Scanned

Both readouts depend on the site's pages, which could not be loaded in this scan.

Priority findings

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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.
  • GDPR outside view: 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

The company holds a strong market position as a regional leader in media production and event services in Leipzig. Their competitive advantage lies in their extensive experience, diverse service offerings, and professionally equipped studios. The business model is primarily B2B, serving TV, film, and event production clients. The website indicates a mature digital presence with integrated e-commerce capabilities via WooCommerce, suggesting additional revenue streams through equipment sales or rentals. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed, but the use of reputable technology providers and hosting by Deutsche Telekom indicates solid operational infrastructure. Growth indicators include a comprehensive service portfolio and a well-maintained online presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. While explicit security headers are not fully confirmed, the use of reputable plugins and regular updates suggests ongoing maintenance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security or incident response policies on the website and lack of a security.txt file indicates room for improvement in transparency and incident management readiness. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good, suitable for the business type but with recommendations for enhancement.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security communication.
  4. Regularly audit and update all WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance contact information visibility by including verified company emails and phone numbers to improve trust and customer engagement.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using popular plugins such as Elementor for page building, WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality, and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. The presence of Slider Revolution and Bootstrap indicates a focus on responsive and visually appealing design. Hosting appears to be provided by Deutsche Telekom, inferred from nameservers, suggesting reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The technical stack is current and well-maintained, though opportunities exist to improve security header implementation and optimize loading speed further.
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.
