digistats Analytics is a privacy-focused web analytics provider offering a GDPR-compliant alternative to Google Analytics. Their service emphasizes cookie-free, IP-free, and fingerprint-free tracking, targeting website owners and businesses concerned with data privacy. The platform provides real-time analytics, visitor behavior insights, geographic data, and event tracking with a lightweight tracking code. The company positions itself as a trustworthy and privacy-first analytics solution with a presence primarily in Germany and Switzerland. Technically, the website uses modern web technologies including JavaScript, SVG, and Bootstrap, hosted on Infomaniak servers. Security practices include CSRF protection and deferred script loading, but lack explicit security headers and published incident response policies. Overall, the site is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and professional, though contact information is limited to an encrypted email link without direct phone or email addresses. The domain registration appears legitimate and consistent with the business claims. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, allowing full content access.

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

6 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"

    • 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';…

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

digistats operates in the technology sector as a small-sized SaaS provider specializing in privacy-friendly web analytics. Their business model is subscription-based with a free 14-day trial, targeting privacy-conscious website owners and companies. The platform competes with major analytics providers by offering compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and PECR without using cookies or storing IP addresses. The company highlights trust signals such as server location in Switzerland and endorsements by over 120 companies. The website content is consistent and professional, supporting a clear market positioning in privacy-first analytics. However, the lack of visible direct contact details and certifications may limit trust for some customers. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the domain or website content.

Security posture

The security posture of digistats.de is moderate. The website uses HTTPS (implied by external script URLs and modern standards) and implements CSRF tokens in forms, indicating awareness of common web security practices. However, no explicit HTTP security headers (such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options) were detected in the provided data. There is no published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program visible on the site. Contact information for security incidents is not provided. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms despite cookie-free claims may be a minor compliance gap. Overall, the site shows good baseline security but could improve transparency and hardening measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy including incident response and vulnerability disclosure contacts.
  2. Add explicit HTTP security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide a clear cookie policy or consent mechanism even if cookies are not used, to comply with privacy regulations and user expectations.
  4. Enhance contact information visibility by adding direct company email addresses and phone numbers for support and security inquiries.
  5. Consider obtaining and displaying relevant certifications or trust badges to strengthen business credibility and customer trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with modern web technologies including JavaScript, SVG graphics, and Bootstrap CSS framework, ensuring responsive and visually appealing design. The presence of CSRF tokens suggests backend frameworks like Laravel or similar PHP frameworks. Hosting is provided by Infomaniak, a reputable Swiss hosting provider, supporting privacy and data protection claims. Performance is optimized with deferred and asynchronous script loading. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved. No CMS was explicitly detected. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid with room for enhancements in security headers and accessibility.
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.
