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

DEGA GRÜNER MARKT is a specialized German media publication focused on the green industry and garden retail sector. It offers current news, industry reports, and subscription-based magazine content both online and in print. The website is professionally designed with a consistent brand presence and targets a broad audience within the garden retail industry. The business operates under Verlag Eugen Ulmer, a known publishing company in Germany. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, AlpineJS, and Glide.js for UI components, and integrates Matomo and Google Tag Manager for analytics with a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism (Klaro). The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured navigation. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and respects user privacy preferences in analytics tracking. However, no explicit security headers or vulnerability disclosure policies are found, and WHOIS data is minimal with generic nameservers, which slightly reduces trust but does not indicate malicious intent. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with good business credibility and technical maturity. Strategic improvements could include publishing a privacy policy and terms of service, enhancing security headers, and providing explicit contact information for security incidents.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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';…
  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

The website serves a niche market in the garden retail media sector, providing industry news, product information, and event coverage. Its subscription model and newsletter offerings indicate a revenue stream based on content access and advertising. The presence of advertising via AdSpirit and partnerships with Verlag Eugen Ulmer suggest a stable business ecosystem. The site targets professionals and businesses in the green industry, positioning itself as a trusted source of information. Growth potential lies in digital content expansion and enhanced user engagement through newsletters and events.

Security posture

The security posture is moderate to good. HTTPS is enforced, and user consent for tracking is managed via Klaro, respecting GDPR requirements. Analytics tools like Matomo are configured to disable tracking on excluded paths and hosts. However, the absence of visible security headers (CSP, HSTS, etc.) and lack of a published security policy or incident response contact reduce the overall security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site would benefit from formalizing security policies and improving header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage.
  2. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a security.txt file or a dedicated security incident response contact page.
  4. Provide clear company contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer and security inquiries.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom CMS platform with modern front-end technologies including jQuery 3.6.0, AlpineJS 3.10.2, and Glide.js for interactive components. Font Awesome is used for icons. Analytics are handled by Matomo and Google Tag Manager, integrated with a GDPR-compliant cookie consent tool (Klaro). The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices, with accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles. Hosting details are not explicit, but DNS uses generic routing.net nameservers. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and deferred JavaScript. The site structure and metadata support good SEO. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and formalize privacy and security documentation.
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.
