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

The website kloos.at represents .kloos digital GmbH, a small-sized digital marketing and SEO agency based in Vienna, Austria. The company offers a comprehensive suite of services including SEO, Google Ads, analytics, content marketing, social media marketing, web design, WordPress development, and training workshops. The site is professionally designed with excellent content quality and clear navigation, targeting businesses seeking digital marketing expertise primarily in the Austrian and German-speaking markets. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern libraries such as jQuery and uses plugins like Yoast SEO and Borlabs Cookie for SEO and privacy compliance. However, the site lacks a valid SSL/TLS certificate and does not serve content over HTTPS, which is a critical security shortfall. The cookie consent mechanism is well implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. Business contact information is clearly presented, including email, phone, and physical address, along with social media presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, and YouTube. Overall, the site demonstrates a strong market position with trust indicators such as client testimonials and structured data ratings.

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

9 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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: SMB

      Port 445 (SMB) is publicly accessible - SMB - Windows file sharing, high risk

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to SMB using firewall or VPN

      • 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
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 · found on this site
  • 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

.kloos operates as a specialized digital marketing agency with a focus on SEO and paid advertising, catering to clients who require tailored online marketing strategies. Their business model revolves around service delivery and knowledge transfer through workshops and eBooks. The company maintains a consistent brand identity across multiple related domains, indicating a strategic partnership or network. Their client testimonials and featured logos suggest a reputable market presence. Revenue streams likely include consulting, campaign management, content creation, and training services. The target customer segments are businesses aiming to improve online visibility and marketing effectiveness. The partnership ecosystem includes related domains and possibly technology providers. Strategic observations highlight the company's emphasis on quality content, client engagement, and comprehensive service offerings.

Security posture

The website's security posture is currently weak due to the absence of HTTPS and a valid SSL/TLS certificate, exposing users to potential interception risks. While some security headers are present, critical headers and configurations are missing or disabled. The site uses cookie consent tools and respects privacy regulations, but lacks publicly available security policies or incident response information. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected in the content. The lack of encryption is a significant compliance and trust issue that should be addressed promptly to protect user data and improve overall security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enhance security headers by adding Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update all third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Maintain and improve privacy compliance by monitoring cookie consent mechanisms and data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Swiper.js for UI components. SEO is enhanced with the Yoast SEO plugin, and privacy compliance is managed via Borlabs Cookie. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are integrated for marketing and analytics purposes. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and fonts preloaded for performance. However, the lack of HTTPS and SSL certificate is a critical technical deficiency. Performance data is unavailable, but caching headers suggest aggressive no-cache policies which may impact load times. Accessibility features are basic but present. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional digital marketing presence but requires urgent security upgrades.
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.
