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

The website hostedpiwik.de serves as a login portal for the Matomo hosted analytics platform, a free/libre web analytics service. It primarily targets website owners and administrators who use Matomo for tracking and analyzing web traffic. The business model is SaaS-based, providing hosted analytics services leveraging the Matomo platform. The site is technically built using AngularJS and jQuery, hosted on German infrastructure, and employs HTTPS for secure communications. However, the site content is minimal, focusing solely on user authentication without public-facing business or legal information. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes basic anti-framing measures to prevent clickjacking. The login form uses POST method and includes nonce tokens, indicating some protection against CSRF. However, the absence of security headers and visible privacy or cookie policies indicates room for improvement in security posture and compliance. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, and no vulnerabilities were apparent from the content. Overall, the site demonstrates a moderate level of technical maturity but lacks comprehensive privacy, security, and business transparency information. This limits trust and compliance confidence. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy disclosures, and contact information would enhance the site's credibility and compliance stance.

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

7 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.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

  2. 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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

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

hostedpiwik.de operates as a niche SaaS provider offering hosted Matomo analytics services. Its market positioning is focused on users seeking privacy-respecting, open-source web analytics solutions. The platform's competitive advantage lies in leveraging the popular Matomo analytics engine with hosted convenience. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees for hosting and support. The target customers are website owners valuing data privacy and control. The absence of detailed business or contact information on the login page suggests a small or specialized operation. The hosting on German infrastructure aligns with privacy-conscious European markets. No visible partnerships or subsidiaries were identified.

Security posture

The website exhibits a basic but sound security posture with enforced HTTPS and anti-clickjacking measures. The login form includes nonce tokens and uses POST, reducing CSRF and injection risks. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces defense-in-depth. No visible privacy or cookie policies limit GDPR compliance confidence. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved by adopting standard security headers, publishing privacy and security policies, and implementing stronger user authentication protections.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies clearly accessible from the login page.
  3. Add contact information and security incident response details to improve transparency and compliance.
  4. Enhance login security with rate limiting, CAPTCHA, and multi-factor authentication options.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The site uses AngularJS and jQuery libraries, with Matomo as the core analytics platform. The hosting is on German servers with DNS managed by dt-internet.de. The site is served over HTTPS with no visible performance optimizations or advanced SEO features. The design is minimal and functional but lacks mobile optimization and accessibility features. No CMS is detected; the platform appears custom-built around Matomo. The absence of modern frameworks or progressive enhancement suggests technical debt and modernization opportunities. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but basic, suitable for a login portal but limited in scalability and user experience.
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.
