Risk levelLow

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

Deutsche Post AG operates as the leading postal and logistics service provider in Germany, offering a wide range of services including letter and parcel delivery, express shipping, and online postage solutions. The company targets both private individuals and business customers, maintaining a strong market position supported by its parent company Deutsche Post DHL Group and its subsidiary DHL. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive service information and customer support features. Technically, the site employs modern JavaScript frameworks, Adobe Launch for tag management, and OneTrust for consent management, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement and multiple security headers, contributing to a robust security posture. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information suggests areas for improvement. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with GDPR, supporting Deutsche Post's reputation as a reliable service provider.

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

2 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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

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

Deutsche Post AG's market leadership in Germany's postal sector is reinforced by its extensive service portfolio and integration with DHL's global logistics network. The business model focuses on both consumer and enterprise segments, leveraging digital tools for service delivery and customer engagement. The company benefits from strong brand recognition and consistent branding across its digital assets. Partnerships and subsidiaries like DHL enhance its operational capabilities and market reach. The website's content and structure indicate a focus on transparency, customer service, and regulatory compliance, which are critical for maintaining competitive advantage and customer trust in the logistics industry.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS, security headers, and consent management for cookies, aligning with best practices for data protection and user privacy. The use of Adobe Launch and OneTrust indicates a mature approach to analytics and compliance. However, the lack of a publicly accessible security policy and incident response contacts limits transparency in security governance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. To enhance security maturity, Deutsche Post could publish a security policy and provide clear channels for vulnerability reporting, such as a security.txt file or dedicated security email addresses.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide explicit incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  3. Implement and publish a security.txt file to formalize vulnerability disclosure processes.
  4. Continue to monitor and update third-party libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention policies and user data handling.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom technology stack with JavaScript, SVG icons, and Adobe Launch for tag management, supported by OneTrust for consent management. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices, with good accessibility and SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading times. Hosting details are not explicitly disclosed, but the use of brand protection DNS servers indicates enterprise-grade infrastructure. The site does not appear to use a common CMS, suggesting a bespoke or proprietary platform. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and secure user experience, though opportunities exist for further performance tuning and transparency in hosting and infrastructure.
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.
