HAAS Media GmbH operates as a regional media and marketing services provider under the HAAS Mediengruppe umbrella, offering a broad portfolio of multichannel advertising solutions including digital and print media. The company targets businesses seeking tailored communication strategies in local markets, leveraging its strong regional presence and multiple media brands. The website is professionally designed, content-rich, and optimized for SEO and mobile use, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with integration of modern marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Mouseflow, all managed with a robust consent management platform ensuring GDPR compliance. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though security headers and explicit security policies could be improved. Overall, the domain appears legitimate despite privacy-protected WHOIS data, supported by consistent branding, references, and compliance measures.

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

5 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 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 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  4. 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 company holds a solid position in the regional media market, leveraging a diversified service offering that includes search engine advertising, SEO, storytelling, video, podcasts, and print media. Its business model focuses on providing integrated marketing campaigns across multiple channels to local businesses. The presence of a parent company (HAAS Mediengruppe) and multiple branded media outlets indicates a stable organizational structure. The website's references and client success stories enhance credibility and suggest ongoing business growth. The company uses advanced marketing technologies and analytics to optimize campaigns and user engagement, indicating a data-driven approach. However, direct contact details like phone numbers or emails are not openly published, possibly to reduce spam, relying instead on contact forms and appointment booking.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. The use of a consent management platform and integration of tracking scripts only after consent indicates strong privacy awareness. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is common but limits direct verification of registrant details. Overall, the site is secure for users but could enhance trust by publishing more explicit security and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure they remain secure and compliant with privacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO plugin for search optimization. It uses modern JavaScript libraries and integrates multiple marketing and analytics services including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, Mouseflow, and SalesViewer. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple external scripts and tracking pixels. The consent management platform ensures compliance with GDPR and cookie regulations. No hosting provider details were identified from the HTML content. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though opportunities exist to improve security headers and accessibility compliance.
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.
