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 PROPERTIES holds a strategic position within the real estate sector as part of the METRO AG group, focusing on wholesale and retail property assets. Its business model centers on asset and portfolio management, project development, and transactions, targeting institutional investors and commercial clients. The company benefits from access to international capital markets and a strong investment expertise. The website's content and linked domains indicate a well-established partnership ecosystem within the METRO group. Growth indicators include ongoing project developments and active communication of news and publications. The absence of direct contact emails suggests a controlled communication channel, likely to maintain professionalism and security.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a strong SSL configuration and uses cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. Security best practices such as request verification tokens are implemented. However, the absence of HTTP security headers and a publicly available security policy or incident response page indicates areas for enhancement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site does not provide a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file, which could improve transparency and incident handling. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be elevated by adopting additional security standards and publishing relevant policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information page to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  3. Create and maintain a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Add explicit security contact channels (e.g., security@metro-properties.de) for incident reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack including ASP.NET and Sitecore SXA, leveraging Bootstrap for responsive design and PhotoSwipe for image galleries. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking, alongside Siteimprove Analytics for quality assurance. Hosting is provided via Akamai CDN, ensuring reliable performance and global reach. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in script loading and caching strategies. The technical infrastructure supports a professional corporate web presence with scalability and security considerations.
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.
