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

Hirsch Brauerei is a regional German brewery specializing in high-quality beer products made from local ingredients and spring water. The company targets adult consumers over 16 years, emphasizing responsible alcohol consumption and offering visitor experiences such as brewery tours and seminars. Their market position is that of a well-established regional brewery with a consistent brand presence and multiple sales channels including online shops and partner retailers. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS with modern frontend frameworks like Bootstrap, and integrates GDPR-compliant cookie consent via Cookiebot. Analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics and Userback are used with user consent. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though security headers and explicit security policies are absent. Overall, the site is professional, accessible, and compliant with privacy regulations, but lacks explicit contact and security policy disclosures.

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. 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. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 business operates in the hospitality and retail sectors, focusing on beer manufacturing and related visitor services. Their competitive advantage lies in local sourcing, quality production, and a strong regional brand. The business model combines product sales with experiential offerings. Partnerships with related domains like trink-kitz.de and hirsch-erlebniswald.de enhance their ecosystem. The website content and structure support clear navigation and product discovery, indicating a mature digital presence. Growth indicators include multiple sales channels and active marketing tools. However, absence of detailed contact info and legal pages may limit trust for some users.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS and cookie consent management in place. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the lack of security headers (CSP, HSTS, etc.) and absence of a published security policy or incident response contact reduce the overall security posture. Compliance with GDPR is evident through Cookiebot integration and consent mechanisms. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure are not addressed publicly. The security culture appears basic but functional, with room for improvement in transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Add a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.
  4. Include explicit company contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer and security inquiries.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and integrations to ensure no vulnerabilities or privacy issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS, a robust open-source content management system, combined with Bootstrap for responsive design. Cookiebot manages GDPR cookie consent effectively. Google Analytics and Userback provide analytics and user feedback capabilities. The site loads videos and images efficiently with modern HTML5 video tags and responsive images. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles are implemented. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and asset optimization. Hosting provider details are not explicit but DNS servers suggest professional hosting. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a stable and user-friendly experience with opportunities for enhanced security and performance tuning.
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.
