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

6 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 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 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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention florian-simeth.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for florian-simeth.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

The business operates as a small freelance consultancy specializing in WordPress development and related services. It targets WordPress site owners, developers, and businesses needing custom solutions. The business model includes direct client projects, training courses, and plugin sales. The company has a strong market position in the German WordPress community, supported by a decade-plus of experience and multiple partnerships with training platforms and publishers. The website reflects a mature digital presence with clear branding and comprehensive service offerings.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and uses Cloudflare for DNS and likely CDN/protection. Matomo analytics is configured to disable cookies, enhancing privacy. However, the site lacks explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options. No security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are evident. Forms are present but no explicit anti-CSRF or advanced input validation details are visible. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced with additional headers and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and inform users about tracking, even if cookies are disabled.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures and improve security communication.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with modern HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, including responsive design and accessibility considerations. It uses Matomo for analytics with privacy settings to disable cookies. The site is hosted behind Cloudflare, providing DNS and security benefits. Performance is optimized with async/defer scripts and lazy loading images. Structured data (JSON-LD) is extensively used for SEO and rich snippets. No major technical debt or outdated technologies are evident. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and formalize privacy compliance mechanisms.
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.
