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

KlimAktiv is a German climate consultancy focused on supporting businesses, associations, authorities, and private individuals in measuring and reducing their carbon footprint to achieve zero emissions. With over 20 years of experience, they offer a comprehensive range of services including CO₂ calculators, climate strategy development, communication, and climate protection projects. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand with a clear mission centered on climate protection and sustainability. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies such as Bootstrap 5, Livewire (Laravel), and Swiper.js for interactive elements. It uses Matomo for analytics, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. The site is mobile-optimized and well-structured, though some accessibility features could be improved. Performance is moderate with good SEO practices. From a security perspective, the website uses HTTPS and includes CSRF tokens, but lacks visible security headers and published security policies or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is limited by the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies or consent mechanisms. Overall, KlimAktiv presents a trustworthy and professional online presence with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security best practices. Strategic enhancements in these areas would strengthen their security posture and regulatory adherence.

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

8 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

    • 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

  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

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1

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

KlimAktiv occupies a niche in the climate consulting sector in Germany, targeting organizations and individuals committed to sustainability. Their long-standing market presence and extensive client portfolio, evidenced by numerous client logos, suggest a solid market position. The business model revolves around consulting and providing digital tools for climate impact measurement and strategy. Revenue likely derives from consulting services, tool subscriptions, and project collaborations. The company emphasizes partnerships and community engagement, as seen in their client references and public climate action initiatives. Growth indicators include active event participation and continuous content updates. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, indicating an independent operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and CSRF protection implemented. However, the absence of key security headers (e.g., Content Security Policy, HSTS) and lack of published security or incident response policies indicate gaps in security best practices. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files were found, limiting transparency. The use of Matomo analytics suggests a privacy-aware approach, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing, which may affect GDPR compliance. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a consultancy website but should be enhanced to mitigate risks and improve compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR-compliant consent mechanisms.
  2. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information, including abuse@ or security@ email addresses.
  4. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party libraries and update them to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including Bootstrap 5 for responsive design, Livewire (Laravel) for dynamic components, and Swiper.js for interactive sliders. It uses Matomo for analytics, favoring privacy over mainstream trackers. The site loads with moderate speed and is mobile-optimized. The HTML and CSS are valid and well-structured, supporting SEO and accessibility at a basic level. Hosting details are not explicit, but DNS uses GoDaddy name servers. There is no evidence of a commercial CMS like WordPress or Joomla; the stack suggests a custom Laravel-based solution. Opportunities exist to enhance accessibility features and optimize performance further.
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.
