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

The website hostedpiwik.de serves as a login portal for the Matomo web analytics platform, offering hosted analytics services. It targets users who require access to Matomo's free/libre analytics platform, positioning itself as a technology service provider in the web analytics sector. The site provides key services including web analytics hosting and access to Matomo's analytics tools. The business model appears to be SaaS or hosted service based, catering primarily to website owners and analysts seeking privacy-focused analytics solutions. Technically, the site is built using AngularJS and jQuery, leveraging the Matomo analytics platform. It is hosted on servers associated with German internet providers (dt-internet.de). The site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration, ensuring encrypted communication. However, the technical implementation lacks visible security headers and comprehensive SEO or accessibility features, indicating room for improvement in technical maturity. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses nonce tokens in login forms, which are positive security practices. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and HSTS reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies, and no contact or incident response information is publicly available. Overall, the website is functional and moderately secure but lacks comprehensive privacy disclosures and security hardening. The risk level is moderate, primarily due to missing compliance documentation and security headers. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, enhancing accessibility and SEO, and providing clear contact and incident response channels to improve trust and compliance.

  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

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 service provider offering hosted Matomo analytics, targeting website owners and analysts who prefer open-source, privacy-respecting analytics solutions. Its competitive advantage lies in providing a managed Matomo environment, reducing the technical burden on users. The business model likely involves subscription or usage-based fees for hosted analytics. The absence of detailed company information and contact data limits visibility into revenue streams and growth indicators. The partnership ecosystem is minimal based on available data, with matomo.org being the primary related domain. Strategic observations suggest a focus on privacy and open-source values, appealing to privacy-conscious customers in the technology sector.

Security posture

The security maturity of hostedpiwik.de is moderate. The site enforces HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and uses nonce tokens in login forms, which mitigate common web security risks. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security weakens defenses against clickjacking, MIME sniffing, and protocol downgrade attacks. No explicit vulnerability disclosures or incident response mechanisms are visible, indicating potential gaps in security governance and transparency. Privacy compliance is limited due to missing privacy and cookie policies. The site does not expose sensitive data in the HTML, which is positive. Overall, while basic security practices are in place, enhancements are needed to meet higher security and compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish clear and accessible privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Provide visible contact information and establish incident response and vulnerability disclosure channels to enhance transparency and security readiness.
  4. Enhance accessibility and SEO features to improve user experience and search engine visibility.
  5. Consider adding multi-factor authentication and other advanced login security measures to protect user accounts.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses AngularJS and jQuery libraries, indicating a somewhat dated but functional front-end technology stack. It is built on the Matomo analytics platform, which is open-source and widely used for privacy-focused analytics. Hosting is provided by German internet providers as indicated by the nameservers. The site loads JavaScript resources via proxy modules, suggesting some level of resource management. Performance appears moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. The lack of modern frameworks or CMS indicates a custom or specialized platform. Technical debt may exist due to older frameworks and missing security headers. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack, improve performance, and enhance security configurations.
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.
