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. 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 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';…

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

firma.de operates in the business services sector, focusing on digital firm formation and related consulting services. Its business model is based on providing packaged legal and administrative services online, targeting small and medium-sized enterprises and startups in Germany. The company benefits from strategic partnerships with software providers like Lexware and financial services like Finom and IONOS, enhancing its service ecosystem. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive service offerings, transparent pricing, and expert support, which reduce bureaucratic hurdles for founders. The presence of customer testimonials and high service ratings further strengthens its market credibility. Growth indicators include continuous service expansion and integration of new offerings such as digital legal advice and business planning support.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of reputable third-party services for analytics and payments. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against certain web attacks. There is no publicly available incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Privacy compliance is partially implemented with a GDPR privacy policy but lacks a cookie consent mechanism, which is a compliance gap. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional security best practices and improving compliance transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen web security.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve security transparency and incident handling.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information, including dedicated security or abuse email addresses.
  5. Regularly review third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are used.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Google Tag Manager for analytics, Stripe.js for payment processing, and AWS Cloudfront for CDN delivery, contributing to fast load times and good performance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses web fonts loaded asynchronously for better user experience. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph tags, and structured JSON-LD data describing the organization and its services. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. The technical implementation is robust with minor opportunities for improvement in accessibility and security headers.
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.
