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

DER PUNKT GmbH is a well-established advertising and design agency based in Karlsruhe, Germany, founded in 1999. The company offers a broad range of services including marketing, corporate design, web design, print media, database solutions, presentations, video production, and mobile apps. It serves a diverse clientele ranging from medium-sized enterprises to large corporations, positioning itself as a leading regional agency with a strong reputation supported by numerous awards and a portfolio of notable clients. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear navigation and relevant content tailored to its target audience. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery, and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics purposes. The presence of a cookie consent banner using Klaro demonstrates attention to privacy compliance. The site is hosted likely on Kasserver infrastructure, with TYPO3 CMS indicated. Performance and mobile optimization are good, though accessibility features are basic. SEO practices are well implemented with proper metadata and structured data. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and implements cookie consent mechanisms. However, it lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure information. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The WHOIS data aligns well with the website content, showing a consistent and legitimate registration history matching the company's founding date. Overall, DER PUNKT GmbH's website demonstrates a solid digital presence with good content quality, technical implementation, and privacy compliance. Security posture is adequate but could be enhanced with formal policies and additional headers. The business credibility is high, supported by clear contact information, certifications, and trust signals. Strategic recommendations include formalizing security documentation, improving accessibility, and maintaining vigilance on third-party scripts and analytics configurations.

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

10 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

  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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: SMB

      Port 445 (SMB) is publicly accessible - SMB - Windows file sharing, high risk

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to SMB using firewall or VPN

      • 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
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • 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
  4. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

DER PUNKT GmbH operates as a full-service advertising agency with a balanced portfolio of marketing, design, and technical services. Its market positioning as a leading agency in Southwest Germany is supported by a diverse client base including major corporations such as Adidas, Lufthansa, and Mercedes-Benz. The company leverages partnerships with specialized platforms like jobsaround.tv and arbeitgeberleben.de to extend its service offerings, particularly in recruitment and employer branding. The business model focuses on integrated communication solutions combining creative and technical expertise. Growth indicators include a stable team size of around 26 employees and a nearly 20-year operational history. The agency's ecosystem includes multiple partner domains enhancing its service reach. The company emphasizes quality, innovation, and client trust, as evidenced by its awards and client testimonials.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced with a strong SSL configuration, and cookie consent is managed via Klaro, indicating GDPR awareness. No security headers were explicitly detected in the HTML content, suggesting room for improvement in HTTP header security controls. There is no visible security policy or incident response information, which are important for transparency and preparedness. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file limits external reporting capabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. The use of third-party analytics and tag management is controlled but requires ongoing monitoring to prevent privacy or security risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but would benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate privacy and security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and jQuery, with TYPO3 CMS indicated by footer assets. It uses Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking and analytics, integrated with a Klaro cookie consent banner for privacy compliance. The site is hosted on servers associated with Kasserver, as indicated by the nameservers. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. The site uses structured data (JSON-LD) for organization and breadcrumb markup, enhancing search engine understanding. There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries in the provided content. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and functional website but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and security header implementation.
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.
