Risk levelMedium

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

Hoermann-Akademie is an educational platform affiliated with the Hoermann brand, providing training and knowledge resources primarily targeting professionals and learners in Germany. The website uses modern web technologies including Vue.js, Bootstrap 5, and Kendo UI, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is mobile optimized and moderately performant but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protection, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are recommended for enhanced protection. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism detected. Overall, the website is legitimate and professionally branded but could improve in privacy and security practices to better align with GDPR and industry standards.

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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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. 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 website positions itself as a niche educational service provider within the Hoermann group, focusing on professional training and knowledge dissemination. Its business model revolves around e-learning and training services, targeting professionals and learners in Germany. The domain age and WHOIS data support a stable and consistent business presence since 2015. The lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the main page suggests reliance on contact forms for communication. The use of Google Tag Manager indicates some level of marketing and analytics sophistication. No certifications or security policies are publicly disclosed, which could be an area for future development to enhance trust and compliance.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is moderate. HTTPS is properly implemented, and the domain status clientTransferProhibited adds a layer of domain security. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security robustness. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The site lacks published security policies or incident response contacts, which limits transparency and readiness in case of security incidents. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. Overall, the site is secure enough for general use but should enhance security controls and privacy mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  4. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
  5. Improve SEO and accessibility features to enhance user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom CMS using modern JavaScript frameworks such as Vue.js, with UI components from Kendo UI and Bootstrap 5 for responsive design. The site loads multiple CSS and JS bundles efficiently and uses Google Tag Manager for analytics. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. The absence of CMS identification suggests a proprietary or heavily customized platform. DNS is managed via accenion.de name servers, but no DNSSEC is enabled. The site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. Technical debt appears low but could be improved by adding security headers and enhancing SEO metadata.
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.
