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.

Priority findings

6 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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

The company operates in the local service sector, targeting residential and commercial customers in the Nideggen area. Their long-standing presence since 1964 indicates market stability and experience. The business model is service-oriented with a small team, emphasizing quality and customer relationships. The website content and structure support lead generation through contact forms and direct phone contacts. No evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries was found. The absence of social media presence or advanced marketing tools suggests a traditional approach to customer engagement. The company could benefit from expanding digital marketing and security transparency to strengthen competitive advantage.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and includes a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No incident response or security contact information is provided, which could hinder timely vulnerability reporting and resolution. The use of popular WordPress plugins and themes suggests the need for regular updates to prevent exploitation. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small business site but could be improved with additional hardening and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common attacks.
  2. Add a dedicated security or abuse contact email to facilitate incident reporting and response.
  3. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Consider publishing a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.
  5. Enhance website accessibility and SEO features to improve user experience and search visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder and Astra theme, indicating a flexible and widely supported technical stack. It loads external resources such as Google Fonts and Font Awesome icons. The site includes multiple form plugins (Contact Form 7, WPForms Lite) for user interaction. Performance appears moderate with no explicit speed optimizations detected. Mobile responsiveness is good, supported by Astra's responsive design. Accessibility features are basic but present. No advanced analytics or tracking services are detected beyond cookie consent. Hosting provider details are not explicit but DNS uses t-online.de name servers, common in Germany. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard for a small business website with room for performance and security 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.
