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

6 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 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';…
  3. 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

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

Erblotse operates in the finance and legal sector, focusing on inheritance and testament services. Its business model revolves around providing online tools and expert consultation to individuals managing estates and inheritance cases. The company leverages partnerships with legal experts and cooperates with over 100 partners, enhancing its market reach and credibility. Revenue streams likely include subscription or service fees for testament creation and estate management. The platform's integration with recognized review sites and compliance badges strengthens its reputation. The absence of explicit contact information on the homepage suggests a focus on digital self-service complemented by expert support. The company maintains a consistent brand image and targets a medium-sized market segment within Germany.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and use of cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. It integrates trusted analytics and marketing tools with user consent, minimizing privacy risks. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of published incident response or security policy pages limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the site balances usability and security well but should enhance explicit security controls and incident response visibility to strengthen trust further.

Recommendations

  1. Implement explicit Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options headers to enhance browser security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Consider adding visible company contact information (email, phone) to improve user trust and support accessibility.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure ongoing privacy compliance and minimize tracking footprint.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webflow CMS platform, leveraging AWS for hosting and DNS services. It uses modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery and Tiny Slider for UI components. Analytics and marketing integrations include Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, and Facebook Pixel, all loaded asynchronously with consent management via Termly. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses Google Fonts for typography. Performance is optimized with CDN usage for static assets. No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected. The technical implementation reflects a modern, maintainable infrastructure with good SEO and accessibility practices, though explicit security headers could be improved.
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.
