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

5 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 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';…

  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

  3. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

  4. 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

  • 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

Trendence Institut GmbH positions itself as a key player in labor market research and employer branding in Germany. Its business model revolves around providing data-driven insights, surveys, and newsletters to individuals and organizations. The company leverages partnerships for marketing and survey hosting, as seen with related domains. The platform's focus on GDPR compliance and user consent reflects a mature approach to privacy. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the main site suggests a preference for controlled communication channels, likely via contact forms. The company maintains a consistent brand presence and targets a professional audience, supporting steady growth and market relevance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of a consent management platform ensures compliance with GDPR cookie regulations. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, or HSTS is a gap that could be addressed to enhance protection against common web attacks. No incident response or security policy pages were found, which limits transparency in security governance. The inclusion of multiple third-party scripts necessitates regular security audits to mitigate risks from external dependencies. Overall, the security posture is good but has room for improvement in formal policies and technical headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Consider adding direct verified contact emails or phone numbers for improved business credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript stack with Turbo Frames and StimulusJS for dynamic content loading and interactivity. It integrates multiple analytics platforms (Matomo and Plausible) and a consent management platform from consentmanager.net, reflecting a mature approach to privacy and data collection. The site is hosted with DNSimple, a reputable DNS provider, and uses HTTPS exclusively, ensuring secure communications. Performance is moderate with deferred and async loading of scripts. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO meta tags are properly set. However, the absence of explicit security headers and limited accessibility features indicate areas for technical improvement. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid and supports the business goals 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.
