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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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

Materna operates in multiple sectors including technology, government, energy, transportation, finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and retail. Their business model focuses on providing tailored IT consulting and managed services, leveraging strategic alliances with technology partners. Revenue streams are primarily from consulting, managed services, and software solutions. The company targets medium to large enterprises and public sector organizations. Growth indicators include a broad service portfolio, international presence, and a strong emphasis on innovation and sustainability. The partnership ecosystem includes major technology providers and marketing platforms, enhancing their market reach and solution capabilities. Operationally, Materna emphasizes co-creation, trust, and long-term client relationships, positioning itself as a reliable and innovative IT partner.

Security posture

Materna's security maturity is solid, with HTTPS enforced and integration of Cloudflare Bot Management to mitigate automated threats. The website employs cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR, and uses reputable analytics and marketing tools with disclosed data retention policies. However, explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options are not clearly present, representing an area for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the website content. Incident response readiness is not publicly detailed, and no vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file is found, which could limit transparency and responsiveness to security issues. Overall, the security posture supports business continuity and compliance but would benefit from enhanced transparency and header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a clear incident response contact and vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and marketing tools for security vulnerabilities and compliance.
  4. Enhance visibility of data protection officer contact information to comply fully with GDPR transparency requirements.
  5. Maintain and communicate ongoing security certifications and compliance efforts to reinforce trust with clients and partners.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and flexible content management system suitable for enterprise use. It uses modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript, and integrates multiple third-party analytics and marketing services such as Google Analytics, HubSpot, Marketo, and eTracker. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Hosting appears to be managed via domaindiscount24.net nameservers, indicating professional domain management. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, but overall the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable digital presence. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and streamline third-party script usage to reduce potential risks and improve load times.
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.
