DataCharts is a small German business specializing in the creation of tailored interactive dashboards and data visualizations to support decision-making for municipalities, regions, and businesses. Their key products include RegioBoard, KonjunkturBoard, and ResultBoard, which focus on economic, demographic, and survey data visualization. The company collaborates with partners such as pro Wirtschaft GT GmbH and has received an award for innovative economic development solutions. The website is professionally designed using an HTML5 UP template, with good mobile optimization and clear navigation. Technical infrastructure is basic but sufficient, relying on standard web technologies like HTML5, CSS3, and jQuery, hosted on a German hosting provider (1blu GmbH).

No forms collecting sensitive data were detected, and no analytics or tracking scripts are present, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing business credibility. Overall, the website is trustworthy and suitable for its target audience, though improvements in security best practices and incident response transparency are recommended.

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. 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

  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
  • 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

Business profile

DataCharts occupies a niche market in Germany providing customized data visualization dashboards for economic and structural data analysis. Their business model is B2B, targeting municipalities, regional agencies, and businesses needing decision support tools. The company leverages partnerships to enhance product offerings and has received recognition for innovation. Revenue likely derives from dashboard development and data management services. The website content and structure reflect a professional and focused approach, with clear service descriptions and contact points. The absence of extensive marketing or advertising suggests a specialized, relationship-driven sales approach. Growth potential exists through expanding dashboard offerings and enhancing digital presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is assumed but not explicitly confirmed in the data. Cookie consent is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. However, no HTTP security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) were detected, and no published security or incident response policies exist. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found. The lack of forms reduces attack surface, but the absence of advanced security controls and transparency limits the security posture. No known vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small business website but could be significantly improved by adopting security best practices and publishing relevant policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTPS with strong SSL/TLS configuration and HSTS header.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Consider creating and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a simple but effective technology stack based on HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript with jQuery. It employs a responsive design template from HTML5 UP, ensuring good mobile optimization and user experience. Hosting is provided by 1blu GmbH, a German hosting provider, inferred from the nameservers. No CMS or advanced backend technologies were detected, indicating a static or lightly dynamic site. Performance is moderate, with no heavy scripts or analytics slowing load times. SEO is basic with meta description present but no Open Graph or structured data markup found. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The lack of analytics or tracking scripts suggests a privacy-focused approach but limits marketing insights.
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.
