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

1 finding 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

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

The company leverages its established brand in the German beer market, focusing on premium product lines and direct consumer engagement through events and online channels. Its business model combines manufacturing with retail and marketing via sponsorships and cultural events. The parent company Bitburger Braugruppe provides a strong backing and partnership ecosystem. The website supports growth through online shop integration and active social media presence. The company targets beer consumers and fans, emphasizing quality and tradition. No direct revenue data is available, but the digital maturity and marketing investments indicate a competitive market position.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and cookie consent management via OneTrust. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of a public security policy, vulnerability disclosure program, or incident response contacts suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. The site uses third-party analytics and tracking tools responsibly with user consent. Overall, the security measures align with industry best practices but could be enhanced by publishing formal policies and contact points for security incidents.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information for security issues.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet higher standards for inclusivity.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and tracking tools for security and privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React/Next.js stack, leveraging CSS modules for styling and integrating third-party services such as OneTrust for cookie consent and Google Tag Manager for analytics. Hosting appears to be with Deutsche Telekom, indicated by nameservers. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. The site uses multiple CSS files and asynchronous JavaScript loading to optimize user experience. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless CMS approach. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence with opportunities for further optimization.
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.
