74/100

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

maxcluster is a German technology company specializing in managed hosting services, particularly for e-commerce platforms. Founded in 2009, it has established itself as a medium-sized player in the managed hosting market. The website content provided is a 404 error page, indicating the requested resource is not found, which limits the ability to fully assess the company's online presence. Contact information such as phone number and support email are available in the page's JavaScript variables and footer links, suggesting accessible customer support channels. Technically, the website uses jQuery and Bootstrap frameworks, with Bugsnag integrated for error monitoring configured to avoid IP tracking, reflecting some privacy consideration. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers, and privacy or cookie policies indicates gaps in security and compliance maturity. The website lacks structured data and SEO optimization, and the 404 page design and content quality are poor, impacting user experience and trust. From a security perspective, the domain is registered with RegistryGate GmbH since 2009, with no privacy protection, and the registrant information aligns with the website's German origin, supporting legitimacy. The security posture is moderate but could be improved by enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, and implementing privacy policies. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, and no adult or questionable content is present. Overall, the website's current state reflects a functional but minimal online presence with room for improvement in content quality, security best practices, and privacy compliance. Strategic enhancements in these areas would strengthen trust, user experience, and regulatory adherence.

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

4 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.

    • 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

    • 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

  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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

maxcluster operates in the managed hosting sector with a focus on e-commerce clients, leveraging a business model centered on providing scalable and reliable hosting solutions. The company benefits from a long-established domain and consistent branding, positioning it as a credible player in the German technology market. Revenue streams likely derive from hosting subscriptions and managed service contracts. The target customers are medium to large e-commerce businesses requiring high availability and performance. The absence of visible partnerships or subsidiaries in the provided data limits insights into its ecosystem. The use of modern error monitoring tools indicates a commitment to operational stability. However, the lack of visible privacy and security policies may affect customer confidence and compliance with regulations such as GDPR.

Security posture

The security maturity of the website is moderate but incomplete. The use of HTTPS is implied but not explicitly confirmed in the provided data. The absence of DNSSEC and security headers reduces protection against DNS spoofing and common web attacks. Bugsnag integration with disabled IP tracking is a positive privacy measure. No forms or input fields are present on this page, minimizing attack surface. The domain registration is consistent and transparent, supporting trustworthiness. However, the lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident, which could delay mitigation of security issues. Overall, the security posture requires enhancements in domain security, HTTP headers, and compliance documentation to meet best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  4. Improve website content quality and navigation to avoid 404 errors and enhance user experience.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact to improve security readiness.

  9. No forms or input fields detected on this page.
Technical notes

Notes

The website employs jQuery and Bootstrap frameworks, indicating a traditional but still widely used front-end technology stack. Bugsnag is used for error monitoring with privacy-conscious settings. The HTML content is valid but minimal, serving a 404 error page with limited SEO and accessibility features. No CMS or hosting platform is explicitly identified. The site lacks structured data and Open Graph metadata, which could improve search engine visibility and social media sharing. Mobile optimization is basic, and performance is moderate. The absence of security headers and DNSSEC suggests technical debt in security infrastructure. Overall, the technical implementation is functional but requires modernization and security enhancements to support business operations effectively.
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.
