59/100

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

ConSol Consulting & Solutions Software GmbH is a medium-sized German IT service provider specializing in custom IT solutions and product solutions across the entire software lifecycle. The company has a strong market position with notable clients such as BMW Group, Union Investment, and Lidl, and holds ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certifications. Their website is professionally designed, content-rich, and well-structured, targeting businesses seeking tailored IT and software services. Technically, the site is built on TYPO3 CMS with modern frontend frameworks and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools. However, the current lack of a valid SSL certificate and absence of HTTPS support represent critical security vulnerabilities that must be addressed promptly. The security posture is otherwise supported by appropriate security headers but lacks advanced SSL/TLS configurations. Overall, the website demonstrates good privacy compliance with comprehensive cookie and privacy policies and consent mechanisms. Strategic improvements in SSL/TLS implementation and security configurations are recommended to enhance trust and security.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

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 with a focus on custom software development, IT consulting, and managed services. Their business model emphasizes full lifecycle IT solutions, agile methodologies, and strong partnerships with industry leaders like Red Hat, AWS, SUSE, and others. The company has a well-established presence since 1984, with over 250 employees across multiple countries. Their client portfolio and success stories indicate a strong competitive advantage and market credibility. The company leverages a broad ecosystem of partners to deliver innovative and reliable IT solutions, targeting enterprise and mid-market clients. Their digital presence is consistent and professional, supporting their brand and market positioning effectively.

Security posture

The website's security maturity is moderate but currently compromised by the absence of a valid SSL/TLS certificate and lack of HTTPS support, which are critical issues impacting user trust and data protection. Security headers such as HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are present but HSTS is not effectively enabled due to SSL issues. No known vulnerabilities like Heartbleed or POODLE are detected, but the lack of modern TLS protocols and session resumption features reduces security and performance. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are well implemented, indicating good compliance with GDPR. Incident response and security policy details are not publicly available, suggesting an area for improvement in transparency and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire website.
  2. Enable and configure modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and 1.3) and disable deprecated versions.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve security and performance.
  4. Publish clear security policies and incident response procedures to enhance transparency.
  5. Maintain and regularly update privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS with a modern frontend using Bootstrap, jQuery, and other libraries like Flickity and Swiper for UI components. It integrates analytics tools including Matomo, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and marketing tools like Poptin. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data. However, performance metrics are missing or zero, indicating potential issues with load time measurement or optimization. The absence of a valid SSL certificate is a significant technical risk. The DNS setup is standard with no DNSSEC enabled and no subdomain takeover risks. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but requires urgent SSL and TLS improvements.
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.
