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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

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 business operates as an event organizer within the construction safety sector, focusing on fall protection. It leverages partnerships with industry leaders and professional chambers to enhance credibility and reach. The business model centers on recurring congress events, educational offerings, and networking opportunities. Revenue likely derives from event registrations, sponsorships, and exhibitor participation. The target audience includes architects, engineers, safety officers, and manufacturers, indicating a B2B focus. The partnership ecosystem is robust, involving multiple specialized companies and industry bodies, which supports growth and market penetration. The company is a subsidiary or brand under Bauverlag, a known publishing and event organization entity in Germany.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enabled and integration of a consent management platform that blocks tracking scripts until user consent is given. However, no explicit security headers (such as CSP, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options) were detected, and there is no published security policy or incident response contact information. The site does not expose sensitive data or show signs of vulnerabilities in the analyzed content. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager is managed via consent, reducing privacy risks. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for the business type but could be enhanced by implementing additional HTTP security headers and publishing formal security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using the InterRed CMS platform, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, FontAwesome, and Swiper.js for UI components and interactivity. Usercentrics CMP is integrated for GDPR-compliant consent management, effectively blocking tracking scripts until consent is granted. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tags. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes proper meta tags for SEO. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed by optimizing images and scripts. The technical infrastructure is stable and suitable for the event-focused business model, though adding security headers and improving accessibility would strengthen the overall technical posture.
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.
