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

FLÄCHENMANAGER is a German-language professional magazine focused on green and area maintenance, published by Verlag Eugen Ulmer. The website offers industry news, expert articles, and subscription services targeting professionals in landscaping and related fields. The site uses modern web technologies including jQuery, AlpineJS, and Glide.js, and integrates analytics via Matomo and Google Tag Manager. Advertising is managed through the AdSpirit network. The website is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and includes accessibility features. However, no explicit privacy policy or terms of service pages were detected in the provided content, and no direct contact information was found. The WHOIS lookup failed to retrieve domain registration data, which is inconsistent with the active and professional nature of the website.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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';…

  3. 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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

The business operates as a niche media publisher serving a specialized market segment of green and area maintenance professionals in Germany. Its revenue streams likely include subscriptions, advertising, and sponsored content. The company leverages digital channels for content delivery and marketing, including newsletters and online articles. The presence of a test subscription offer indicates a strategy to convert visitors into paying subscribers. The lack of visible contact details and privacy documentation online may limit trust for some users. The domain registration inconsistency warrants further investigation to confirm legitimacy.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR principles via Klaro. Analytics respects Do Not Track settings. However, no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, and there is no visible security policy or incident response contact information. The site does not expose sensitive data in the HTML and uses secure forms for login. The absence of a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy suggests room for improvement in transparency and security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and accessible privacy policy and terms of service pages to enhance compliance and user trust.
  2. Add explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve security posture.
  3. Provide visible contact information including a dedicated security or abuse contact email to support incident response.
  4. Consider implementing a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of modern JavaScript libraries and frameworks including jQuery 3.6.0, AlpineJS 3.10.2, and Glide.js for UI components. Font Awesome is used for icons. Cookie consent is managed by Klaro, and analytics are handled by Matomo and Google Tag Manager. The CMS appears custom-built, inferred from URL patterns and script usage. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. Hosting provider details are not evident from the content. Advertising is integrated via AdSpirit. The site uses HTTPS but lacks visible advanced security headers. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional media website but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and clearer compliance documentation.
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.
