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

The website www.elektrohandwerk.de/fachbetriebssuche.html serves as a professional platform for locating qualified electrical and information technology craft businesses in Germany. Operated by the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Medienwerbung GmbH under the Zentralverband der Deutschen Elektro- und Informationstechnischen Handwerke (ZVEH), it offers a comprehensive search function, certification information, and thematic content aimed at end customers, commercial clients, and public sector entities. The platform holds a strong market position as a trusted intermediary in the energy and electrical craft sector, supported by multiple certifications and a consistent brand presence. Technically, the site is built on the TYPO3 CMS and integrates modern technologies including Google Tag Manager, TikTok Analytics, Usercentrics for consent management, and Google Maps API for geolocation services. The hosting is provided by a German hosting provider (RZone), ensuring regional compliance and performance. The website demonstrates good mobile optimization, SEO practices, and accessibility features, although some accessibility aspects could be enhanced. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs consent management for cookies and tracking scripts, reflecting GDPR compliance. However, explicit security headers like X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options are not evident in the HTML source and could be improved. No direct incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which is a potential area for enhancement. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-aligned with its business objectives. It maintains a good balance between user experience, compliance, and technical implementation, making it a reliable resource for its target audience.

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. 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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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: 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 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: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL 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

  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 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 platform operates within the energy sector, focusing on electrical and IT craft businesses. Its business model centers on providing a searchable directory and certification verification for qualified craft businesses, targeting private customers, commercial enterprises, and public institutions. The site benefits from strong partnerships with industry associations and certification bodies, enhancing its credibility and reach. Revenue streams likely include advertising, premium listings, and certification promotion. The presence of multiple social media channels and thematic content supports customer engagement and brand loyalty. Growth indicators include active news updates and integration of modern marketing tools. The partnership ecosystem is robust, involving official industry bodies and related service platforms.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent management, and use of reputable third-party analytics and tracking services. The absence of explicit security headers in the HTML source is a minor gap but may be addressed server-side. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. GDPR compliance is well addressed through consent mechanisms and privacy policy documentation. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by formalizing incident response and vulnerability disclosure processes.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against clickjacking and MIME sniffing.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Develop and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from external libraries.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as Select2 for enhanced UI components and Modernizr for feature detection. It integrates Google Maps API for geolocation-based search functionality and uses Usercentrics for GDPR-compliant consent management. The presence of Google Tag Manager and TikTok Analytics indicates a mature marketing and analytics infrastructure. Hosting on RZone provides regional hosting benefits.

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.
