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

MANOVA GmbH is a specialized provider of business intelligence and market research services with a strong focus on the tourism sector. The company leverages over 20 years of experience to deliver customized data analysis, marketing analytics, and knowledge management solutions, including their proprietary WEBMARK tool for online surveys and benchmarking. The website is professionally designed, primarily in German, and targets businesses seeking data-driven insights in tourism and marketing. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with common libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and Owl Carousel, though some libraries are outdated. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and visible privacy compliance mechanisms. The site uses Piwik analytics, indicating moderate user tracking with some privacy consideration. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but could improve privacy and security practices.

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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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

MANOVA GmbH occupies a niche market position as a boutique business intelligence and market research firm specializing in tourism and marketing analytics. Their competitive advantage lies in combining IT expertise with deep marketing knowledge and proprietary tools like WEBMARK. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on customized analytics, reporting, and workshops. The company maintains strong client relationships evidenced by numerous testimonials from recognized tourism organizations. The target customers are tourism businesses and marketing professionals seeking actionable data insights. The partnership with WEBMARK.eu suggests an ecosystem approach to delivering integrated BI solutions. Growth indicators include long-term client retention and diversified service offerings within the tourism sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security posture. The use of outdated JavaScript libraries like jQuery 1.11.1 may introduce vulnerabilities if not regularly patched. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, and no security or privacy policies are prominently displayed. The use of Piwik analytics suggests some privacy awareness, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing. Overall, the security posture is functional but could benefit from enhanced headers, updated libraries, and improved privacy compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with visible links and consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Update all JavaScript libraries and plugins to their latest secure versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  3. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting and improve security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a technology stack including jQuery 1.11.1, Bootstrap 3.0.3, Owl Carousel, Font Awesome 4.0.3, and Modernizr 3.7.1. While these technologies are widely used, some are outdated and may pose security risks. The site loads moderately fast and is mobile optimized with responsive CSS. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and canonical URLs. Accessibility features are basic but present. The site uses Piwik for analytics, indicating a preference for privacy-friendly tracking. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. The site could improve by modernizing its tech stack, enhancing accessibility, and implementing stronger 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.
