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

dimension2 economics & philosophy GmbH is a small German consulting firm specializing in Corporate Digital Responsibility (CDR) and ethical data usage to help businesses gain competitive advantages. Their website presents a professional and well-structured digital presence built on WordPress with modern design elements and SEO optimizations. However, the technical infrastructure shows significant security weaknesses, including the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of modern TLS protocols, which exposes the site to risks and undermines user trust. The company provides contact primarily through a contact form, with no direct email or phone contacts publicly listed. Privacy policy is present and GDPR compliant, but cookie consent mechanisms and terms of service are missing. Overall, the business is positioned as a niche consulting provider with a focus on trustworthy data practices, but the website's security posture requires urgent improvements to align with best practices and enhance client confidence.

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.

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

The company targets businesses interested in integrating Corporate Digital Responsibility into their operations, emphasizing value-oriented and utility-maximized data usage. Their consulting services include reducing data risks, fostering innovation, and ethical IT design. The business model is service-based consulting with a focus on ethics and philosophy applied to economics and digital trust. Market positioning is niche with a specialized focus, supported by references to studies and partnerships with reputable institutions. The website content and structure indicate a focus on German-speaking markets, with no evidence of subsidiaries or parent companies. Growth indicators include professional branding and SEO efforts, but limited direct contact information may constrain lead generation.

Security posture

The current security posture is weak due to the lack of a valid SSL certificate and absence of HTTPS support, which is critical for protecting data in transit and establishing trust. The SPF record is correctly configured, reducing email spoofing risks, but the absence of DMARC and security headers leaves email and web security incomplete. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, indicating limited transparency and preparedness. The site does not implement cookie consent mechanisms, which may pose compliance risks under GDPR. Overall, the security maturity is low, exposing the business to potential reputational and operational risks.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire website immediately.
  2. Implement modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3) and disable all insecure protocols to protect data in transit.
  3. Add and enforce DMARC records alongside SPF to strengthen email authentication and reduce phishing risks.
  4. Publish clear security and incident response policies, including contact channels for vulnerability reporting.
  5. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Salient theme, WPBakery Page Builder, and Slider Revolution plugins, indicating a mature but potentially complex tech stack. Performance is slow with a page load time of approximately 5.9 seconds and a large page size (~295 KB). Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and lazy loading images. Hosting is managed via DomainControl nameservers, likely GoDaddy. The absence of SSL and modern TLS protocols is a critical technical debt. SEO is supported by Yoast plugin with structured data and Open Graph tags. No advanced frameworks or custom platforms detected. The site uses common JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and various third-party scripts for UI and functionality.
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.
