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
4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
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.
Critical
No email authentication configured
Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing
What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately
High
No SPF record found
SPF helps prevent email spoofing
What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"
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 Content-Security-Policy header
Controls resources the browser is allowed to load
What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

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.

Business context
Business profile
Creditreform International holds a strong market position in the finance sector, targeting businesses requiring credit and economic information services. Their business model focuses on B2B services with a broad partnership ecosystem across multiple European domains. The company leverages strategic partnerships and cross-domain consent to enhance service delivery. The website content and structure reflect a mature organization with clear service offerings and a focus on compliance and user trust.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS, security headers, and cookie consent compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the lack of a security.txt file and incident response contact information indicates room for improvement in vulnerability disclosure and incident management readiness. Regular audits of third-party scripts and enhanced CSP policies are recommended to maintain and improve security.
Recommendations
Implement a full Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate XSS and related attacks.
Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
Provide explicit incident response contact information on the website.
Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies.
Site observations

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as Swiper.js and Cookiebot for cookie management. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and lazy loading. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in load times and accessibility. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for search engines. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and compliant online 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.
