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 revolves around software sales and subscription services targeting both individual consumers and corporate clients. The company leverages a strong brand reputation built over decades, supported by certifications and awards that enhance trust. Their partnership ecosystem includes dedicated portals for partners and affiliates, indicating a structured channel strategy. The presence of multiple regional domains and language versions suggests a broad European and global market reach. Growth indicators include active content marketing and continuous product updates. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear legal and privacy documentation, supporting compliance and customer confidence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, use of a consent management platform for GDPR compliance, and integration of reputable analytics tools. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. However, explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options were not clearly visible and should be implemented or documented to enhance protection against clickjacking and MIME-type attacks. Incident response information and a dedicated security policy page are not prominently available, which could be improved to increase transparency and readiness. The company’s certifications and awards in malware protection and email security indicate strong internal security capabilities. Overall, the security score is high but with room for improvement in policy transparency and header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and incident response procedures.
  2. Implement and explicitly configure security headers like X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide clear contact channels for security incidents, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Consider publishing a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting by external researchers.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and flexible content management system suitable for enterprise-grade websites. The tech stack includes modern JavaScript libraries and integrates a consent management platform to comply with privacy regulations. Analytics are handled via Google Analytics and Matomo, balancing commercial and open-source tools. The site loads with moderate performance and is optimized for mobile devices, providing a good user experience. SEO practices are well implemented with proper meta tags, alternate language links, and structured data in JSON-LD format. Hosting details are not explicitly identified but the use of Azure-related certifications suggests cloud infrastructure involvement. Technical risks are minimal, with no visible outdated or vulnerable components. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and improve incident response transparency.
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.
