NIS2 Art. 21(2)

  1. (a) Risk analysis and security policies: Not visible from outside
  2. (b) Incident handling: One indicator
  3. (c) Business continuity, backups and crisis management: Not visible from outside
  4. (d) Supply chain security: Not visible from outside

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

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  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.

    • Medium

      Email Security Check Incomplete

      Some email security checks timed out

      What to do: Manual verification may be needed for complete assessment

  2. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Medium

      DNSSEC Not Enabled

      DNSSEC is not configured for this domain

      What to do: Enable DNSSEC to prevent DNS spoofing attacks

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

ConSol operates in the technology sector, focusing on custom IT solutions and software development for enterprises. Their business model revolves around consulting, agile project management, DevOps, cloud services, and innovative technologies like AI and automation. The company targets medium to large enterprises seeking digital transformation and reliable IT operations. Their market position is strengthened by long-standing client relationships with major corporations such as BMW Group and Union Investment. The company emphasizes partnership ecosystems with leading technology providers, enhancing their service portfolio and competitive advantage. Growth indicators include a stable employee base, multiple country venues, and a high number of successful projects. Their website content and branding are consistent and professional, supporting their market credibility.

Security posture

ConSol's security maturity is moderate to good. The website enforces HTTPS with a valid certificate but lacks support for modern TLS versions (TLS 1.2 or 1.3), which is a notable gap. Security headers like Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are present, though HSTS is not fully enabled. No known SSL vulnerabilities are detected, and cipher suites are not weak or vulnerable. The absence of OCSP stapling and session resumption mechanisms indicates room for improvement. The company holds ISO 27001 certification, indicating a formalized information security management system. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are comprehensive and GDPR compliant. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies were found on the site. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from modernizing SSL/TLS configurations and enhancing security header implementations.

Recommendations

  1. Enable and enforce HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload directives to improve HTTPS security.
  2. Upgrade SSL/TLS configuration to support TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 protocols exclusively.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to enhance certificate validation and performance.
  4. Publish a clear vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Consider adding explicit incident response contact channels for security issues.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging Apache as the web server and Bootstrap for responsive design. It uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Flickity, Swiper, and Cookieman for cookie management. Analytics are handled via Matomo and Google Tag Manager, with additional marketing tools like Poptin and LinkedIn Insight. The site is well-structured with comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph tags, and alternate language links for SEO. Performance metrics indicate fast loading and good resource management. Accessibility features like skip links and ARIA labels are present. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though SSL/TLS configuration requires updating to current standards to mitigate potential risks.
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.
