Leuchtturm Gruppe is a large, family-owned premium brand house based in the Hamburg metropolitan region, Germany. It operates internationally with over 500 employees across 10 locations on 4 continents. The company manages a portfolio of eight premium brands specializing in products related to Collecting, Writing, Living, and Giving. The website reflects a strong brand identity with professional design and comprehensive content, targeting a general audience interested in high-quality, real-world products. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using Elementor and Yoast SEO, with modern JavaScript libraries like Swiper and jQuery, delivering a mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly experience. Security posture is good with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though security headers and explicit security policies are absent. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain reduces transparency and trustworthiness somewhat, but the overall digital presence is professional and consistent with a legitimate business.

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
4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
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.
Critical
Unable to retrieve SSL certificate
Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information
What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured
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"
This scan found 15 issues across 6 checks. Monitoring re-runs those checks daily, emails you when something material changes and records each fix, so you can show progress.

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, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The company positions itself as a premium, family-run global player with a century-long tradition. Its business model revolves around managing and marketing multiple premium brands with a focus on quality and design. The target customers are consumers valuing real, tangible products with aesthetic and functional appeal. The company’s market position is strong in the premium retail sector, supported by a diverse brand portfolio and international footprint. The website links to multiple subsidiary brand domains, indicating a well-structured brand ecosystem. There is no direct evidence of revenue streams or partnerships beyond brand subsidiaries. The company emphasizes values, innovation, and sustainability in its messaging, which aligns with current market trends for premium goods.
Security posture
The website enforces HTTPS and implements a cookie consent banner compliant with GDPR, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, no explicit security headers (such as Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options) were detected, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No security or incident response policies are published on the site, and no security contact emails were found. The site uses popular and regularly updated CMS and plugins, reducing risk from outdated software. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by adding security headers and publishing security policies.
Recommendations
Implement and configure HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance web security.
Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information page to improve transparency and preparedness.
Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve domain trust and transparency.
Regularly audit third-party plugins and scripts for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor page builder and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a mature and maintainable technical infrastructure. It uses jQuery and Swiper.js for interactive elements and responsive design. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and layouts. Performance is moderate, with some lazy loading of images to improve load times. The site includes a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. No hosting provider information was detected. The technical stack is standard for professional corporate websites, with opportunities to improve security headers and accessibility compliance.
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.
