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

7 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

  2. 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

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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 positioned as a key local market and social venue in Hannover, targeting residents and tourists seeking quality food and social experiences. Its business model revolves around tenant leasing and direct retail sales. The website supports this with regular news updates and social media engagement. The lack of extensive business registration data suggests a focus on local market presence rather than corporate scale. The company benefits from consistent branding and a clear value proposition as the 'Bauch von Hannover'.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and no exposed sensitive data. Use of Matomo analytics indicates attention to privacy. However, the absence of security headers and incident response contact information reveals areas for improvement. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files are present, which could enhance transparency and trust. Overall, the security risk is low but could be improved with standard best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply fully with EU cookie regulations.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact details to improve transparency.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  5. Regularly audit third-party plugins and scripts for vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress 6.8.3 with jQuery and a carousel slider plugin, indicating a modern but standard CMS infrastructure. Matomo analytics is used for tracking, favoring privacy over mainstream trackers. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible with good SEO practices. Performance is moderate, likely due to image-heavy content and carousel usage. No major technical debts or outdated libraries were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit but DNS and WHOIS data suggest stable management.
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.
