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

Verlag Friedrich Mauke KG is a small German publishing company specializing in academic and cultural books, including topics such as culture, history, literature, music, and art. The website is built on the Wix platform, leveraging Wix's Thunderbolt rendering engine and standard JavaScript polyfills. The site demonstrates moderate digital maturity with good mobile optimization and basic SEO practices. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and some script-based hardening, but lacks important security headers and visible privacy or cookie policies. Contact information is limited to a postal address with no direct email or phone contacts found. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy for its niche but could improve privacy compliance and security transparency.

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

8 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

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 company operates in the niche academic publishing sector, targeting readers interested in cultural and historical subjects. Its business model revolves around publishing and selling informative and entertaining non-fiction books. The website's market position appears stable within its niche, supported by consistent branding and structured data presence. The lack of extensive contact details and privacy documentation suggests a small-scale operation with limited digital customer engagement. No partnerships or subsidiaries are indicated. The company benefits from Wix's hosting and CMS services, which simplifies technical management but may limit customization.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and includes scripts to harden fetch and XMLHttpRequest operations, indicating awareness of security best practices. However, it lacks critical HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of privacy and cookie policies, as well as incident response contacts, represents compliance gaps, especially under GDPR. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved with better policy transparency and header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with consent mechanisms to enhance GDPR compliance.
  2. Add standard security HTTP headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) to strengthen web security.
  3. Provide clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers for customer support and incident response.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.
  5. Develop an incident response plan and publish relevant contact channels to improve security culture and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built entirely on the Wix platform, utilizing Wix's Thunderbolt rendering engine and standard polyfills for browser compatibility. The tech stack is modern but limited to Wix's ecosystem, which provides ease of use but restricts deep customization. Performance is moderate, with no explicit performance optimization scripts detected. Mobile optimization is good, consistent with Wix's responsive design capabilities. SEO is basic but includes essential meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility features are minimal but present. The site lacks advanced analytics or marketing tools, indicating a focus on content rather than aggressive digital marketing.
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.
