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

7 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

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

Lina Frisch operates as an independent author within the media sector, focusing on young adult urban fantasy novels. The website supports her market positioning by promoting her published works and upcoming events, leveraging partnerships with retailers like Thalia and Coppenrath. The business model is direct-to-consumer with an emphasis on reader engagement via social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok. Growth indicators include media mentions, award nominations, and active event participation. The partnership ecosystem includes book retailers and event organizers, enhancing distribution and visibility. The website's content and structure support brand building and audience expansion within the German literary market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and the contact form includes captcha verification and privacy consent, reducing spam and ensuring GDPR compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a potential area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The lack of an incident response contact or security policy page suggests limited preparedness for security incidents. Overall, the site maintains a secure environment suitable for its business purpose but would benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Create and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a terms of service page to clarify user rights and obligations.
  4. Consider integrating analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to better understand user behavior and improve the site.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain compliance with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a robust open-source content management system, indicating a solid technical foundation. The use of compressed CSS and JavaScript assets suggests optimization efforts for performance. Hosting via DomainControl nameservers points to a standard commercial hosting environment. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and layouts, enhancing user experience across devices. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured navigation. No advanced analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. Performance is moderate, with potential for further optimization through caching and security header enhancements.
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.
