MAC · E-commerce · Germany

Partial score · DNS & email only

49/100

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

MAC is a German-based company specializing in e-commerce and omnichannel retail solutions, leveraging over 20 years of experience. Their website, powered by TYPO3 CMS, presents a professional and well-structured digital presence targeting business clients seeking tailored e-commerce services. The technical infrastructure is modern with good mobile optimization and SEO practices, though hosting and performance details remain unspecified. Security posture is moderate; HTTPS is implied but lacks visible security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is partial, with a cookie consent mechanism present but no clear privacy or terms of service pages detected. The absence of WHOIS domain registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy, impacting overall trust. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy documentation, and domain registration transparency are recommended.

Priority findings

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

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

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • 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
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

      • 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
    • 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

  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

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 · found on this site
  • 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

MAC operates in the e-commerce and retail sector, providing omnichannel solutions likely focused on B2B clients. Their market position is that of an established medium-sized company with a strong German market focus. The business model revolves around consulting and platform integration, specifically with their DiVA platform. The website content and branding are consistent and professional, supporting their credibility. However, the lack of visible certifications or detailed company registration information limits deeper business intelligence insights. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the provided data.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS usage and a cookie consent mechanism. However, the lack of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No incident response or security policy information is available, and no vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files were found. The missing WHOIS data for the domain is a significant red flag, potentially indicating privacy protection or registration issues. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires enhancements to meet best practices and compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance web security.
  2. Publish clear and accessible privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  3. Clarify domain registration details and ensure WHOIS data is accurate and publicly available to improve legitimacy.
  4. Establish and communicate incident response procedures and security policies on the website.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party libraries and forms to prevent vulnerabilities and data leaks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, indicating a mature technical foundation. The site uses modern HTML5 and CSS3 standards with responsive design for mobile devices. Performance is moderate, with no explicit hosting provider identified. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data, enhancing social media sharing and search engine visibility. Accessibility features are basic but present. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, suggesting minimal user tracking. The technical stack is solid but could benefit from performance optimization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
