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

Immowelt.de is a leading German real estate portal operated by AVIV Germany GmbH, offering a comprehensive platform for property search, rental, purchase, and related services such as financing and moving assistance. The website targets private individuals and real estate professionals seeking residential and commercial properties across Germany. It holds a strong market position, evidenced by multiple awards and partnerships with reputable service providers like SCHUFA and Interhyp. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including React and integrates a consent management platform (Usercentrics) for GDPR compliance. Hosting is managed via Amazon AWS, ensuring reliable performance and scalability. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with a clean, professional design and clear navigation. From a security perspective, immowelt.de enforces HTTPS, implements key security headers, and avoids exposing sensitive data in its HTML content. However, explicit security policies and incident response information are not publicly available, representing an area for improvement. Privacy compliance is partially addressed through the use of a consent management platform, but the absence of a clearly accessible privacy policy and terms of service reduces overall compliance confidence. Overall, immowelt.de presents a trustworthy and professional online presence with strong business credibility and technical maturity. Strategic enhancements in privacy transparency and security documentation would further strengthen its risk 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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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';…
  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

Immowelt.de operates as a major player in the German real estate market, providing a digital marketplace that connects buyers, renters, sellers, and real estate professionals. Its business model revolves around listing services, advertising, and value-added offerings such as financing calculators and credit reports. The portal's competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive service ecosystem, brand recognition, and strategic partnerships. Revenue streams likely include advertising fees, premium listing services, and referral commissions from financing partners. The target customer segments include private individuals seeking housing and professionals in the real estate sector. Growth indicators include repeated industry awards and a broad service portfolio. The company maintains a professional partnership ecosystem but does not publicly disclose parent or subsidiary relationships.

Security posture

Immowelt.de demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, robust security headers, and secure form implementations. The use of a consent management platform indicates attention to privacy compliance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response procedures, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Compliance with GDPR is partially evident but could be enhanced by providing comprehensive privacy documentation and clear contact channels for security incidents. Overall, the site balances strong technical security with gaps in policy communication.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive and easily accessible privacy policy detailing data processing and user rights.
  2. Add explicit terms of service to clarify user obligations and legal protections.
  3. Develop and publish a security policy and incident response plan to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  4. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Provide clear contact information for the Data Protection Officer or privacy/security contacts.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React framework with asynchronous JavaScript loading and optimized asset delivery, contributing to fast performance and excellent mobile responsiveness. Hosting on AWS DNS infrastructure supports scalability and reliability. The integration of Usercentrics CMP and Google Tag Manager reflects a mature approach to privacy and analytics. Accessibility features such as ARIA attributes and keyboard navigation support are present. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical risks are minimal, with no outdated or vulnerable libraries detected. Opportunities exist to further modernize by adopting progressive web app features and enhancing privacy policy integration.
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.
