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. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. 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.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

  4. 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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention freiberger-pils.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for freiberger-pils.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 brewery operates in the manufacturing sector, focusing on beer production and related merchandise sales. It maintains a medium-sized business profile with a strong regional market position supported by active marketing campaigns and community engagement. The company leverages digital channels including social media and an online shop to reach customers. Partnerships with responsible drinking initiatives are evident. The business model combines traditional brewing with modern e-commerce and event marketing. No parent or subsidiary companies beyond the online shop and campaign subdomains were identified. The company demonstrates consistent branding and trust signals such as compliance pages and age verification.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. Age verification for alcohol-related content shows responsible content management. However, explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS were not detected in the provided data, representing an area for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, which could enhance transparency and security readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from additional security best practices and published incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish explicit incident response and abuse contact information to improve transparency and readiness for security incidents.
  3. Consider adding a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with accessibility standards and broaden user inclusivity.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities or privacy issues arise from external dependencies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based front-end with libraries such as Slick Slider for UI components and Usercentrics for GDPR-compliant consent management. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tags. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices, with appropriate meta tags and canonical URLs for SEO. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. Hosting details are not disclosed but DNS uses multiple name servers under ns14.net, indicating professional DNS management. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. The site could improve accessibility and security headers to further enhance technical robustness.
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.
