Fairness im Handel is a German initiative website operated by IT-Recht Kanzlei Keller-Stoltenhoff, Keller, focused on promoting fair and abmahn-free online trade among e-commerce merchants. The site offers legal safety packages and fosters a community of over 20,000 participants to reduce legal risks and encourage open communication. The business model centers on providing legal compliance services and community membership benefits to online retailers, primarily in Germany. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Enfold theme, with Yoast SEO plugin for optimization and MediaElement.js for media playback. Hosting is provided by Schlund Technologies, a reputable German hosting provider. The site is mobile optimized and demonstrates good SEO practices, though accessibility features are basic. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data, but lacks some security headers and explicit incident response policies. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-positioned within its niche, but could improve in privacy and security transparency.

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

9 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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  4. 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"

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 · found on this site
  • 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 initiative targets online merchants who are clients of IT-Recht Kanzlei, offering them free membership to a community that reduces legal risks through mutual warnings instead of immediate abmahnungen (cease and desist letters). The business leverages its legal expertise to provide monthly subscription packages for legally compliant terms and conditions (AGB). The market position is niche but important within German e-commerce legal services. The partnership ecosystem includes eRecht24 and social media channels for outreach. Growth indicators include over 20,000 participants and ongoing promotion of fair trade practices. Revenue streams likely come from subscription packages and legal services. The business operates primarily in Germany and is small in size but with a focused and credible presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks some advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. There is no visible security or incident response policy, nor a vulnerability disclosure mechanism, which are important for transparency and trust. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism is a GDPR compliance gap. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by adopting additional best practices and explicit policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible to users.
  4. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with the Enfold theme and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a well-supported and SEO-optimized infrastructure. JavaScript libraries include jQuery and MediaElement.js for media playback. Hosting is via Schlund Technologies, a known German provider, ensuring reliable service. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. The site uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO and social media integration. No critical technical debt or outdated libraries were detected. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and implement additional security headers to reduce technical risks.
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.
