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

The website www.michaelsbund.de/shop is an established German e-commerce platform specializing in books and media products, with a strong focus on religious, thematic, and children's literature. It is operated by the Diözesanverband München und Freising e.V., a regional diocesan association, positioning itself as a niche retailer with cultural and religious affiliations. The platform offers a broad catalog, including specialized collections and library services, targeting German-speaking readers, libraries, and religious communities. Technically, the site is built on the OXID eShop Enterprise Edition platform, utilizing modern web technologies such as jQuery, Owl Carousel, and Usercentrics for consent management. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, ensuring good performance and security. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, SEO practices, and accessibility at a basic level. Structured data and Open Graph tags are implemented to enhance search engine visibility. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses a consent management platform to comply with privacy regulations. However, explicit security headers like CSP and X-Frame-Options are not visibly configured, and no public security policy or incident response contacts are provided. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Overall, the website presents a professional, trustworthy, and secure e-commerce experience with room for improvement in privacy documentation and security header implementation. The business is legitimate and consistent with its domain registration and WHOIS data.

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. 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. 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

Michaelsbund operates as a medium-sized retail and media business focused on book sales with a religious and cultural niche. Its market position leverages regional and thematic specialization, serving libraries, religious organizations, and general readers. The business model is primarily e-commerce with additional services such as library support and digital editions via partner domains. The company maintains a consistent brand and offers a wide range of curated book categories, including award-winning and seasonal selections. Partnerships with digital content providers enhance its offerings. The presence of a login system and account management indicates a customer-focused approach with potential for personalized services.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and use of a reputable consent management platform (Usercentrics). The absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests an area for enhancement to mitigate risks such as clickjacking and content injection. No public security policy or incident response contacts were found, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The login form uses secure POST methods, and no sensitive data leakage was detected. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by publishing security policies, adding security.txt, and implementing additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the shop pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  3. Add a security policy page and incident response contact information to demonstrate preparedness and transparency.
  4. Consider publishing a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided scripts.
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.
