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

eBilanz-Online is a specialized service provided by Bundesanzeiger Verlag GmbH, focused on enabling businesses and tax professionals in Germany to comply with current tax and commercial law requirements through electronic balance sheet submissions. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image aligned with its parent company, targeting medium-sized enterprises and professionals in the finance sector. The business model is primarily SaaS-based, offering compliance solutions under a trusted German publishing brand. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern theme and uses a variety of analytics and marketing tools such as Matomo, Mouseflow, LinkedIn Insight, and Google Tag Manager, all integrated with GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms. Hosting is provided by PlusServer, a reputable German hosting provider, ensuring reliable infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, though accessibility could be improved. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and includes standard security headers. However, it lacks a publicly available security policy or incident response information, which could enhance trust and preparedness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Privacy compliance is well addressed with comprehensive privacy and cookie policies and active consent management. Overall, eBilanz-Online demonstrates a solid digital presence with good security and privacy practices suitable for its business domain. Strategic improvements in security transparency and accessibility would further strengthen its posture 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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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"

    • 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';…
  2. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 384-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 company operates in the finance sector, providing electronic filing solutions for tax and commercial compliance, a niche but critical market in Germany. Its association with Bundesanzeiger Verlag lends credibility and market positioning as a trusted compliance partner. The business model leverages SaaS delivery, targeting businesses required to submit electronic balance sheets. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees or service charges. The target customers are medium-sized enterprises and tax professionals. The website's partnership ecosystem includes analytics and marketing service providers but no direct payment or third-party service partners were identified. Growth indicators include active content updates and integration of modern marketing tools. The company maintains a professional online presence with consistent branding and trust signals, positioning it well within its market segment.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, strong SSL configuration, and multiple security headers. The use of cookie consent with blocking mode indicates compliance with privacy regulations. No exposed credentials or sensitive data were found. The inclusion of multiple analytics and tracking scripts is managed with user consent, reducing privacy risks. However, the absence of a published security policy or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and incident preparedness. There is no visible incident response contact, which is a gap in security readiness. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but could benefit from enhanced security governance documentation and communication.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Improve website accessibility to meet higher standards and broaden user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a stable and widely used CMS platform, WordPress 6.8.3, with the GeneratePress theme and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a modern and maintainable infrastructure. Hosting is managed by PlusServer, a reputable German provider, ensuring reliable uptime and performance. The tech stack includes jQuery, FontAwesome, and multiple analytics tools integrated with consent management. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized, but accessibility features are basic and could be enhanced. Technical debt appears low, but continuous monitoring of third-party dependencies is recommended to avoid security risks. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business needs effectively with opportunities for incremental 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.
