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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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';…
  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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

Cronon operates in the technology sector focusing on managed cloud and hosting services for medium to large enterprises primarily in Germany. Their business model revolves around providing customized cloud platforms, managed services, and consulting to support IT transformation. The company leverages partnerships with VMware and Broadcom, indicating strong vendor relationships. Their service portfolio addresses current market demands such as containerization, cloud archiving, and security management. The website content and social media presence reinforce their positioning as a reliable and expert provider. Growth indicators include recent news and events participation. The absence of privacy protection in WHOIS and long domain age further support legitimacy. Strategic observations suggest Cronon is focused on quality service delivery and compliance, targeting IT decision-makers seeking secure and scalable cloud solutions.

Security posture

Cronon demonstrates a mature security posture with ISO 27001 certification for its data centers and IT services, ensuring adherence to recognized information security standards. The website uses HTTPS exclusively, and no sensitive data exposure was detected. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options indicates room for enhancement. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which could affect transparency and trust in security incident handling. The use of Matomo analytics with disabled cookies reflects privacy-aware tracking practices. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by adopting additional technical controls and publishing clear security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to harden the website against common attacks.
  4. Publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy, including a security.txt file, to improve transparency and facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS with a well-maintained theme (Avada) and several plugins for SEO (Yoast), sliders (Revolution Slider), forms (Contact Form 7), and analytics (Matomo). The tech stack is standard for enterprise websites, ensuring ease of content management and extensibility. Performance is moderate with some heavy slider assets but generally optimized images and responsive design. Accessibility is basic but present, with room for improvement. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, structured data (JSON-LD), and Open Graph tags. Hosting appears to be managed internally or by Cronon itself, aligning with their business offerings. Technical risks include missing DNSSEC and security headers, which should be addressed to reduce attack surface and improve trust signals.
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.
