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

e-kurier.net operates as a European courier and freight exchange platform, facilitating partnerships among direct couriers to optimize cargo space and reduce empty runs. The platform offers services such as a partner shop with cooperative agreements and online support, targeting logistics professionals across Europe. The website content is primarily in German and presents a business-focused, professional image with a moderate user base and partner ecosystem. Technically, the site uses traditional web technologies including JavaScript and CSS, but also relies on deprecated Flash content for its news ticker, indicating some legacy infrastructure. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic, with room for modernization. Security posture is moderate; while the site uses POST for login forms and implements cookie consent mechanisms indicating GDPR awareness, there is no visible HTTPS enforcement or security headers, and the use of Flash poses security risks. WHOIS data is missing or inaccessible, raising concerns about domain registration legitimacy, although the website content and partner links suggest a legitimate business. Overall, the site scores moderately on content quality, technical implementation, security, privacy compliance, and business credibility, with recommendations to improve security practices, update technology, and clarify domain registration details.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

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 · found on this site
  • 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 platform occupies a niche in the European transportation sector, focusing on courier and freight logistics. Its competitive advantage lies in its extensive partner network of over 2000 members and integration with well-known partner shops. The business model revolves around facilitating cargo space sharing and freight offers, reducing inefficiencies in courier operations. Revenue streams likely include partner shop commissions and subscription fees, as indicated by the free 2-month trial offer. The target customers are direct couriers and logistics companies seeking efficient freight solutions. Growth indicators include active listings and a visitor counter dating back to 2003, suggesting long-term operation. The partnership ecosystem includes reputable automotive and logistics brands, enhancing credibility. Strategic observations highlight the need for digital modernization and improved transparency in domain registration to strengthen market trust.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate but with notable gaps. The presence of a login form using POST and a cookie consent modal shows basic security and privacy awareness. However, the absence of HTTPS enforcement and security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options weakens the site's defense against common web attacks. The use of Flash technology introduces potential vulnerabilities due to its deprecated status and lack of support. No explicit incident response or security policy information is available, limiting the site's preparedness for security incidents. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by the privacy and cookie policies, but further improvements are needed to meet modern security standards. Overall, the security posture requires enhancements in encryption, header implementation, and removal of legacy technologies to reduce risk.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS site-wide with HSTS to ensure secure communications.
  2. Remove Flash content and replace with modern, secure alternatives (e.g., HTML5).
  3. Add essential security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Publish clear security policies and incident response contacts to improve transparency.
  5. Enhance mobile responsiveness and accessibility to improve user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using XHTML 1.0 Transitional with CSS and JavaScript for layout and interactivity. It uses a custom JavaScript scroller for dynamic content display. The presence of Flash for the news ticker is outdated and poses security and compatibility risks. No modern frameworks or CMS platforms are detected, suggesting a custom or legacy build. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO optimization is basic with minimal meta tags and no structured data or Open Graph tags found. Hosting provider and SSL configuration details are not available from the provided data. Technical debt is evident in the use of deprecated technologies and lack of modern security practices, indicating opportunities for modernization and improved infrastructure resilience.
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.
