Scholl Communications AG · Energy · Germany

Medium risk. 5 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view and SSL/TLS.

Security score

72/100

Risk levelMedium

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

Erdwärme Grünwald is a local German energy initiative focused on geothermal energy solutions to address climate change in Grünwald. The website is professionally designed using the Weblication® CMS platform and hosted with Cloudflare DNS services, indicating a moderate level of technical maturity. However, the site lacks explicit privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance and user trust. Security posture is basic with no detected security headers or incident response information, suggesting room for improvement in security best practices. Overall, the website presents a credible business presence but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security measures to improve compliance and trustworthiness.

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. 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

The business operates in the energy sector with a focus on sustainable geothermal energy solutions for the Grünwald community. It appears to be a small-sized local initiative supported by Scholl Communications AG. The business model centers on providing green energy alternatives, targeting environmentally conscious residents and stakeholders. The website content is consistent and professionally branded, but lacks detailed business contact information and certifications that could strengthen market positioning and trust. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries beyond the parent company. The absence of analytics and marketing tools suggests a low digital marketing footprint.

Security posture

The current security posture is basic. The website uses HTTPS (implied by canonical URL), but no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected in the provided content. There is no visible vulnerability disclosure or incident response contact information, which limits the ability to report security issues. No forms or data collection mechanisms were found, reducing immediate risk from input vulnerabilities. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential GDPR compliance gaps. Overall, the site is functional but would benefit from implementing security best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements and consent mechanisms.
  2. Add security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to improve security transparency and readiness.
  4. Include clear contact information such as company emails, phone numbers, and physical addresses to enhance business credibility.
  5. Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate any potential vulnerabilities and improve SSL/TLS configuration.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Weblication® CMS platform, a professional German CMS solution, and uses Roboto fonts for typography. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing performance and security benefits. The site appears mobile-optimized with responsive design elements. However, no advanced frameworks or analytics tools were detected, indicating a relatively simple technical stack. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading or errors. Accessibility features are basic, and SEO optimization is minimal with meta tags present but no structured data or rich snippets detected. The site would benefit from enhanced SEO and accessibility improvements.
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.
