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

LeFx GmbH is a specialized development studio based in Leipzig, Germany, focusing on advanced real-time visualizations including AR, VR, and 3D solutions primarily for the automotive, pharmaceutical, and energy sectors. Established in 2011, the company offers a range of services such as interactive storytelling, virtual training, product visualization, and game development, positioning itself as a trusted partner with a strong regional presence and reputable clients like Volkswagen and Audi. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with comprehensive content and clear navigation. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and Slick Slider, hosted by Goneo. It features good mobile optimization, SEO practices, and a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR, implemented via Borlabs Cookie. The site uses HTTPS with secure cookie settings, indicating a solid security foundation. Security posture is strong with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The presence of TISAX certification further underscores their commitment to security standards. However, the site lacks explicit security policy and incident response information, which could enhance trust and preparedness. Overall, the website is trustworthy, well-maintained, and compliant with privacy regulations, serving its business audience effectively. Strategic improvements in security transparency and accessibility could further strengthen its position.

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

3 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.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. 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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

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.

Business context

Business profile

LeFx GmbH operates as a niche technology service provider specializing in AR/VR and 3D visualization solutions. Their market positioning leverages deep industry knowledge and a network of XR pioneers (OVRLAB), targeting medium to large enterprises in automotive, pharmaceutical, and energy sectors. The company’s business model centers on bespoke project development and innovation partnerships, supported by a portfolio of high-profile clients. Growth indicators include a diverse client base and certifications like TISAX. The company maintains a professional digital presence with clear branding and compliance, supporting its credibility and competitive advantage in a specialized market segment.

Security posture

LeFx demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforcement, secure cookie configurations, and GDPR-compliant cookie consent management. The use of TISAX certification indicates adherence to recognized security frameworks relevant to automotive and related industries. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. The website’s security culture appears proactive but could benefit from enhanced communication of security practices to stakeholders.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information to facilitate reporting and handling of security issues.
  3. Implement and publish a security.txt file to formalize vulnerability disclosure processes.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with standards.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website infrastructure is based on WordPress CMS, utilizing common and stable libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and Slick Slider for UI components and responsiveness. Hosting is provided by Goneo, a reputable German hosting provider. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, particularly in mobile responsiveness and accessibility. SEO is well addressed through meta tags, Open Graph, and structured data (JSON-LD). The cookie consent mechanism is robust, leveraging Borlabs Cookie for granular user control. Technical risks are minimal, but ongoing maintenance of third-party dependencies and security updates is recommended to sustain operational integrity.
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.
