue streams or partnerships are explicitly mentioned beyond social media links and a company founded in 2020. The presence of privacy and legal notices indicates awareness of compliance requirements, though cookie consent is missing.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, which is a critical security baseline. However, no security headers were detected in the provided data, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. There is no visible security policy, incident response information, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism, which are recommended for professional sites handling client data. The absence of forms reduces attack surface but also limits user interaction. The WHOIS data is not available, which is common for privacy-protected domains but reduces transparency. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for improvement in headers and policy disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with GDPR and improve privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to build trust and preparedness.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider providing explicit contact information (email, phone) on the website to improve business credibility and user engagement.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with the Neve theme and uses plugins such as Otter Blocks and Yoast SEO, indicating a modern and SEO-friendly infrastructure. The site loads CSS and JavaScript asynchronously, improving performance. Mobile optimization is good, and the site uses Font Awesome for icons. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, suggesting minimal user tracking. The absence of security headers is a technical gap. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the data. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy features.
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.
