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

de lege data is a specialized German-language blog providing comprehensive legal analysis and updates on data protection, privacy, and GDPR-related topics. The website serves data protection professionals, legal experts, and companies seeking detailed insights into European data protection law. It is positioned as a niche expert resource with high-quality content authored by Carlo Piltz. Technically, the site runs on WordPress with common web technologies like jQuery and Modernizr, hosted on German infrastructure. The site is accessible, mobile-optimized, and well-structured, though it lacks explicit cookie consent mechanisms and visible contact information. Security posture is moderate with no detected advanced security headers or incident response contacts. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but could improve in security best practices and privacy compliance transparency.

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. 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';…

  2. 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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention delegedata.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for delegedata.de right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The website operates as an information publishing platform focused on data protection law, targeting a specialized audience in Germany and Europe. It leverages authoritative legal content and court decision analyses to maintain relevance and authority. The business model is content-driven without evident monetization or advertising. The site maintains consistent branding and high content quality, positioning it as a respected source in its niche. Partnerships appear limited to content references and hosting providers. Growth potential lies in expanding contact and compliance transparency to enhance trust and engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled (implied by URLs) but lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options. No incident response or security contact information is provided, which limits transparency in case of security events. The WordPress platform and plugins should be regularly updated to mitigate vulnerabilities. No signs of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could benefit from enhanced headers, documented policies, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent mechanism to comply with EU privacy regulations.
  3. Publish clear contact information including a data protection officer or security contact email.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to reduce vulnerability risks.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress CMS version 6.3.1 with standard plugins and scripts such as jQuery and Modernizr. It employs Flickity for UI components and has custom CSS styles for layout and responsiveness. Hosting is provided by rzone.de, a German hosting provider. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with enhanced ARIA roles and semantic HTML. No advanced frameworks or platforms beyond WordPress were detected.
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.
