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

Leafworks is a small consulting firm specializing in customer experience and CX management, targeting businesses seeking to improve their customer interactions. The website is built on a modern WordPress infrastructure using popular plugins and themes such as Yoast SEO, Astra, Elementor, and WP Rocket, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and provides relevant content aligned with its consulting services. However, the security posture is limited, with no visible security headers, privacy or cookie policies, or incident response information, which could expose the business to compliance and security risks. The absence of explicit contact information reduces transparency and trust. Overall, the website is functional and professional but requires improvements in privacy compliance and security practices to enhance trustworthiness 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

  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
    • 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.

Breach exposure

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention leafworks.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for leafworks.de right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Leafworks operates in the consulting sector with a niche focus on customer experience management. The business model revolves around providing expert advisory services to other companies. The website content and structure suggest a small-sized company based in Germany, with no indication of subsidiaries or parent companies. The firm leverages SEO and performance optimization tools to maintain a competitive online presence. The lack of detailed business information and contact data limits the ability to fully assess market positioning and growth potential. No partnerships or related domains were identified from the website content.

Security posture

The website currently exhibits a basic security posture. HTTPS is assumed but not explicitly confirmed from the data. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, or X-Content-Type-Options were detected. There is no published security policy or incident response contact, which is a gap for handling potential security incidents. The absence of privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms indicates non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were identified in the HTML content. The site would benefit from implementing standard security best practices and compliance documentation to reduce risk.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with explicit consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Add clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for business and security incident reporting.
  4. Ensure HTTPS is properly configured with strong SSL/TLS settings and display security seals if applicable.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and remediate risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress CMS with Astra theme and Elementor page builder, supported by Yoast SEO for search optimization and WP Rocket for caching and performance. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts with preloading for performance. The hosting appears to be with kasserver.com based on nameservers. The site is mobile optimized and has good design quality. However, accessibility features are basic and no advanced security or privacy frameworks are evident. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in security and compliance-related technical implementations.
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.
