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

GIS Consult GmbH is a medium-sized German company specializing in Geoinformation Systems (GIS) solutions, serving industries such as energy, public sector, and telecommunications. Founded in 1996, the company operates multiple locations including subsidiaries in Kiel and Benelux, offering product development, maintenance, consulting, and training services. Their market position is strengthened by certifications and sponsorships, reflecting a solid reputation in the GIS domain. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins and frameworks, providing a good user experience and mobile optimization.

Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with GDPR, with room for improvement in security transparency and incident response readiness.

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

3 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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. 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

GIS Consult GmbH targets B2B clients in industry and government sectors, leveraging its expertise in Smallworld GIS and open-source geospatial technologies. The company benefits from a diversified service portfolio including software products, consulting, and support, which supports stable revenue streams. Their partnership ecosystem includes recognized certifications and sponsorships, enhancing credibility. The presence of multiple regional offices indicates strategic geographic coverage. The company emphasizes continuous improvement and environmental responsibility, aligning with modern business values. Growth indicators include active news updates and a comprehensive product offering.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent management, and use of CAPTCHA on forms. However, it lacks visible advanced security headers and dedicated security or incident response pages, which are important for transparency and trust. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a security.txt file and incident response contact channels suggests room for improvement in vulnerability disclosure and incident handling readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be enhanced to meet higher compliance and trust standards.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page including contact channels.
  2. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Add advanced HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using Elementor and Slider Revolution for content management and presentation. It employs Bootstrap 4 for responsive design and jQuery for scripting. Analytics are handled via Matomo, respecting user consent through Complianz GDPR plugin. The site uses Friendly Captcha to secure forms against bots. Performance is moderate with lazy loading implemented for images. Hosting is managed via DomainControl DNS services. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though some accessibility and security header improvements are recommended to reduce technical debt and enhance robustness.
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.
