38/100

Risk levelHigh

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

Ditec Innovations- und Technologiezentrum is a medium-sized innovation and technology center based in Düsseldorf, Germany, specializing in providing office and laboratory spaces primarily for life science companies, startups, and technology-based entrepreneurs. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image, highlighting key services such as flexible rental spaces, networking opportunities, and startup support. The technical infrastructure is built on WordPress with modern plugins and demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms but lacks some advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is partial due to missing privacy and terms of service pages. Overall, the website is trustworthy and well-positioned in its market niche.

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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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 business operates in the healthcare and real estate sectors, focusing on innovation and startup ecosystems. It leverages a real estate leasing model combined with value-added services like coaching and funding consultancy. The presence of multiple tenant logos and event announcements indicates an active and engaged community. The company targets startups, life science firms, and technology entrepreneurs, positioning itself as a regional innovation hub. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified. The website content and structure support a professional and credible business image.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a reputable cookie consent plugin (Borlabs Cookie), indicating awareness of privacy and security requirements. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which could be improved to enhance trust and readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The security score is moderate, with recommendations to implement additional headers and publish security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve privacy compliance.
  2. Implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance security posture.
  3. Add a security.txt file and a vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide explicit contact information for data protection officers or security incident response.
  5. Regularly audit and update plugins and themes to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using PHP and jQuery, with plugins such as Slider Revolution and Events Manager enhancing functionality. The site uses Borlabs Cookie for GDPR-compliant cookie consent. The technical implementation is modern and supports responsive design, though accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate, with some room for optimization. SEO practices are good, with proper meta tags and structured navigation. Hosting provider details are not explicit. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively but could benefit from enhanced security and accessibility improvements.
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.
