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

Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co. KG operates a professional status page at mittwald-status.de, providing real-time system status and incident history primarily for its hosting and cloud service customers. The website is well-branded, consistent, and targets its existing customer base with clear service availability information. The technical infrastructure leverages Cloudflare DNS and nameservers, a valid SSL certificate, and the Statuspal platform for status management, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS, SPF, and DMARC configured, but improvements such as enabling HSTS, DNSSEC, and security headers are recommended. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism and vulnerability disclosure policy suggests room for enhanced privacy and security compliance. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professionally maintained, with minor technical and security enhancements advised to strengthen its posture.

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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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. 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"

  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 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

Mittwald is positioned as a medium-sized technology company specializing in hosting, managed servers, and cloud services in Germany. Its business model focuses on providing reliable infrastructure and customer support, evidenced by detailed status reporting and incident transparency. The company maintains a clear brand presence and consistent communication channels, including a dedicated support email. While no explicit partnerships or subsidiaries are listed, the use of Cloudflare and Statuspal indicates integration with established technology providers. The company targets business customers requiring stable hosting solutions, with a focus on uptime and service reliability. Growth indicators include frequent planned maintenance and transparent incident management, reflecting operational maturity.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security maturity with HTTPS enforced via a valid SSL certificate and DNS records configured with SPF and DMARC for email protection. However, the lack of DNSSEC, HSTS, and security headers reduces the overall security robustness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected, and no subdomain takeover risks exist. The absence of a security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates limited formal security governance publicly visible. Compliance with GDPR is supported by a comprehensive privacy policy, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing. Incident response readiness could be improved by publishing dedicated security contacts. Overall, the security posture is functional but could benefit from adopting additional best practices and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload to enhance HTTPS security.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Activate DNSSEC to protect DNS integrity and prevent spoofing.
  4. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  5. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern HTML5 and CSS3 structure with JavaScript for dynamic content, hosted on Cloudflare infrastructure with DNS and nameservers managed by Cloudflare. The status page is powered by Statuspal, a specialized platform for status and incident management. Performance is moderate with a page load time of approximately 4.6 seconds and a small number of resources. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility and SEO features are basic. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or platform-based implementation. The use of hCaptcha indicates bot mitigation efforts. Technical risks include missing security headers and lack of DNSSEC, which could be addressed to reduce attack surface and improve resilience.
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.
