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
3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
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"

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
The company operates as a specialized digital agency focusing on software development and digital transformation services. Their competitive advantage lies in long-standing industry experience and a diverse client base across sectors such as media, automotive, and public institutions. Revenue streams likely derive from project-based software development, consulting, and ongoing support contracts. The target customers are medium to large enterprises requiring complex digital solutions. The company maintains an active presence on professional social networks and uses recruitment platforms like Personio, indicating growth and talent acquisition focus. Strategic partnerships are not explicitly listed but client logos suggest strong industry relationships.
Security posture
escape GmbH demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the website content. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version presents a potential risk vector. The absence of explicit security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not evident, which could be improved to mitigate common web threats. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced with formal policies and updated technology stacks.
Recommendations
Implement and enforce security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen web security.
Upgrade jQuery and other third-party libraries to their latest stable versions to reduce vulnerability exposure.
Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes
Notes
The website uses Cellms CMS with jQuery 2.0.3 and jQuery UI 1.10.3, which are somewhat outdated but functional. Analytics are implemented via Google Analytics and Matomo, indicating a balanced approach to data collection and privacy. The site is mobile optimized with responsive CSS loading based on device detection. Performance is moderate, with no major blocking scripts detected. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The technical infrastructure appears stable but could benefit from modernization of JavaScript libraries and enhanced security configurations.
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.
