Security score

45/100

Risk levelHigh

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

Marstall GmbH operates a professional multi-country website offering premium horse feed products tailored to various European markets. The company presents itself as an established medium-sized business with a clear focus on equestrian nutrition. The website provides country-specific portals, contact information, and social media presence, indicating a mature digital footprint. Technically, the site uses common web technologies such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and Google Analytics, with HTTPS enabled ensuring secure communication. However, the absence of security headers and cookie consent mechanisms indicates room for improvement in security and privacy compliance. The WHOIS data is not publicly available due to EURid privacy policies, but the website content and contact details align with a legitimate business entity based in Germany. Overall, the site demonstrates good professionalism and trustworthiness but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy features.

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

11 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: SMB

      Port 445 (SMB) is publicly accessible - SMB - Windows file sharing, high risk

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to SMB using firewall or VPN

      • 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
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • 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 SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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"

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Marstall GmbH is positioned as a specialized manufacturer and retailer of premium horse feed products across multiple European countries. Their business model focuses on localized market presence through country-specific websites and partnerships with distributors. The company targets horse owners and equestrian professionals, leveraging a strong brand identity and consistent messaging. The presence of social media channels and newsletter subscription indicates active customer engagement strategies. While the company appears established, the lack of publicly available WHOIS data limits deeper verification. The business ecosystem includes partner domains in various countries, supporting a broad distribution network.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces protection against common web attacks. The absence of a cookie consent banner and explicit privacy compliance mechanisms may expose the company to GDPR compliance risks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which could hinder timely security issue management. The use of external services like CleverReach for newsletter management is handled securely but should be regularly audited. Overall, the security maturity is adequate but requires enhancements to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and readiness.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to improve user experience and compliance with standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional web technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, Font Awesome, and Owl Carousel for UI components and interactivity. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are integrated for tracking and analytics purposes. The site is mobile responsive with good design quality and navigation clarity. However, no modern JavaScript frameworks or CMS platforms are detected, indicating a possibly custom or legacy implementation. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The newsletter form uses CleverReach, an external service, with client-side validation implemented. No advanced accessibility features or SEO optimizations beyond basic meta tags are observed. Security headers are missing, which is a technical risk. Overall, the infrastructure is stable but could benefit from modernization and security hardening.
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.
