0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

DEG - Deutsche Investitions- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft operates as a development finance institution focused on financing, promoting, and supporting companies investing in developing and emerging countries. The website presents a professional investment database with extensive filtering options by region, country, sector, year, and customer, indicating a mature and data-driven business model. The target audience includes investors and companies seeking development financing in emerging markets. The company is positioned as a key player in development finance with a strong focus on emerging economies. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust open-source content management system, and integrates Usercentrics for cookie consent management, reflecting compliance with privacy regulations. The site uses HTTPS and SVG-based interactive maps for data visualization. Performance and mobile optimization are moderate to good, with basic accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses a consent management platform, but lacks visible security headers and published privacy or terms of service documents. No contact information or incident response contacts are found, which could be improved. No WAF or blocking mechanisms are detected, and no vulnerabilities are apparent from the provided data. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance documentation, security header implementation, and clearer contact information to improve user trust and regulatory adherence.

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

9 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

  2. Security headers

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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

DEG is a large, essential entity in the finance sector specializing in development investments in emerging markets. Its business model revolves around providing financing and support to companies investing in developing countries, leveraging a comprehensive investment database. The company targets institutional investors and businesses focused on sustainable development. The website's detailed filtering options and extensive customer list indicate a broad partnership ecosystem and a data-driven approach. The lack of explicit contact details and privacy documentation suggests areas for operational transparency improvement. The company appears well-established with consistent domain registration and hosting aligned with its business claims.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and integration of a consent management platform (Usercentrics) for GDPR compliance. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth capabilities. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, which limits transparency in security incident handling. The lack of visible contact information for security concerns is a gap. Overall, the site follows basic security best practices but should enhance its security framework and documentation to meet higher compliance and trust standards.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page clearly accessible from the homepage.
  2. Add a terms of service page detailing user rights and obligations.
  3. Implement and publish a security policy and incident response contact information.
  4. Configure and deploy security headers such as CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Provide clear company contact information including emails and phone numbers for support and security inquiries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and scalable content management system suitable for enterprise use. It uses modern web technologies including SVG for interactive maps and asynchronous JavaScript loading for consent management. The site is mobile optimized with responsive meta tags and preloaded fonts for performance. However, no explicit hosting provider information is found, and performance is moderate, suggesting potential for optimization. The absence of advanced accessibility features and SEO enhancements indicates room for technical improvements to enhance user experience and search visibility.
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.
