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

Reppublika Research is a well-established full-service market research institute specializing in data-driven media and consumer research across Germany, Austria, and the CEE region. With over two decades of experience, the company offers comprehensive quantitative, qualitative, and behavioral research services, supported by proprietary panels and advanced technical capabilities. Their client portfolio includes major corporations such as Google, IKEA, and Allianz, underscoring their strong market position and credibility. Technically, the website is built on the Wix platform, leveraging a modern tech stack including React 18 and various Wix apps, ensuring a professional and content-rich online presence. However, the security posture is currently limited by the absence of a valid SSL certificate and proper HTTPS configuration, which poses a significant risk and impacts user trust. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear policies and GDPR adherence. Overall, the company demonstrates strong business credibility and digital maturity but should prioritize improving its security infrastructure to enhance trust and protect user 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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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';…

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

The company operates in the media research sector, targeting large enterprises in media, FMCG, banking, and insurance industries. Their business model combines traditional market research with innovative SaaS and ad-tech solutions, enabling them to offer tailored, scalable services. Their strategic partnerships and membership in the Tito & Friends group enhance their market reach and operational capabilities. The website content reflects a consistent and professional brand image, with clear service offerings and a focus on data-driven insights. The presence of multiple offices in Austria and Germany indicates a medium-sized enterprise with regional influence. The company’s emphasis on cross-company research and fieldwork excellence highlights their commitment to quality and innovation.

Security posture

The website employs basic security headers such as HSTS and X-Content-Type-Options, but the lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols significantly weaken its security posture. No advanced security policies or incident response information are publicly available, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found. While no critical vulnerabilities like Heartbleed or POODLE were detected, the absence of HTTPS is a critical issue that undermines data protection and user trust. The site uses Cloudflare as a CDN, which provides some protection, but the current SSL misconfiguration is a major gap. The company should urgently address these issues to comply with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and properly configure a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and 1.3) and disable deprecated versions to enhance security.
  3. Enhance HSTS policy by increasing max-age, including subdomains, and enabling preload.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  5. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  6. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  7. Improve mobile optimization and accessibility to enhance user experience across devices.
  8. Maintain consistent branding and update trust indicators such as certifications and testimonials.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Wix platform, utilizing a comprehensive suite of Wix applications including Bookings, Pro Gallery, Stores, Blog, Members Area, and Chat. It employs React 18 and Lodash libraries, with Cloudflare as the hosting and CDN provider. The site features modern SEO metadata, Open Graph tags, and JSON-LD structured data for enhanced search engine visibility. Performance metrics are not explicitly provided but the use of modern technologies and CDN suggests moderate performance. Mobile optimization is basic, with some responsive features but not fully optimized. Accessibility features are present but could be improved. The technical infrastructure supports a rich, interactive user experience but requires security enhancements to meet industry standards.
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.
