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

Greyd GmbH operates the Greyd.Suite, an all-in-one WordPress platform designed to help freelancers, agencies, and enterprises scale their WordPress businesses efficiently. The company positions itself as a comprehensive solution provider with a unique block-based builder, centralized content and design management, and advanced features such as headless CMS capabilities and dynamic content management. Their market position is strengthened by a consistent brand presence, extensive feature set, and a focus on performance and accessibility. Technically, the website is built on WordPress 6.8.1 with a rich tech stack including custom plugins, Borlabs Cookie for GDPR-compliant consent management, and Chargebee for subscription billing. However, the security posture is weakened by an invalid SSL certificate and lack of modern TLS protocols, which poses risks to user data confidentiality and trust. The site demonstrates good SEO and accessibility practices, with comprehensive legal and privacy documentation. Overall, Greyd GmbH shows strong digital maturity but should urgently address SSL and TLS issues to improve security and user trust.

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

  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: SMB

      Port 445 (SMB) is publicly accessible - SMB - Windows file sharing, high risk

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to SMB 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
    • 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 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';…

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

Greyd GmbH targets the WordPress ecosystem, offering a SaaS model with a theme and plugin suite that centralizes website management and content delivery. Their competitive advantage lies in reducing plugin bloat, automating IT tasks, and enabling complex multi-site architectures. Revenue streams likely include subscriptions and licensing fees via Chargebee. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem, including payment processing with Chargebee and marketing integrations with HubSpot. Growth indicators include active blog content, demos, and a visible affiliate program. The company operates primarily in Germany and serves a medium-sized market segment with a focus on technology and digital marketing professionals.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate with significant gaps. While SPF and DMARC records are properly configured and cookie consent is managed with Borlabs Cookie, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols represent critical vulnerabilities. These issues expose the site to potential data interception and undermine user trust. DNSSEC is not enabled, reducing DNS security. No explicit incident response or security policy documentation was found. GDPR compliance is supported by comprehensive privacy and cookie policies. The security culture appears to prioritize privacy but lacks robust technical enforcement of transport security.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL certificate supporting TLS 1.2 or 1.3 to secure data in transit.
  2. Enable OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve SSL performance and security.
  3. Implement DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain integrity.
  4. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible to users.
  5. Regularly audit and update security headers and configurations to align with best practices.
Technical notes

Notes

The website infrastructure is based on WordPress 6.8.1 with a custom theme and plugin ecosystem (Greyd Plugin Suite). It uses jQuery and modern JavaScript libraries including Lottie for animations. Performance optimization is handled by WP Rocket. Cookie consent is managed by Borlabs Cookie, integrating with Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager conditionally based on user consent. Hosting is provided by kasserver.com with DNS and mail services configured accordingly. The site has moderate load times and resource counts, indicating room for optimization. The invalid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols represent technical debt and security risk. The site is well-structured with JSON-LD for SEO and uses modern web design and accessibility standards.
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.
