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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

G DATA operates in the technology sector focusing on cybersecurity software and services. Their business model centers on software sales and subscription services targeting both private users and enterprises. The company has a strong brand with consistent messaging and a comprehensive service offering that includes endpoint protection, mobile security, and VPN. Their competitive advantage lies in their long history, German engineering reputation, and recognized certifications. The company maintains a broad partnership ecosystem and provides extensive customer support. Growth indicators include continuous product updates, security research, and active content marketing via blogs and newsrooms. The company’s operations are transparent and well-structured, supporting a large customer base primarily in Europe and expanding globally.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, multiple security headers, and a consent management platform ensuring GDPR compliance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page and explicit incident response contact emails limits transparency in security governance. The company’s certifications and awards indicate strong malware protection capabilities. The use of secure forms and regular updates to third-party scripts are positive indicators. Overall, the security posture is strong but could be improved by publishing detailed security policies and incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security frameworks and practices.
  2. Provide explicit incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  3. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Enhance transparency on data retention and processing policies related to analytics and cookies.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and scalable content management system suitable for enterprise use. It uses modern JavaScript libraries and integrates third-party services such as ConsentManager for cookie compliance and Matomo alongside Google Analytics for user tracking. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed by optimizing assets and scripts. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting a professional user experience. Hosting details are not explicitly identified but the presence of multiple DNS prefetch hints at a distributed content delivery approach. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with room for performance tuning.
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.
