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

Freiberger Brauhaus is a well-established traditional brewery in Germany with a rich heritage spanning approximately 175 years. The company focuses on producing pilsner and other beer varieties, emphasizing authenticity, tradition, and regional pride. Their business model includes beer production, brewery tours, events, and an online merchandise shop, targeting adult consumers interested in quality beer and cultural experiences. The website reflects a consistent brand identity and good content quality, supporting their market position as a reputable regional brewery. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager for analytics and Usercentrics for consent management, ensuring GDPR compliance. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and a moderate performance profile. However, no explicit CMS or hosting provider information is evident. Security best practices such as HTTPS and cookie consent are implemented, but security headers and incident response policies are not explicitly published. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates a solid baseline with HTTPS and age verification for alcohol-related content, indicating compliance with legal requirements. No vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected. Privacy compliance is strong with clear privacy and cookie policies. However, the absence of a security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with relevant regulations. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security and incident response policies, and improving accessibility features to further strengthen the security posture 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.

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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

Freiberger Brauhaus holds a strong position in the regional beer market, leveraging its long-standing tradition and cultural heritage as key competitive advantages. The company targets mature consumers who value authenticity and local identity. Revenue streams include beer sales, event hosting, brewery tours, and branded merchandise via an online shop. The partnership with responsible drinking initiatives and active social media presence supports brand reputation and customer engagement. Growth indicators include promotional campaigns and digital marketing efforts. The ecosystem includes partner sites promoting responsible alcohol consumption and dedicated campaign subdomains, reflecting a well-structured digital presence.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security maturity level with mandatory HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms in place. Age verification for alcohol content demonstrates regulatory compliance. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure reduces transparency and preparedness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The security score is positively influenced by encryption and privacy compliance but could be improved by implementing security headers and formalizing incident response processes. Overall, the security culture appears cautious but could benefit from enhanced documentation and proactive vulnerability management.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the site against common attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with JavaScript libraries like Slick Carousel and integrates Google Tag Manager and Usercentrics for analytics and consent management. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices with good SEO metadata. No CMS or backend platform is explicitly identified, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. Hosting details are not disclosed. The technical implementation supports a professional user experience but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and security header configurations.
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.
