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

Manuel Deutsch operates as a freelance web developer and web designer based in Stuttgart, Germany, offering professional web development, SEO, UX, and frontend services primarily to agencies and businesses in the Stuttgart and Ludwigsburg regions.

Technically, the site leverages modern frameworks such as Vue.js and React, uses Kirby CMS for content management, and is hosted on netcup servers, indicating a mature and modern digital infrastructure.

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
      • 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

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 business is a small-sized freelance operation focused on technology services in web development and design. It targets digital agencies and companies needing flexible, expert support in frontend development, SEO, and UX design. The business model is service-based, relying on project work and agency partnerships. The website content and portfolio indicate a well-established presence with a strong reputation among clients, supported by multiple testimonials and recognizable client logos. The absence of formal privacy and cookie policies suggests an opportunity to improve regulatory compliance. The company appears to maintain a lean operational footprint with no subsidiaries or parent companies identified.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries detected. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security robustness. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which could be a gap in security readiness. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies, potentially exposing the business to regulatory risks under GDPR. The site does not appear to use tracking or analytics scripts that could introduce privacy concerns. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small freelance business but could be enhanced with better policy disclosures and security header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear contact information including company email and phone number for business and security incident reporting.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly review and update technical stack and dependencies to avoid potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

The website uses a modern and clean technology stack including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript frameworks Vue.js and React, and Kirby CMS for content management. Hosting is provided by netcup, a reputable German hosting provider, with consistent DNS configuration. The site is optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness, with good SEO practices evident in meta tags and structured content. Accessibility considerations are present but could be further enhanced. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected. The site uses Lottie animations for enhanced user experience.

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.
