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

FORTYEIGHT is a professional marketing agency based in Münster, Germany, specializing in brand identity, web design, and performance marketing tailored for medium-sized enterprises in the Münsterland region. The company positions itself as a transparent and authentic partner, emphasizing collaboration and measurable results. The website reflects a strong regional focus and a commitment to quality communication services for the Mittelstand sector. Technically, the website is built on the Webflow platform, leveraging modern technologies such as Matomo for analytics and CookieFirst for consent management, indicating a mature digital infrastructure with privacy considerations. Hosting is via Amazon CloudFront CDN, ensuring fast content delivery and good performance. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with a professional design and clear navigation. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements a cookie consent mechanism, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies or incident response information. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain trust analysis, but the presence of certifications and partner badges supports legitimacy. Overall, FORTYEIGHT demonstrates a solid business and technical foundation with good privacy and security practices, suitable for its target market. Enhancements in security policy transparency and domain registration data visibility would further strengthen trust and compliance.

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

1 finding 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.

    • 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

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.

Business context

Business profile

FORTYEIGHT operates as a specialized marketing agency serving the German Mittelstand, particularly in the Münsterland area. Its competitive advantage lies in authentic communication, transparency, and a full-service approach combining design, strategy, and digital marketing. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on long-term client partnerships and measurable marketing outcomes. The company leverages certifications and regional affiliations to build trust and market presence. Growth indicators include a portfolio of over 150 clients and active social media engagement. The partnership ecosystem includes recognized industry bodies and certified service providers, enhancing credibility.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is managed with user controls, reflecting GDPR compliance. However, the lack of explicit security headers (such as CSP, HSTS) and absence of published security or incident response policies indicate areas for improvement. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, which could hinder coordinated vulnerability reporting. The use of Matomo analytics suggests a privacy-conscious approach to user tracking. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a marketing agency but could benefit from enhanced transparency and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Add standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  3. Create and host a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Enhance WHOIS data visibility or use a registrar that provides more transparent domain registration information to improve trust.
  5. Maintain and regularly audit privacy compliance mechanisms, ensuring cookie consent and data processing notices remain up to date.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS, which provides a modern and scalable platform for content management and design. It uses jQuery 3.5.1 and Matomo for analytics, indicating a blend of traditional and privacy-focused technologies. CookieFirst is integrated for consent management, supporting GDPR compliance. Hosting is via Amazon CloudFront CDN, ensuring fast content delivery and global availability. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with clean HTML and CSS. Performance is fast, and SEO practices are good with proper meta tags and canonical links. Technical risks are minimal, but adding security headers and improving domain registration transparency would reduce potential vulnerabilities.
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.
