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

i-fabrik GmbH is a well-established digital agency based in Leipzig, Germany, specializing in the conception, design, and development of websites, intranets, and digital platforms primarily using TYPO3 CMS. With over 25 years of experience, the company serves a diverse clientele including educational institutions, healthcare providers, energy companies, and public sector organizations. Their offerings include custom web development, PR software, intranet solutions, and seminar management software, positioning them as a comprehensive digital partner for businesses seeking tailored digital transformation solutions. The website reflects a strong market position with professional branding and a clear focus on quality and customer collaboration. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS with modern web technologies such as FontAwesome Pro and Swiper.js for UI components. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices, SEO-friendly, and integrates Google reCAPTCHA for form security. Hosting appears stable with nameservers indicating a reputable provider. The site employs a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements, enhancing privacy compliance. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and integrates security best practices like CAPTCHA and cookie consent. However, it lacks explicit security policy documentation and incident response contact details, which are recommended for enhanced trust and compliance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved with additional transparency and headers. The overall risk assessment is low, with the website demonstrating professionalism, compliance, and technical maturity. Strategic recommendations include publishing a dedicated security policy, adding incident response contacts, and implementing additional security headers to further strengthen the security posture and user trust.

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. 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. 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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

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.

Business context

Business profile

i-fabrik GmbH operates as a specialized digital agency with a focus on TYPO3 CMS-based solutions, serving medium-sized enterprises and public institutions primarily in Germany. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing experience, comprehensive service portfolio, and strong client base including universities, hospitals, and energy companies. The business model revolves around full-service digital project delivery, including conception, design, development, hosting, and maintenance. Revenue streams likely include project fees, software licensing (e.g., PRINS, ONIX, BISON), and ongoing support contracts. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem with TYPO3 and has received industry recognition such as the German Web Awards. Growth indicators include a well-maintained website, active social media presence, and a digital magazine for thought leadership. Strategic observations suggest a stable market position with opportunities to enhance security transparency and incident response readiness.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, integration of Google reCAPTCHA for form protection, and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism supporting GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and security.txt files indicates room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not evident, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. The use of reputable hosting and stable domain registration further supports security trustworthiness. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be elevated by adopting additional best practices and publishing clear security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Maintain and regularly update cookie and privacy policies to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance and user trust.

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.
