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

2 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.

    • 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

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.

Breach holds no records for experian.de right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

Experian GmbH is positioned as a leading enterprise in data analytics and decisioning solutions, serving multiple sectors with a focus on finance and risk management. Their business model combines B2B and B2C services, offering products like credit scoring, fraud prevention, and customer journey optimization. The company benefits from a global footprint with numerous regional sites and partnerships, enhancing its competitive advantage. The website content and linked domains indicate a robust partnership ecosystem and a strategic emphasis on innovation, scalability, and speed. The presence of investor relations and case studies further supports credibility and market leadership.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and integration of cookie consent management via OneTrust, indicating GDPR compliance. Use of reputable analytics and tag management platforms reduces risk of vulnerable third-party scripts. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response information, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a gap in transparency and readiness. No exposed sensitive data or obvious vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. Security headers are implied but not explicitly confirmed. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by publishing dedicated security documentation and contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Verify and explicitly implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Continue monitoring and updating third-party scripts to avoid vulnerabilities and maintain privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, a robust enterprise CMS, ensuring scalability and content management efficiency. Integration with Piwik PRO and Google Tag Manager supports advanced analytics and marketing tracking. OneTrust manages cookie consent, reflecting compliance with privacy regulations. The site shows good mobile optimization and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by rich media content and multiple third-party scripts. Hosting appears professional with CSC DNS services. Technical risks are minimal, but opportunities exist to enhance security headers and streamline analytics scripts for performance gains.
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.
