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

G DATA CyberDefense AG is a well-established cybersecurity company providing comprehensive IT security solutions and managed services primarily targeting businesses and private customers in Austria and Germany. Their offerings include managed detection and response (MXDR), endpoint security software, security awareness training, OEM solutions, and incident response services. The company emphasizes 'Made in Germany' IT security, underscored by their ISO 27001:2022 certification and multiple industry awards, positioning them as a trusted leader in the cybersecurity market. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and rich in relevant content, supporting a strong digital presence. Technically, the site uses TYPO3 CMS with modern JavaScript libraries and integrates consent management and analytics tools responsibly. Security posture is robust with HTTPS, security best practices, and clear incident response contact channels. However, WHOIS data is unavailable, which limits domain registration trust verification but is offset by strong business and security indicators. Overall, the site reflects a mature, secure, and trustworthy cybersecurity provider with a strong focus on compliance and customer support.

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

4 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. 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.

Business context

Business profile

G DATA CyberDefense AG operates in the cybersecurity technology sector with a broad service portfolio addressing various industries including critical infrastructure, finance, healthcare, education, and public sector. Their business model combines software sales, managed security services, and training, targeting enterprises of all sizes. The company leverages certifications and industry memberships to build trust and competitive advantage. Their partnership ecosystem includes dedicated portals and affiliate programs, enhancing market reach. The company’s digital strategy includes comprehensive content marketing with case studies, webinars, and whitepapers. Growth indicators include continuous certification updates and award recognitions. The company maintains a strong regional focus on German-speaking markets, emphasizing data protection and compliance.

Security posture

The website and company demonstrate a high level of security maturity. The presence of ISO 27001:2022 certification indicates a formalized information security management system. The website enforces HTTPS and employs security headers, consent management, and incident response mechanisms. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the site content. The company provides clear channels for incident response and vulnerability reporting, enhancing readiness. GDPR compliance is evident through privacy and cookie policies. However, the absence of a published security.txt file and explicit Data Protection Officer contact are areas for improvement. DNSSEC is not confirmed, which could be enhanced for DNS security. Overall, the security posture supports business continuity and customer trust effectively.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a security.txt file at the root domain to facilitate vulnerability disclosure.
  2. Provide explicit contact information for the Data Protection Officer to enhance GDPR transparency.
  3. Implement DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance documentation and visibility of data retention policies to improve privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and secure content management system, combined with modern JavaScript libraries such as Swiper.js for UI components and ConsentManager.net for cookie consent management. Analytics are handled via Google Analytics and Matomo, balancing tracking needs with privacy compliance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading speed. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable digital presence. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but the site uses HTTPS with strong SSL configuration. The site architecture supports clear navigation and user experience, with comprehensive metadata and structured data for SEO. Opportunities exist to enhance DNS security and publish additional security documentation.
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.
