Communiacs is a professional digital agency based in Passau, Germany, specializing in web design, e-commerce, SEO, and online marketing services. The company positions itself as an official Google and Facebook partner, targeting businesses seeking comprehensive digital marketing solutions. Their website reflects a solid market presence with clear branding and a focus on delivering quality digital services. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS and leverages Cloudflare for DNS and likely CDN services, ensuring good performance and security. Cookiebot is implemented for GDPR-compliant cookie consent management, and Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and demonstrates good SEO practices. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent mechanisms effectively. However, some security headers are not explicitly detected, and Google reCAPTCHA is currently disabled, which could be improved. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The absence of a public security policy or incident response contact is noted. Overall, the website is professional, secure, and compliant with privacy regulations, making it a trustworthy digital agency platform. Strategic improvements in security headers and transparency policies would further enhance their security posture and user trust.

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

  2. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Communiacs operates in the technology sector as a small-sized digital agency focused on SEO, web design, e-commerce, and online marketing. Their competitive advantage includes official partnerships with Google and Facebook, which enhances credibility and market positioning. The business model revolves around providing tailored digital marketing services to local and regional clients. The company appears to have a stable partnership ecosystem with major advertising and analytics platforms. Growth indicators include a well-maintained website with modern technologies and compliance with GDPR. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, indicating an independent operation. The agency targets businesses requiring digital transformation and marketing expertise, leveraging trusted third-party tools to deliver measurable results. Their market presence is reinforced by positive customer ratings and consistent branding.

Security posture

The security maturity of the website is moderate to good. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot with TCF v2.2 compliance, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. The use of Cloudflare DNS adds a layer of protection and performance enhancement. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options suggests room for improvement in defense-in-depth. Google reCAPTCHA is present in the code but disabled, which could expose forms to spam or abuse. No vulnerabilities or exposed credentials were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Overall, the site demonstrates good baseline security but would benefit from enhanced header policies and formal security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Enable Google reCAPTCHA on all forms to reduce spam and automated abuse.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are in use.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS, a mature and extensible content management system, indicating a stable technical foundation. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. The site includes modern web technologies such as asynchronous JavaScript loading, responsive design, and structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO. Performance is moderate, with optimizations possible in caching and script loading. Accessibility is basic but could be enhanced with ARIA roles and better keyboard navigation support. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured local business schema. No critical technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. The site is well-structured and professionally implemented, suitable for its business purpose.
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.
