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. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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 targets organizations needing GDPR compliance tools, including SMEs, large enterprises, and external data protection officers. Its competitive advantage lies in the integration of multiple compliance modules, ease of use without deep legal expertise, and strong security certifications. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees and consulting partnerships. The partnership with Datenschutz Pöllinger GmbH enhances service offerings with expert consulting. The website content and structure reflect a mature digital presence with clear navigation and comprehensive feature descriptions, supporting customer acquisition and retention. Growth potential is supported by increasing regulatory demands for data protection in the EU. No suspicious or conflicting business information was detected.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, strong encryption standards, and hosting in ISO 27001 certified facilities. Two-factor authentication is implemented, enhancing user account security. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content Security Policy and HSTS is a minor gap. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are publicly available, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security measures align well with GDPR compliance and industry best practices, minimizing risk exposure.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  2. Add explicit HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to harden security.
  3. Introduce a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with EU cookie laws and enhance privacy compliance.
  4. Provide direct contact information for security incidents or data protection officer to improve trust and compliance.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality, enhanced by German Market plugins tailored for local compliance. It uses jQuery and Bootstrap for frontend interactivity and layout. Matomo analytics is used for privacy-conscious visitor tracking. The site is hosted in ISO 27001 certified German data centers, ensuring compliance with strict data security standards. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The site includes comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data for SEO and social sharing. Some technical improvements could be made in security headers and cookie consent implementation to further enhance compliance and security posture.
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.
