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

Edgar Ambient Media Group GmbH is a leading German media company specializing in integrated digital and analog advertising solutions across high-traffic indoor urban touchpoints. With over 60,000 advertising carriers, the company holds a strong market position as a premier provider of DOOH, Ambient, and Live Media campaigns. Their business model focuses on authentic communication solutions for advertisers targeting urban audiences. Technically, the website is built on Webflow with modern JavaScript libraries for animation and smooth user experience, supported by a managed hosting provider. However, the current SSL/TLS configuration is invalid, which poses a significant security risk despite the presence of HSTS and email authentication records. The company demonstrates good privacy compliance with GDPR-aligned policies and consent mechanisms. Overall, Edgar Ambient Media Group GmbH presents a professional and trustworthy digital presence with room for critical security improvements.

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.

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 media sector with a medium-sized footprint in Germany, backed by the parent Stroeer-OOH-Gruppe. Their competitive advantage lies in the extensive network of digital and analog advertising touchpoints and a diversified portfolio including programmatic advertising and live media events. Revenue streams likely include advertising sales and media data services. The target customers are businesses seeking urban advertising solutions. The partnership ecosystem includes several subsidiaries and related domains focused on complementary media services. Growth indicators include active news updates, awards, and a strong client base featuring well-known brands. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining compliance and enhancing digital security to protect brand reputation and customer trust.

Security posture

The current security posture shows moderate maturity with key strengths in email authentication (SPF, DMARC) and HSTS enforcement. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols critically undermine secure communications, exposing users to potential interception and trust issues. No explicit security policy or incident response information is published, which limits transparency and readiness for security events. GDPR compliance is evident in privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. The lack of a security.txt file and incident response contacts suggests gaps in vulnerability disclosure and incident management. Overall, the security culture appears basic with urgent need for remediation of SSL/TLS issues and enhanced transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate immediately to secure all website traffic.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable deprecated versions to improve encryption standards.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and provide clear incident response contact information to enhance vulnerability disclosure and response readiness.
  4. Strengthen DMARC policy from 'none' to 'quarantine' or 'reject' to better protect against email spoofing.
  5. Regularly audit and update privacy and security policies to maintain compliance and build user trust.
Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern tech stack including Webflow CMS, GSAP for animations, Swiper.js for sliders, and Lenis for smooth scrolling, delivering a visually appealing and user-friendly experience. Hosting is managed via Managed-IP nameservers. Performance is moderate with a page load time of approximately 4.5 seconds and 71 resources loaded. Accessibility and SEO optimizations are good, with proper use of ARIA roles and metadata. However, the invalid SSL certificate and lack of TLS support represent significant technical debt and risk. The use of multiple third-party scripts for analytics and marketing is well integrated but requires ongoing privacy oversight. Opportunities exist to improve security infrastructure and optimize performance further to reduce load times and enhance user experience.
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.
