Freddy is a German-based organization focused on the collection and recycling of old mobile phones and smartphones. Their core business revolves around secure data deletion, environmental sustainability, and supporting social projects. The website positions Freddy as a socially responsible entity with certifications such as DEKRA and ISO, and media coverage that enhances its credibility. The target audience includes individuals and organizations interested in sustainable electronic waste management and data security. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with the Avada theme and uses modern plugins like Slider Revolution. Hosting is provided by Innofabrik, a reputable German hosting provider. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices but lacks some accessibility features. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but missing security headers and explicit privacy and cookie policies. No direct contact emails or phone numbers are found, only a contact form. There is no evidence of tracking or analytics services, indicating a privacy-conscious approach but also a lack of transparency in privacy compliance. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but could improve in privacy compliance and security best practices.

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.

Priority findings

7 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

  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

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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

Freddy operates in the non-profit sector with a focus on environmental sustainability and social impact through electronic waste recycling. Their business model involves collecting old mobile devices via collection points (FreddyBox and FreddyKarton), securely deleting data, and supporting social projects. The organization has established partnerships with municipalities and local governments, as evidenced by linked domains and media coverage. The market position is niche but socially significant, targeting environmentally conscious consumers and organizations. Growth potential exists through expanding collection points and partnerships. The website content and certifications support a credible and professional image, although direct business registration details are not disclosed. The lack of direct contact information may limit immediate customer engagement but aligns with a centralized contact form approach.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and HSTS, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The use of reputable WordPress plugins and themes suggests a baseline security level, but the absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contacts indicates limited preparedness for security incidents. The site does not implement cookie consent mechanisms, which is a GDPR compliance gap. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be significantly improved by implementing security headers, privacy policies, and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers such as CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance security.
  3. Provide explicit vulnerability disclosure and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Include direct company contact emails and phone numbers to improve user trust and communication.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Avada theme and Slider Revolution plugin, indicating a mature and flexible technical infrastructure. Hosting is managed by Innofabrik, a German hosting provider, which aligns with the website's regional focus. The site loads moderate resources including Google Fonts and jQuery, with asynchronous loading of scripts to optimize performance. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design elements and viewport meta tags. SEO is supported by meta descriptions and Open Graph tags, although some OG image tags are empty. Accessibility features are basic, with skip links and some ARIA attributes present. No advanced analytics or tracking scripts were detected, suggesting minimal data collection. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and security features.
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.
