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

EPSIMEC GmbH & Co KG is a small Austrian digital agency specializing in social media marketing, newsletter marketing, content management, and web development services. Established in 2012, the company has a mature online presence with a professional website built on WordPress, leveraging modern plugins such as Yoast SEO and WP Rocket for optimization. The website presents a consistent brand image, clear contact information, and client references, positioning EPSIMEC as a credible service provider in the technology sector. Technically, the site uses PHP 8.0.3 on an Apache server hosted by Host Europe, but lacks HTTPS support, which is a significant security concern. The cookie consent mechanism is well implemented, indicating good privacy compliance. However, the absence of SSL/TLS encryption and security headers lowers the overall security posture. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. Overall, EPSIMEC demonstrates a solid business and technical foundation but should prioritize securing its website with HTTPS and enhancing security best practices to improve trust 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

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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  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 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.

Add-on

Leaked records that mention epsimec.com, from OffSeq Breach.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

EPSIMEC operates as a digital marketing and web development agency targeting businesses seeking to enhance their online presence through social media, newsletters, and content management. Their business model focuses on service delivery with a portfolio of lighthouse projects and client logos showcased on the site. The company leverages partnerships with platforms like SendGrid and Google for email and analytics services. The website content and structure suggest a focus on small to medium-sized enterprises in Austria and German-speaking markets. The firm maintains a consistent brand and professional content, supporting its market positioning as a reliable digital agency. Growth indicators include ongoing project showcases and a dedicated contact form for new inquiries. The absence of parent or subsidiary companies indicates an independent operation.

Security posture

The security posture of EPSIMEC's website is currently basic and requires improvement. The lack of an SSL certificate means all traffic is unencrypted, exposing users to potential interception and undermining trust. No modern TLS protocols or cipher suites are supported, and critical security headers are missing. While no known vulnerabilities or subdomain takeover risks are detected, the absence of HTTPS is a critical issue. The site uses Borlabs Cookie for GDPR-compliant consent management and Google Analytics for tracking, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, no published security policy or incident response information limits transparency. To enhance security maturity, EPSIMEC should implement HTTPS, enable HSTS, add security headers, and publish clear security and incident response policies.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and install a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire website.
  2. Configure HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  3. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  5. Regularly audit and update all software components and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with PHP 8.0.3 running on an Apache server hosted by Host Europe. It uses modern plugins for SEO (Yoast), performance optimization (WP Rocket), and cookie consent management (Borlabs Cookie). The site loads various JavaScript libraries including jQuery and GSAP for animations. The DNS setup includes SPF records with SendGrid and Google includes, supporting email deliverability. However, the site lacks HTTPS support, which is a major technical deficiency. Performance metrics are unavailable, but the use of caching and lazy loading suggests some optimization efforts. Mobile responsiveness and SEO are well addressed, but accessibility features are basic. Overall, the technical stack is modern but requires urgent security upgrades.
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.
