The website offers CMSimple templates, plugins, and installation services, targeting small businesses and individuals in the Berlin-Brandenburg region. The business emphasizes over 20 years of experience and provides a general license for its templates and plugins. Technically, the website is built on CMSimple 5.21 with jQuery 1.12.4 and standard HTML/CSS, showing good mobile optimization and SEO practices but lacking modern security headers and cookie consent mechanisms.

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

9 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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';…

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 · found on this site
  • 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

The company operates in the technology sector, focusing on web design and CMSimple-related products and services. Its market position is niche and local, with a business model centered on service provision and digital product sales (templates and plugins). Revenue streams likely include web design projects and template/plugin licenses. The target audience is primarily small businesses and individuals in Berlin and Brandenburg. The website shows consistent branding and professional content but lacks extensive contact details or social media presence. No partnerships or subsidiaries are evident. Growth indicators include a long operational history and a loyal user base for CMSimple products. Strategic observations suggest focusing on expanding digital marketing and enhancing security and privacy compliance to build greater trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. It uses HTTPS (assumed but not confirmed in HTML), no security headers are detected, and it employs an outdated jQuery version which could pose risks. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. No exposed sensitive data or known vulnerabilities are found in the content. The site lacks advanced security frameworks or certifications. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small business but requires improvements in SSL configuration, security headers, library updates, and privacy mechanisms to reduce risk and enhance compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  2. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to their latest secure versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Verify and enforce HTTPS with strong SSL/TLS configurations and regularly monitor certificate validity.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact to improve security transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on CMSimple 5.21, a lightweight CMS, using HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript with jQuery 1.12.4. The site loads moderate performance scripts including multimedia sliders and image galleries. Mobile optimization is good with responsive templates. SEO is supported by meta keywords and descriptions. However, the site lacks modern security headers and uses an outdated jQuery version. Hosting appears to be with kasserver.com based on nameservers. No analytics or tracking scripts are present, indicating minimal technical overhead but also limited user behavior insights. The site structure and navigation are clear and user-friendly. Technical debt is moderate due to older libraries and missing security best practices. Modernization opportunities include updating libraries, adding security headers, and implementing privacy compliance tools.
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.
