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

6 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. 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';…

  3. 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

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 a niche health insurance provider exclusively for Krones employees, leveraging the parent company's ecosystem. Its competitive advantage lies in personalized, local service and exclusive benefits not available to the general public. Revenue streams are likely from employer contributions and member premiums. The target customers are Krones employees and their families, indicating a captive audience. The company maintains a partnership ecosystem with Krones AG and related health service platforms. Growth indicators include digital health offerings and a service app. The website content and structure reflect a mature, well-established operation with strong brand consistency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, CAPTCHA integration to prevent automated abuse, and a robust cookie consent management system compliant with GDPR. No security headers were explicitly detected in the HTML content, and no public security or incident response policies are available, which could be improved. There are no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency but does not indicate immediate risk. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from enhanced transparency and additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a formal security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email).
  3. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
  5. Enhance transparency on data retention policies and user data handling to strengthen privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS with a well-structured theme and plugins focused on SEO, performance, and privacy compliance. Technologies include Yoast SEO for metadata and structured data, WP Rocket for caching and optimization, Borlabs Cookie for GDPR-compliant cookie management, and captcha.eu for bot protection. The site is mobile-optimized with accessibility features such as font size adjustment and high contrast modes. Performance is optimized with lazy loading and preloading of fonts and images. No major technical debt or outdated libraries were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit but the site uses custom DNS servers (dns.cyber-stack.com, dns.cyber-stack.de). Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a fast, accessible, and secure user experience.
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.
