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

Bonn.digital GbR is a small, regionally focused digital communication agency based in Germany, specializing in social media consulting, community management, and event services. Founded in 2013, the company targets businesses and institutions primarily in Bonn, offering expert guidance on digital communication strategies and event moderation. Their website is professionally designed, content-rich, and actively maintained with a blog featuring recent posts relevant to social media trends and digital events. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce and German Market plugins, indicating compliance with regional e-commerce regulations. The site uses modern web technologies including jQuery, FontAwesome, and WPBakery Page Builder. Performance and mobile optimization are good, though accessibility could be improved. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enabled and no obvious vulnerabilities, but some security headers are missing. Privacy compliance is partial; while a cookie consent mechanism is implemented, explicit privacy and terms of service pages were not found in the provided content. Contact information is available via phone and contact page, but no direct company email addresses are visible. Social media presence is strong, enhancing trust and outreach. Overall, Bonn.digital presents as a credible and professional digital agency with a good security baseline and active digital presence. Enhancing privacy documentation and security headers would further strengthen their posture.

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

3 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 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Bonn.digital operates as a specialized digital communication agency with a focus on social media strategy, community management, and event support. Their market positioning is regional with a strong emphasis on Bonn and surrounding institutions. The business model revolves around consultancy and service delivery in digital communication, supported by content marketing through their blog. Revenue streams likely include consulting fees, event management, and media production services. The company maintains partnerships with local event platforms such as BarCamp Bonn and Meetup Digitales Bonn, indicating a collaborative ecosystem. Growth indicators include active content updates and diversified service offerings. The company targets institutional and corporate clients seeking to enhance their digital footprint.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Use of nonce in AJAX calls and absence of vulnerable libraries in the provided content are positive indicators. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options suggests room for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is present, which could be a gap in security readiness. GDPR compliance is partial, with cookie consent implemented but no clear privacy policy found. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small agency but would benefit from enhanced header policies and documented incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  3. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update all WordPress plugins and core to mitigate risks from outdated components.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and comply with accessibility standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using WooCommerce for e-commerce capabilities and German Market plugin for regional compliance. It employs WPBakery Page Builder for layout management and uses standard web fonts and icon libraries such as FontAwesome and Material Icons. JavaScript libraries include jQuery and Matomo (Piwik) for analytics. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. Performance is moderate, with some optimization possible. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. The technical stack is typical for a small to medium digital agency and supports their business needs effectively.
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.
