Conword.io is a German-based technology company specializing in real-time website translation services. Their core offering is a GDPR-compliant software solution that enables website owners, particularly public sector organizations in the EU, to easily integrate a language selector and translate their websites into up to 30 languages. The company positions itself as a niche provider with a strong emphasis on data privacy and ease of integration via a simple JavaScript snippet. Their market presence is supported by references to reputable public sector clients and partnerships with recognized technology providers such as DeepL. Technically, the website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform with Elementor page builder, leveraging common web technologies including jQuery and Bootstrap. The site is well-optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness, with good SEO practices and structured data implemented. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections in place, though DNSSEC is not enabled and some security headers are not explicitly detected. Privacy compliance is generally good, with a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service, but lacks an explicit cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the security posture is strong for a small technology company, with no critical vulnerabilities detected. The domain registration is privacy protected but consistent with the business profile and age. The website content is professional, trustworthy, and safe for general audiences. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, implementing security headers, adding cookie consent, and publishing security policies to enhance trust and compliance.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: SMB

      Port 445 (SMB) is publicly accessible - SMB - Windows file sharing, high risk

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to SMB using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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';…

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Conword.io operates in the technology sector, focusing on website localization and translation services. Their business model is SaaS-based, targeting website owners and organizations requiring multilingual web presence, especially within the EU public sector. The company leverages partnerships with DeepL and other technology and consulting firms to deliver high-quality translations and integration support. Their competitive advantage lies in GDPR compliance, real-time translation capabilities, and ease of deployment. The company is relatively young (founded 2022) but has established a credible client base including several German cities and municipalities. Growth potential is supported by the increasing demand for multilingual digital content and regulatory requirements for accessibility and data privacy.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could improve DNS security. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not explicitly present, representing an area for improvement. No sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content, and no vulnerable libraries were detected. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency. Privacy compliance is emphasized, but the lack of a cookie consent mechanism is a minor gap. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and verify security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add an explicit cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR cookie requirements.
  4. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Consider creating and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.2 with Elementor 3.30.3, using jQuery 3.7.1 and Bootstrap for responsive design. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing. The site loads quickly and is mobile optimized with good accessibility features. Structured data (JSON-LD) and Open Graph tags are properly implemented for SEO and social sharing. The domain is registered via NameCheap with privacy protection and uses DNS servers ns5.kasserver.com and ns6.kasserver.com. No major technical debt or outdated libraries were detected. The site integrates a custom JavaScript translation widget leveraging DeepL's translation API. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern, performant, and well maintained.
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.
