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

marketmind GmbH is a well-established marketing consulting agency founded in 1996 and based in Vienna, Austria. It operates primarily in the DACH region, serving clients across sectors such as energy, transport, banking, telecommunications, government, non-profit, retail, hospitality, and media. The company offers data-driven marketing research, consulting, and data science services with a strong focus on UX research, branding, segmenting, and customer experience. The website reflects a mature digital presence with detailed team profiles, client testimonials, and comprehensive service descriptions, positioning marketmind as a leading player in its market segment. Technically, the website is hosted on Microsoft IIS with ASP.NET technology and uses Cloudflare for DNS and nameservers. The site employs modern web technologies such as JSON-LD structured data, WebP images, and custom fonts. However, the site lacks a valid SSL certificate and does not support HTTPS, which is a critical security shortfall. Performance metrics are not available, but the site is mobile-optimized and accessible with good SEO practices. From a security perspective, the absence of HTTPS and TLS protocols severely impacts the security posture. While some security headers like X-Content-Type-Options are present, the lack of HSTS, OCSP stapling, and session resumption mechanisms indicates room for significant improvement. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a clear privacy policy, cookie consent mechanism, and GDPR compliance indicators. The site uses marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics and LinkedIn Insight Tag with transparent disclosures. Overall, marketmind GmbH presents a professional and trustworthy business with excellent content quality and business credibility. The main risk lies in the missing HTTPS configuration, which should be addressed urgently to protect user data and improve trust. Strategic recommendations include implementing SSL/TLS, enhancing security headers, and maintaining ongoing compliance with privacy regulations.

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

10 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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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"

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.

Business context

Business profile

marketmind GmbH is positioned as a leading marketing consulting agency in the DACH region, leveraging data science and marketing research to provide tailored solutions in UX, branding, segmenting, and customer experience. The company serves a diverse client base across multiple sectors including energy, transport, banking, telecommunications, government, non-profit, retail, hospitality, and media. Its business model focuses on consulting services supported by a team of 70 consultants and method specialists. The company emphasizes customer-centric and data-driven approaches, supported by a strong brand presence and client testimonials. Partnerships and social media presence on LinkedIn and Spotify podcasts enhance its market reach. The company is medium-sized, founded in 1996, and headquartered in Vienna, Austria. The website content and WHOIS data are consistent, supporting legitimacy and trustworthiness.

Security posture

The website currently exhibits a low security maturity level due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS support, which is a critical vulnerability exposing users to potential data interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. Security headers are minimal, with only X-Content-Type-Options present, and no HSTS or OCSP stapling configured. No evidence of a security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms were found. The site uses secure forms with validation but lacks advanced security controls. Privacy compliance is good with GDPR-aligned policies and cookie consent. The overall security posture requires urgent improvement to meet modern standards and protect business and user data effectively.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a valid SSL/TLS certificate and enable HTTPS across the entire website to secure data in transit.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3) and disable insecure protocols.
  3. Configure HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS.
  4. Enable OCSP stapling to improve certificate revocation checking performance and security.
  5. Add additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  6. Establish and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and readiness.
  7. Review and enhance cookie consent mechanism to store user preferences beyond session duration.
  8. Regularly audit third-party scripts and marketing tools for security and privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Microsoft IIS 10.0 with ASP.NET 4.0.30319, indicating a Windows server environment. It uses modern web technologies including JSON-LD structured data for SEO and rich snippets, WebP images for optimized media delivery, and custom Gilroy fonts preloaded for performance. The site is hosted behind Cloudflare DNS and nameservers, which can provide CDN and security benefits. However, the lack of HTTPS and TLS support is a major technical deficiency. Performance data is missing, but the site appears mobile-optimized and accessible with good SEO practices. The site uses JavaScript and custom scripts but no major third-party CMS or frameworks are detected. There is opportunity to modernize security infrastructure and improve performance monitoring.
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.
