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

2 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.

    • 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. 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

Haufe Group's business model centers on B2B SaaS, digital content, and consulting services with a strong focus on corporate customers in regulated sectors such as HR, tax, legal, and sustainability. The company leverages a partner ecosystem including subsidiaries like Advolux and Rudolf AI to expand its offerings. The website content and customer testimonials indicate a strong market position and customer satisfaction. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a controlled communication channel via contact forms and account portals. The company maintains a consistent brand image and demonstrates compliance with GDPR through integrated consent management.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of a consent management platform to comply with privacy regulations. No security headers were explicitly detected in the HTML content, which could be improved. There is no published security policy or incident response contact information, which are recommended best practices. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and Usercentrics is standard but requires ongoing monitoring for security risks. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from enhanced transparency and additional security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and frameworks.
  2. Provide explicit incident response and abuse contact channels on the website.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Webflow CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery and Slick Slider for UI components. It uses Usercentrics for GDPR-compliant cookie consent and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. Hosting is via Webflow's CDN and custom CDNs, ensuring fast performance and global availability. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags, Open Graph, and hreflang tags. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and incident response transparency.
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.
