48/100

Risk levelHigh

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

SC-Networks GmbH operates Evalanche, a mature and well-established marketing automation platform focused on B2B clients primarily in Germany. The website presents a professional and comprehensive digital presence with strong emphasis on data protection, ISO 27001 certification, and GDPR compliance. The platform offers modular marketing automation, lead management, and email marketing services with a strong ecosystem of partners and professional services. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern JavaScript libraries and integrates Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot for analytics and consent management. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and certifications, though explicit security headers and incident response disclosures are lacking. WHOIS data is missing or privacy protected, which slightly reduces domain trustworthiness but does not detract from the overall professional presentation. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing incident response contacts, and clarifying domain registration details to improve transparency and trust.

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. 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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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 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';…

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

Business profile

Evalanche targets medium-sized to large B2B enterprises and agencies seeking advanced marketing automation solutions with high data protection standards. The company leverages a SaaS model with modular add-ons and professional services to drive customer success. Its market position is strengthened by long-standing presence (25+ years), ISO 27001 certification, and a broad partner ecosystem. The business model focuses on subscription revenues, service upsells, and ecosystem growth. The website content and structure reflect a mature marketing approach with clear segmentation, use cases, and customer testimonials. The company emphasizes German data privacy compliance as a competitive advantage. Growth indicators include active content marketing, webinars, and downloadable resources. Partnerships and integrations with CRM and analytics platforms are highlighted to enhance value proposition.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and prominently displays ISO 27001 certification, indicating a strong commitment to security and data protection. Cookie consent mechanisms are implemented via Cookiebot, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others is a gap that could be exploited. No dedicated incident response or vulnerability disclosure page was found, which limits transparency and readiness perception. WHOIS data is not publicly available, which may be due to privacy protection but reduces domain registration transparency. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by adding security headers, publishing incident response contacts, and implementing a security.txt file.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish an incident response page or security contact email to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Create and host a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Verify and publish domain registration details to enhance trust and legitimacy.
  5. Continue maintaining GDPR compliance and update privacy and cookie policies regularly.

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.
