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

free-com solutions GmbH is an established Austrian technology company specializing in intuitive digitalization and automation solutions for document-driven business processes. With over 20 years of experience, they offer a range of products including invoice processing, expense management, and integration with SAP and Microsoft 365 platforms. Their solutions target both small and medium-sized enterprises as well as large corporations, emphasizing user-friendly interfaces and mobile accessibility. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with the Avada theme, leveraging modern tools like WP Rocket for performance and Borlabs Cookie for privacy compliance. However, a critical security gap exists due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS, which significantly impacts the site's security posture. Privacy and cookie policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, with active consent mechanisms in place. The company maintains a strong online presence with multiple social media channels and detailed business information, enhancing trust and credibility. Overall, while the business and content quality are excellent, addressing the SSL/TLS deficiency is paramount to improve security and user trust.

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

8 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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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
  • 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

free-com holds a solid market position in the technology sector, focusing on business process automation and digital transformation solutions. Their competitive advantage lies in user-centric design and comprehensive integration capabilities with major platforms like SAP and Microsoft 365. The business model is B2B, serving diverse industries with scalable solutions. The company demonstrates growth potential through active content marketing, success stories, and strategic partnerships. Their ecosystem includes related domains and social media channels that reinforce brand visibility and customer engagement. The absence of privacy protection in WHOIS data aligns with their transparent business approach, supporting legitimacy.

Security posture

The current security posture of free-com's website is weak due to the lack of a valid SSL certificate and absence of HTTPS, exposing users to potential data interception risks. While some security headers like X-Content-Type-Options are present, critical protections such as HSTS, OCSP stapling, and modern TLS protocols are missing. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are found, which could hinder timely handling of security events. Privacy compliance is well-managed with cookie consent mechanisms, but the overall security framework requires significant enhancement to meet industry best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Immediately obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire website.
  2. Enable and enforce modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable outdated protocols.
  3. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  4. Activate OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve security and performance.
  5. Publish a security.txt file detailing security policies and incident response contacts.
  6. Regularly audit and update security headers to cover all recommended protections.
  7. Enhance transparency by providing explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure information.
  8. Maintain and monitor privacy compliance with ongoing updates to cookie and data protection policies.
  9. Optimize website performance metrics and ensure accessibility standards are fully met.
  10. Continue leveraging social media and success stories to strengthen business credibility and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS using the Avada theme, incorporating jQuery and various optimization plugins like WP Rocket. It integrates third-party services such as Calendly for scheduling and Borlabs Cookie for consent management. The site uses Cloudflare as a hosting and caching provider, enhancing availability and performance. However, performance data is missing, and the SSL configuration is critically lacking, with no valid certificate or TLS protocols enabled. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured data. Technical risks include the absence of HTTPS, which could impact user trust and search engine rankings. Modernization opportunities include improving SSL deployment, enhancing performance metrics, and expanding accessibility 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.
