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

LINUS WITTICH Medien KG operates the website LW-flyerdruck.de, a well-established online printing service provider in Germany with over 50 years of experience, 13 locations, and more than 900 employees. The company offers a broad range of printing products including flyers, brochures, business stationery, posters, and textile printing, targeting a general audience seeking affordable and reliable print solutions. The website is professionally designed with clear navigation and comprehensive product listings, supported by structured data enhancing SEO and business transparency. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as JavaScript, CSS, JSON-LD structured data, and integrates third-party services like Google Tag Manager and Cookiefirst for consent management. The platform appears to be custom-built or uses a proprietary CMS, hosted on servers associated with bw-networx.net. Performance and mobile optimization are good, though accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS (implied though not explicitly confirmed), includes a cookie consent mechanism, and secures user login forms via POST. However, no explicit security headers or published security policies were detected, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available. No vulnerabilities or suspicious content were found in the provided data. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and good privacy compliance. Strategic improvements include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and expanding incident response information to further strengthen trust and security 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

5 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

    • 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

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 company holds a strong market position in the German online printing sector, leveraging decades of experience and a large workforce. Its business model focuses on direct-to-consumer and business-to-business online sales of printed materials. The extensive product catalog and multiple service categories indicate diversified revenue streams. The target customer base is broad, encompassing individuals and businesses requiring print media. The company’s digital presence is mature, with integrated marketing and analytics tools, and a clear emphasis on customer support and transparency. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data, suggesting a focused operational structure.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate. The presence of HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms are positive indicators. The login form uses secure POST methods, reducing risk of credential exposure. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No public security or incident response policies were found, which could hinder rapid response to security events. No known vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Compliance with GDPR is supported by privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Maintain transparency by providing vulnerability disclosure and contact channels for security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with JavaScript libraries such as LazySizes for lazy loading and Modernizr for feature detection. Structured data in JSON-LD format is well implemented for SEO and business information. The CMS appears custom or proprietary, with assets and scripts served from the same domain. Performance is moderate with preloading of fonts and asynchronous script loading. Mobile optimization is good, supporting responsive design. Hosting is managed via bw-networx.net nameservers, indicating a professional hosting environment. Technical risks include lack of visible security headers and potential dependency on third-party scripts without explicit versioning or integrity checks.
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.
