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

Energieberater2050.de is a German-language portal dedicated to certified energy consultants, supported by recognized industry associations such as BAKA, DEN, and GIH-BV. The platform provides a searchable database of qualified energy consultants, information on certification, and training opportunities including web seminars. It targets property owners, investors, and professionals seeking energy consultancy services, positioning itself as a niche resource within the German energy efficiency sector. Technically, the website is built on the proprietary dev4u® CMS and utilizes legacy JavaScript libraries including jQuery 1.3.2, which introduces security risks. The site has basic SEO and accessibility features but lacks modern mobile optimization and security headers. Google Analytics is used for visitor tracking without visible cookie consent mechanisms, indicating partial privacy compliance. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS but lacks visible security headers and employs outdated JavaScript libraries with known vulnerabilities. There is no public security policy or incident response information. Contact information is limited to a contact form with no explicit emails or phone numbers displayed. The WHOIS data is consistent and indicates legitimate domain registration without privacy protection. Overall, the site is functional and relevant for its target audience but requires improvements in security practices, privacy compliance, and modernization of its technical stack to enhance trust and resilience.

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

7 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. 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"

    • 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';…

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 portal serves a specialized market segment focused on energy consultancy certification and training in Germany. Its partnerships with established organizations like BAKA and DEN enhance credibility and market reach. The business model revolves around providing a directory service, certification validation, and educational content. Revenue streams likely include training fees and registration services. The platform's niche focus and official partnerships position it well within the energy efficiency ecosystem, though growth may be limited by its small size and basic digital infrastructure.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled but lacks critical security headers such as Content Security Policy and HSTS. The use of outdated JavaScript libraries like jQuery 1.3.2 exposes the site to known vulnerabilities. Absence of a cookie consent mechanism and privacy policy details reduces GDPR compliance. No incident response or security contact information is provided, limiting transparency and readiness. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, with significant room for improvement to protect user data and maintain trust.

Recommendations

  1. Update all JavaScript libraries and dependencies to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a visible cookie consent banner and enhance privacy policy to fully comply with GDPR requirements.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  5. Modernize the website’s technical stack and improve mobile responsiveness and accessibility for better user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a proprietary CMS (dev4u®) and uses legacy JavaScript libraries, notably jQuery 1.3.2, which is outdated and vulnerable. The site includes multiple CSS imports and uses older HTML meta tags with ISO-8859-1 charset. Google Analytics is integrated via legacy ga.js script. The site lacks modern frontend frameworks and shows basic mobile optimization. Performance is moderate but could benefit from modernization. No advanced frameworks or platforms detected. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but dated, posing risks and limiting scalability.
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.
