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

1 finding 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

METRO Campus operates in the real estate sector as an important entity under METRO AG, targeting urban planners, investors, and businesses interested in office and gastronomy spaces. The project emphasizes sustainability and innovative urban solutions, positioning itself as a pioneering neighborhood development in Europe. The business model revolves around leasing and managing office and gastronomy spaces within a 9-hectare urban quarter. The company maintains a consistent brand image and leverages social media channels for outreach. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage suggests a controlled communication channel primarily via contact forms.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses reputable hosting and CDN services, contributing to a strong security baseline. Cookie consent is managed with detailed categories and user control, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Security headers are implied but not explicitly confirmed, suggesting a review and enhancement opportunity. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from formalized policies and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and verify security headers like X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options explicitly.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance contact information availability with verified company emails and phone numbers for better trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Sitecore CMS with SXA, Bootstrap 4.5 for responsive design, and JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and PhotoSwipe for image galleries. Analytics and tag management are handled via Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, complemented by Siteimprove for accessibility and performance monitoring. Hosting is supported by Akamai CDN, ensuring reliable content delivery. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility features, and SEO practices with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading speed. The technical implementation is robust with opportunities to enhance security headers and formalize security documentation.
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.
