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

GLOBIT is a medium-sized German technology company specializing in software solutions and consulting services for scientific societies and medical congress organizers. With over 25 years of experience, they provide a strategic partnership approach, focusing on enabling knowledge dissemination through their proprietary software platform K-IMPACT. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides clear contact information and privacy compliance mechanisms. Technically, the site uses modern frameworks like Bootstrap and integrates Cookiebot for cookie consent management. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a concern and warrants further investigation to confirm domain legitimacy. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional front for its niche market.

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. 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 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

  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

GLOBIT operates in the technology sector with a focus on healthcare-related scientific societies. Their business model centers on B2B software and consulting services, targeting scientific societies and event organizers globally. The company leverages its heritage as a Fraunhofer spin-off to emphasize technical expertise and partnership. Their market position is that of an established niche player with a strong emphasis on tailored solutions and integration capabilities. The website content and structure reflect a mature digital presence, supporting lead generation and client engagement. No social media presence was detected, which may limit broader market outreach. The company maintains compliance with GDPR and cookie regulations, enhancing trust with European clients.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism via Cookiebot, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, no HTTP security headers (such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options) were detected, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. There is no publicly available security policy or incident response contact, which limits transparency in security governance. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files were found. The absence of WHOIS data reduces trust in domain registration transparency. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by adopting best practices in HTTP headers, publishing security policies, and establishing incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy and a security.txt file to enhance transparency.
  4. Improve accessibility features to meet higher standards for users with disabilities.
  5. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to improve domain registration transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including Bootstrap 5.3.2 for responsive design and Google Fonts for typography. Cookiebot is integrated for cookie consent management, ensuring GDPR compliance. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation clarity and professional design. Performance is moderate, with no explicit hosting provider identified. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site build. Accessibility is basic and could be enhanced. SEO optimization is good with proper meta tags and structured content. No analytics services beyond Cookiebot were detected, indicating minimal user tracking. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business goals but could benefit from enhanced security and accessibility improvements.
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.
