Hirsch-Brauerei is a German brewery specializing in high-quality beer products made from local ingredients and pure spring water. The company targets adult consumers over 16 years old and offers a range of services including brewery tours, a museum, self-brewing experiences, and an online shop. The website is built on TYPO3 CMS and features modern multimedia content and a clear navigation structure. Privacy compliance is well managed with Cookiebot providing detailed cookie consent mechanisms. However, explicit contact information and security policies are not prominently published.

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.
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"
This scan found 26 issues across 6 checks. Monitoring re-runs those checks daily, emails you when something material changes and records each fix, so you can show progress.

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
The brewery holds a strong regional market position with a focus on quality and local sourcing. Its business model combines manufacturing with visitor engagement and e-commerce. Partnerships with related brands and shops enhance its market reach. The website supports brand consistency and provides relevant content for its mature audience. Growth potential lies in expanding digital presence and enhancing security and compliance transparency.
Security posture
The website employs HTTPS and a robust cookie consent framework, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and security.txt files suggests gaps in security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing security policies, and establishing formal vulnerability disclosure channels to strengthen trust and compliance.
Recommendations
Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options.
Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide incident response contact information.
Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
Regularly audit third-party scripts and update CMS and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes
Notes
The website uses TYPO3 CMS with modern HTML5 and JavaScript technologies, including video backgrounds and responsive design. Cookiebot is integrated for consent management. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and canonical URLs. The site lacks visible advanced technical security configurations and detailed hosting information. Technical debt appears low but could be improved by adopting security best practices 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.
