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

DHL.de is the official website for DHL Paket GmbH, a leading parcel delivery and logistics company operating primarily in Germany and internationally. The site offers comprehensive services for private and business customers, including parcel shipping, receiving, online postage, and express shipping. The website is well-structured, professionally designed, and targets a broad audience with clear navigation and multilingual support. Technically, the site uses modern frameworks such as React and integrates marketing and analytics tools like Adobe DTM and OneTrust for cookie consent management. However, a critical security issue is the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support, which significantly impacts the security posture. Privacy compliance is strong, with detailed cookie consent mechanisms and a comprehensive privacy policy. Overall, the site demonstrates a mature digital presence but requires urgent improvements in SSL/TLS configuration to ensure secure user interactions.

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

4 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

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

DHL Paket GmbH operates as part of the Deutsche Post DHL Group, serving as a major player in the transportation and logistics sector. The business model focuses on parcel delivery services with extensive infrastructure including over 28,000 physical locations in Germany. Revenue streams include parcel shipping fees, express services, and logistics solutions for businesses. The company targets private customers and commercial clients, emphasizing convenience, reliability, and sustainability (e.g., GOGREEN CO2 compensation). The partnership ecosystem includes global DHL services and related subsidiaries. The website reflects a strong brand presence with consistent messaging and trust signals such as GDPR compliance and detailed legal information.

Security posture

The website's security posture is currently weak due to the lack of a valid SSL certificate and no HTTPS protocol enabled, exposing users to potential data interception risks. While SPF and DMARC email authentication records are properly configured, and no subdomain takeover vulnerabilities were found, the absence of TLS protocols, HSTS, OCSP stapling, and session resumption indicates incomplete security hardening. The site uses secure cookie consent frameworks and adheres to GDPR requirements, but the critical SSL issue must be addressed immediately to protect user data and maintain trust.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable deprecated protocols.
  3. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  4. Enable OCSP stapling to improve certificate revocation checking performance and security.
  5. Configure session resumption mechanisms such as session tickets or session cache.
  6. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  7. Enhance contact information visibility with verified company emails and phone numbers.
  8. Maintain and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  9. Continue to enforce and update privacy and cookie consent mechanisms in line with GDPR.
  10. Improve accessibility features and mobile optimization for broader user inclusivity.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using React and integrates Adobe DTM for marketing and analytics, OneTrust for cookie consent management, and Pega for business logic. Hosting is via Akamai CDN, ensuring global content delivery. Performance is moderate with a page load time of approximately 6.6 seconds and a page size of about 1.4 MB, which could be optimized. The site is mobile responsive and includes accessibility considerations. However, the lack of SSL/TLS support is a major technical risk. The DNS setup is robust with valid SPF and DMARC records, but DNSSEC and CAA records are not enabled, which could be improved for enhanced DNS security.
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.
