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

5 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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. 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.

    • High

      SPF DNS Lookup Limit Exceeded

      SPF record requires 11 DNS lookups (max 10)

      What to do: Reduce includes and mechanisms to stay under limit

  3. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

The company operates in the technology sector as a digital agency focused on TYPO3 CMS and open-source solutions. Their business model centers on providing end-to-end digital services including development, consulting, hosting, and design, targeting businesses seeking high-quality digital experiences. Their platinum membership in the TYPO3 Association and solution partner badge provide competitive advantages and market positioning. The presence of long-term client relationships and recommended agency status for accessibility indicates strong customer trust and niche expertise. Partnerships with TYPO3 and accessibility certification bodies enhance their ecosystem. The company appears medium-sized with a focus on quality and innovation, leveraging modern technologies and agile, interdisciplinary teams.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data in its HTML content, indicating a baseline secure posture. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security robustness. No public incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are found, which could impact transparency and readiness. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms may pose GDPR compliance risks. The use of TYPO3 CMS and modern frameworks suggests adherence to secure coding practices, but explicit security best practices and policies should be publicly documented. Overall, the security posture is moderate with opportunities for enhancement in headers, policies, and compliance mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to strengthen defense-in-depth.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to ensure full GDPR compliance and user transparency.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to proactively identify and mitigate risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging a modern technology stack including PHP, Symfony, Docker, and GitLab for development and deployment. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility compliance (including WAI-ARIA), and SEO best practices with proper meta tags and Open Graph integration. Performance is moderate, with preloading of fonts and deferred JavaScript loading. The absence of third-party advertising or tracking scripts indicates a privacy-conscious approach. Technical debt appears low, but the lack of visible security headers and cookie consent mechanisms suggests areas for modernization and compliance improvements. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable digital presence.
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.
