Risk levelHigh

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

Lebensmittelmarketing.net is a niche educational website providing free online access to updated academic and professional publications related to food marketing and regional marketing. The site is operated by AFC Consulting Group AG and targets German-speaking professionals and academics interested in these topics. The business model focuses on offering valuable content without direct monetization or advertising. Technically, the website uses basic HTML5 and CSS with minimal interactivity and moderate mobile optimization. There is no evidence of advanced CMS or analytics tools, indicating a simple infrastructure. Security posture is limited; no HTTPS or security headers information was provided, and no privacy or cookie policies are present, which poses compliance and security risks. The domain registration is consistent and legitimate, with no privacy protection and an appropriate domain age. Overall, the website is functional but requires improvements in security, privacy compliance, and contact transparency to enhance trust and user confidence.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

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 website occupies a specialized niche in the food marketing academic and professional domain, leveraging the reputation of AFC Consulting Group AG and the DLG Verlag's permission to publish out-of-print works. Its competitive advantage lies in providing free, updated content online, appealing to a focused audience of professionals and academics. The business model is informational rather than commercial, with no evident revenue streams from advertising or affiliate marketing. The partnership ecosystem includes DLG Verlag and AFC Consulting Group AG. Growth potential depends on expanding content offerings and improving digital presence. The lack of contact information and privacy policies may limit user engagement and trust.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is low to moderate. The absence of HTTPS confirmation and security headers indicates potential vulnerabilities to interception and common web attacks. No incident response or security policy information is available, and no contact channels for security issues are provided. GDPR compliance is questionable due to missing privacy and cookie policies. The website does not appear to collect user data actively, which reduces exposure but also limits compliance complexity. Recommendations include implementing HTTPS, adding security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, and establishing incident response contacts to improve security culture and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate and enforce secure connections.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for business and security inquiries.
  5. Establish an incident response process and publish relevant contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a simple technical stack primarily based on HTML5 and CSS with Bootstrap for styling. There is no detected CMS or advanced JavaScript frameworks. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is basic with some Open Graph metadata but lacks comprehensive meta descriptions and structured data. The site lacks modern security configurations such as DNSSEC and security headers. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The technical debt is low due to simplicity but modernization opportunities exist to improve security, performance, and 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.
