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

Glende.Consulting GmbH & Co. KG is a specialized consulting firm based in Germany focusing on data protection and information security services. Their offerings include external data protection officer services, audits, NIS-2 compliance consulting, cyber risk assessments, and executive training. The company positions itself as a trusted partner for businesses needing to comply with evolving EU regulations such as GDPR and NIS-2. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear contact information and membership in relevant industry associations, indicating a credible market presence. Technically, the website is built on Joomla! CMS with UIkit and Yootheme frameworks, ensuring a modern and responsive user experience. Accessibility features are implemented, and the site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration. However, some security headers are missing, and no cookie consent mechanism is present, which could be improved for better compliance and security posture. Security-wise, the site demonstrates good practices such as CSRF tokens and no exposed sensitive data. The absence of explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies suggests room for enhancement in transparency and readiness. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy. The risk assessment indicates a low threat level with no suspicious content or vulnerabilities detected. Strategic recommendations include implementing cookie consent, adding security headers, and publishing clear security and incident response policies to strengthen trust and compliance.

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

6 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. 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

  3. 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

Glende.Consulting operates in a niche market of data protection and information security consulting, targeting German companies affected by GDPR and NIS-2 regulations. Their competitive advantage lies in combining legal expertise with practical, process-oriented consulting. Revenue streams likely come from consulting contracts, audits, training workshops, and ongoing external DSB services. The company maintains a professional partnership ecosystem, including memberships in BvD e.V., GDD, and the Allianz für Cyber-Sicherheit, enhancing credibility. Growth indicators include a clear focus on emerging regulatory requirements and digital transformation topics such as AI in business. The website content and structure support a customer-centric approach emphasizing trust and compliance.

Security posture

The website's security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data leaks. The use of CSRF tokens in forms and accessibility features indicates attention to secure and inclusive design. However, the lack of security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could expose the site to certain attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which limits transparency and preparedness. GDPR compliance is mostly addressed but could be improved with a cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the security maturity is good for a small consulting firm but can be enhanced to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR cookie regulations.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and clients.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to enhance transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party libraries and CMS components to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Joomla! CMS with Yootheme templates and UIkit framework, providing a modern and responsive design. It employs web components and Awesomplete for enhanced UI features. Hosting is via rzone.de as indicated by nameservers. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features implemented. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal user tracking. The site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, but lacks some recommended security headers. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable and suitable for a professional consulting website.
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.
