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

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 29 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography

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

Business profile

digitalfabriX GmbH operates in the government and technology sectors, focusing on digital transformation solutions for public administrations. Their business model is B2B, providing software and consulting services tailored to municipalities and government entities. The company leverages long-term relationships and a large customer base to maintain market presence. They offer educational services such as seminars and maintain customer portals, indicating a mature service ecosystem. The company targets digitalization needs in the public sector, positioning itself as a trusted partner with deep domain expertise. Their marketing and communication emphasize experience, customer trust, and innovation. The website's integration with analytics and cookie consent tools shows a commitment to data-driven insights and compliance. The absence of explicit certifications or security policies suggests potential areas for growth in formal compliance and security assurance. No suspicious or unrelated domains are linked, indicating a focused and professional digital footprint.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible security misconfigurations or exposed sensitive data. The use of anti-CSRF tokens in forms and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism aligns with best practices. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could be addressed to enhance protection against common web attacks. No incident response or security contact information is published, which limits transparency and readiness perception. There is no vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file, which are increasingly standard for mature organizations. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by publishing security policies and implementing additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Consider obtaining and displaying relevant security certifications or compliance attestations to boost trust.
  5. Regularly review and update cookie and privacy policies to maintain GDPR compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack centered around Umbraco CMS, with client-side libraries including jQuery 3.7.0, Bootstrap 4.3.1, and various UI and utility scripts. The site uses Matomo for analytics, indicating a preference for privacy-respecting tools. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading and responsive design. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels are present, contributing to good usability. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. No hosting provider details were detected from the HTML content. The site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security headers and more explicit performance optimization details.
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.
