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

itdesign GmbH is a German technology company specializing in software and consulting services focused on project and portfolio management (PPM) and customer relationship management (CRM). The company positions itself as a provider of high-quality software solutions and consulting from a single source, targeting businesses seeking to optimize their project and customer management processes. The website reflects a professional and modern digital presence, leveraging WordPress CMS with a custom theme and hosted on Amazon AWS infrastructure, indicating a mature technical setup. From a security perspective, the website is accessible without any WAF or security challenge interference. However, it lacks visible security headers and publicly available security or incident response policies, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance. Privacy and cookie policies are not detected, which is a compliance gap especially relevant under GDPR regulations. The absence of explicit contact information such as emails or phone numbers on the main page limits direct communication channels for users. Overall, the website demonstrates good technical implementation and business credibility but requires improvements in privacy compliance and security posture to align with best practices. Strategic recommendations include publishing comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms, implementing security headers, and providing clear incident response contacts to strengthen user trust and regulatory compliance.

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. 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
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 28 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates
  2. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain: mail02.itdesign.de

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

      • RFC 5321 §5.1
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory

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

itdesign GmbH operates in the technology sector with a focus on software development and consulting for PPM and CRM. The company targets business clients requiring integrated software and advisory services. Its business model combines product offerings with consulting, positioning it as a solution partner rather than a pure software vendor. The website content and structure suggest a medium-sized enterprise with a consistent brand identity and a clear market focus. The use of AWS for hosting and WordPress for content management indicates a balance between scalability and ease of content updates. The presence of a Facebook page suggests engagement in social media marketing, although other social platforms are not prominently linked. No direct evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries was found in the content provided.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is moderate. HTTPS is implied but not explicitly confirmed in the provided data. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, or Strict-Transport-Security were detected, which are important for mitigating common web vulnerabilities. The absence of a published security policy or incident response plan reduces transparency and preparedness perception. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the HTML content. Forms and inputs appear standard but without explicit security features mentioned. The lack of cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies indicates potential GDPR compliance gaps. Overall, the site would benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency to improve its security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR-compliant consent mechanisms.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide clear incident response and security contact information on the website.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and libraries to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by adding certifications or trust badges related to security and data protection.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS version 6.4.1 with a custom theme named 'mcfly' requiring PHP 8.2, indicating use of modern PHP features. Fonts used include Roboto and Material Symbols Rounded, enhancing UI consistency. Hosting is via Amazon AWS as indicated by the nameservers. The site is optimized for mobile devices and demonstrates good SEO practices with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is likely fast due to AWS hosting and preloading of fonts. Accessibility features are present but not deeply analyzed. No analytics or tracking scripts were explicitly detected in the provided content, suggesting minimal user tracking. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained but could improve by adding security headers and privacy compliance scripts.
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.
