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

LIEPS GmbH is a well-established advertising agency based in Neubrandenburg, Germany, offering a comprehensive suite of marketing, design, web development, print, and video production services. With nearly two decades of experience, the agency serves a diverse clientele including startups and established businesses, positioning itself as a full-service creative partner. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, showcasing client references and a broad portfolio of services. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, and TYPO3 CMS, supported by Cloudflare for DNS and CDN services. The site is mobile-optimized and incorporates standard SEO and accessibility features, although some advanced security headers could be improved. Analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics and Metricool are used with appropriate cookie consent mechanisms in place, indicating good privacy compliance. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and shows no signs of vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, there is room for enhancement in security headers and incident response transparency. The WHOIS data aligns well with the business claims, showing consistent domain registration and no privacy protection that would obscure legitimacy. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and good technical implementation. Strategic improvements in security headers and formal security policies would further strengthen its posture.

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.

  1. 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 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';…

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

LIEPS GmbH operates in the media and advertising sector, targeting businesses and startups requiring creative marketing solutions. Their business model centers on full-service offerings, combining creative strategy, design, digital development, and media production. The agency's nearly 20-year history and extensive client portfolio indicate a stable market position with regional influence. Partnerships with local media and marketing platforms enhance their ecosystem. Revenue streams likely derive from project-based contracts and ongoing client services. The company maintains a small but skilled team, emphasizing quality and personalized service. Growth indicators include active social media presence and diversified service lines. The agency's strategic focus on startups and regional clients suggests a niche specialization with potential for expansion.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS usage and no visible security flaws in the HTML content. Cookie consent mechanisms comply with GDPR requirements, and tracking is transparent. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which could hinder rapid response to security events. The use of Cloudflare provides additional protection layers, though no WAF challenge was detected. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced header configurations to mitigate common web threats.

Recommendations

  1. Implement Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options headers to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to avoid vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all users.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies in line with evolving GDPR and ePrivacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a solid technical foundation using Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for interactivity, and TYPO3 as the CMS platform. It integrates several plugins for slideshows, popups, and layout management, ensuring a dynamic user experience. Hosting via Cloudflare provides DNS and CDN benefits, improving performance and security. The site loads moderately fast with good mobile optimization. SEO practices are evident through meta tags and structured data, although some accessibility improvements are possible. The technical stack is modern but could be further enhanced by adopting newer JavaScript frameworks or optimizing asset delivery for performance gains.
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.
