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

Consileon Business Consultancy GmbH is a well-established management and IT consulting firm based in Karlsruhe, Germany, founded in 2001. The company serves a broad range of industries including banking, automotive, healthcare, insurance, and the public sector. It is recognized as a leading consultancy in Germany, evidenced by multiple prestigious awards such as 'Beste Berater' and 'Beste IT-Dienstleister'. Their service portfolio includes business transformation, AI consulting, sustainability, IT transformation, software development, and cybersecurity assessments. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, comprehensive content, and multilingual support. However, the technical infrastructure shows critical security shortcomings, notably the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support, which severely impacts the site's security posture. Privacy compliance is well addressed with GDPR-aligned policies and cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the business credibility is high, but the lack of HTTPS is a significant risk that should be urgently addressed.

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

9 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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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"

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

Consileon positions itself as a premium consulting partner for medium to large enterprises across multiple sectors, leveraging a strong brand reputation supported by industry awards and certifications. Their business model focuses on delivering consulting services combined with software solutions and AI-driven tools. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem, including educational and recruitment platforms. The website's content and structure indicate a focus on thought leadership and client engagement. Growth indicators include continuous recognition in rankings and active publication of industry-relevant content. The company targets decision-makers in large corporations and public institutions, emphasizing sustainable and innovative transformation strategies.

Security posture

The current security posture of the website is weak due to the lack of HTTPS and SSL/TLS encryption, exposing users to potential data interception risks. No modern TLS protocols are enabled, and critical security headers such as HSTS are missing. While no known vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected, the absence of secure transport is a critical flaw. The site employs cookie consent tools and analytics with privacy considerations, but lacks explicit incident response or security policy disclosures. To improve, the company should prioritize SSL certificate installation, enable secure protocols, and implement additional security headers and incident response information to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire website.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3) and disable insecure protocols.
  3. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email).
  6. Optimize website performance to improve load times and user experience.
  7. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards.
  8. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to avoid vulnerabilities.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1 with PHP 8.1.32 running on an nginx server. It uses popular plugins such as Yoast SEO Premium for SEO optimization, Elementor for page building, WPML for multilingual support, and Cookiebot for cookie consent management. Analytics are handled by etracker. The site lacks HTTPS, which is a major technical deficiency. Performance metrics indicate slow loading times, possibly due to unoptimized resources or server configuration. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation clarity and professional design. Hosting provider details are limited but DNS is managed via DomainControl nameservers. The technical stack is modern but requires urgent security upgrades and performance tuning.
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.
