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.

Priority findings

6 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 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

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 HWB operates as an essential entity in the real estate sector, targeting broad population segments in Hofheim am Taunus. Their business model centers on providing affordable and socially responsible housing solutions, supported by city development initiatives and tenant services. The company demonstrates transparency through published reports and active social media engagement. Certifications and memberships reinforce credibility. The website content and structure support clear communication of services and community involvement, indicating a mature and stable business with growth potential in regional housing markets.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. The use of an outdated jQuery version could expose the site to known vulnerabilities. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could hinder rapid mitigation of security issues. Privacy compliance is partial, with cookie consent mechanisms commented out, potentially risking GDPR non-compliance. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be enhanced with modern best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Activate a cookie consent mechanism to ensure full GDPR compliance and user transparency.
  3. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current supported versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  4. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and preparedness.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional jQuery-based frontend with additional plugins for UI enhancements such as parallax scrolling, slick carousel, chosen selects, and magnific popup. The site is mobile responsive and well-structured with semantic HTML and CSS. Performance is moderate, likely due to older libraries and multiple CSS files. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. No CMS or hosting provider is explicitly identified. The site uses Matomo analytics, indicating a preference for privacy-friendly tracking. Technical debt is moderate due to legacy jQuery version and lack of modern security headers, presenting opportunities for modernization and improved security.
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.
