Risk levelHigh

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

e-rechtsanwälte.eu is a specialized legal consultancy firm focusing on energy law, IT law, internet law, and data protection, primarily serving energy suppliers and medium-sized industries in Germany. The website presents a professional image with clear navigation and a modern design, leveraging WordPress with Elementor and Bootstrap frameworks. The firm offers a range of legal services including contract law, insolvency law, and organizational liability. Technically, the site uses HTTPS, Matomo analytics with cookies disabled, and a cookie consent mechanism, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. However, the absence of a published privacy policy and terms of service pages suggests room for improvement in compliance transparency. Security posture is generally good with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data, but the lack of security headers is a minor concern. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional, though enhancing privacy and security disclosures would strengthen its compliance and user trust.

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

11 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

  2. Network security

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

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: SMB

      Port 445 (SMB) is publicly accessible - SMB - Windows file sharing, high risk

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to SMB using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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"

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 company operates in a niche legal market, targeting energy suppliers and medium-sized industrial clients in Germany. Its competitive advantage lies in specialized expertise in energy and IT law, supported by digital services such as online file access and consumer portals. The business model is service-based legal consultancy with digital integration. The website's content and structure indicate a medium-sized firm with a consistent brand presence. The use of modern web technologies and SEO plugins suggests an intent to maintain a strong online presence. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries are identified from the website content or WHOIS data. Growth indicators include active event management and digital service offerings. The firm appears well-positioned within its specialized market segment.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a cookie consent mechanism, reflecting good baseline security practices. Matomo analytics is configured to disable cookies, enhancing privacy. No security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS were detected, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contacts limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good, with recommendations to implement security headers and publish security-related policies to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add a terms of service page detailing user rights and obligations.
  3. Implement standard security headers such as CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options to harden the website.
  4. Provide clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers for support and security incidents.
  5. Regularly audit and update plugins and themes to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 using Elementor and Bootstrap frameworks, indicating a modern and flexible technical infrastructure. It integrates Matomo analytics with cookie tracking disabled, showing attention to privacy. The site is mobile optimized and uses SEO best practices via Yoast SEO plugin. Performance is moderate with no critical errors detected. The use of Borlabs Cookie plugin ensures cookie consent compliance. However, the lack of security headers and absence of detailed WHOIS registrant information are technical gaps. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical setup supports a professional online presence but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and transparency.
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.
