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

epoq internet services GmbH is a German technology company specializing in AI-driven personalization solutions for the e-commerce sector. Their offerings include intelligent search, guided selling, recommendation engines, and personalized email marketing, all designed to enhance customer experience and increase conversion rates. The company positions itself as a medium-sized, established player integrated into the broader Entirely ecosystem, providing a comprehensive suite of personalization tools and customer success services to B2B clients. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with excellent content quality and SEO optimization. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern integrations such as HubSpot for marketing and Borlabs Cookie for consent management. Hosting appears to be on AWS infrastructure with DNS Made Easy services. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and performance, leveraging structured data and SEO best practices. Embedded forms and tracking scripts are used for lead generation and analytics, with a moderate level of user tracking balanced by GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent management, but lacks explicit published security policies or incident response contacts. Security headers are partially detected or implied, and no vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analyzed content. The WHOIS data shows partial consistency with the website's claims but lacks detailed registrant information, which slightly reduces trustworthiness. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by publishing formal security policies and vulnerability disclosure information. The overall risk assessment is low, with no signs of malicious or adult content, and a high level of professionalism and trustworthiness. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security header implementation, publishing incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies, and continuous auditing of third-party scripts to maintain security and compliance.

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

5 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 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';…

  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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-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.

Business context

Business profile

epoq operates in the competitive AI personalization market for e-commerce, targeting online retailers seeking to improve customer engagement and sales through advanced AI technologies. Their business model is B2B SaaS with additional customer success services, leveraging partnerships within the Entirely ecosystem to expand market reach. The company demonstrates strong digital maturity with integrated marketing and analytics tools, and a clear focus on GDPR compliance. Their content marketing strategy includes case studies, webinars, and detailed insights, positioning them as thought leaders. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the site suggests lead capture via forms is preferred. The company’s social media presence across major platforms supports brand visibility and customer engagement. Overall, epoq shows a solid market position with growth potential through ecosystem integration and continuous innovation in AI personalization.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and cookie consent management via Borlabs Cookie, indicating GDPR awareness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. However, explicit security headers like X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options were not clearly identified and should be verified or implemented. The lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a compliance gap and potential risk in incident handling. Embedded third-party scripts (HubSpot, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel) introduce typical tracking and privacy considerations but are managed with consent mechanisms. The WHOIS data’s limited registrant information and unusual domain status warrant monitoring but do not currently indicate malicious intent. Overall, the security posture is good but can be enhanced by formalizing security governance and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive HTTP security headers including X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing direct company contact emails and phone numbers for security and support inquiries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO Premium plugin for SEO optimization and Borlabs Cookie for GDPR-compliant cookie management. It integrates HubSpot forms for lead capture and marketing automation, and uses Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for analytics and advertising. Hosting infrastructure appears to be AWS-based with DNS Made Easy for DNS management. The site uses modern web fonts and responsive design techniques, ensuring good mobile optimization and accessibility. Performance is moderate, with preloading of fonts and asynchronous loading of scripts. Structured data in JSON-LD format is implemented for SEO and social media integration. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though opportunities exist to improve security headers and formalize security policies.
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.
