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

DIN Solutions GmbH is a medium-sized technology company operating within the DIN group, specializing in the development and operation of software, platforms, and databases for norming and standardization. The company serves DIN, DIN Media, and their customers and partners by delivering tailored technical solutions and engaging in innovative research and development, including artificial intelligence applications. Their market position is strong within the German norming ecosystem, supported by ISO 9001 certification and partnerships with recognized entities such as TÜV Rheinland. Technically, the website employs modern technologies including MarkLogic NoSQL database, X-Swift framework, and Swift programming language for transformation processes. The site is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and uses etracker for analytics. Performance is moderate with a page load time of about 3 seconds. However, the SSL certificate is nearing expiration, and security headers are minimal, indicating room for improvement in security hardening. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS, SPF, and DMARC configured, but lacks HSTS, DNSSEC, and advanced security headers. No vulnerabilities or malware were detected, but urgent SSL renewal is needed to maintain trust and secure communications. Privacy compliance is good with a comprehensive privacy policy and GDPR adherence, though no cookie consent mechanism was found. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy with strong business credibility. Strategic recommendations include immediate SSL renewal, enhancing security headers, implementing DNSSEC and CAA, and adding cookie consent mechanisms to improve privacy compliance and security 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

5 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"

  3. 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

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 3 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
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

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

DIN Solutions GmbH operates as an essential technology service provider within the DIN group, focusing on software and platform management for norming and standardization. Their competitive advantage lies in their integration with the DIN ecosystem and expertise in digital transformation and AI. The business model centers on delivering tailored IT solutions and innovative R&D to support norming processes. Revenue streams likely derive from internal group services and external client projects. The target customers include norming bodies, industry partners, and standards users. Growth indicators include active development in AI and digital tools. Partnerships with DIN Media, TÜV Rheinland, and others strengthen their market position. The company maintains a professional online presence with ISO certification and clear branding, supporting trust and credibility.

Security posture

The security maturity of DIN Solutions GmbH is moderate. They have implemented fundamental security controls such as HTTPS with modern TLS versions, SPF and DMARC email protections, and OCSP stapling. However, the absence of HSTS, DNSSEC, and CAA records indicates gaps in DNS and transport security. The SSL certificate is expiring imminently, posing a risk of service disruption and loss of trust. No explicit incident response or security policy information is available publicly, which may impact readiness and transparency. Privacy compliance is supported by a comprehensive privacy policy and GDPR adherence, but lack of cookie consent mechanisms is a shortfall. Overall, the security culture appears cautious but could benefit from enhanced controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Renew the SSL certificate immediately to avoid service interruptions and maintain secure communications.
  2. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS usage.
  3. Implement DNSSEC and CAA DNS records to improve DNS security and restrict certificate issuance.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web attacks.
  5. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism and explicit cookie policy to enhance privacy compliance and user trust.
Technical notes

Notes

The website infrastructure is based on a modern technology stack including MarkLogic NoSQL database and X-Swift framework for XML/JSON transformations, indicating advanced backend capabilities. Frontend uses standard HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript with AOS for animations and etracker for analytics. Hosting appears to be managed via multiple DNS providers without DNSSEC. Performance is moderate with a 3-second load time and 42KB page size, which is acceptable but could be optimized. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic. No CMS detected, suggesting a custom or static site approach. Technical risks include imminent SSL expiry and lack of advanced security headers, which should be addressed to avoid operational and security issues.
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.
