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

The website www.modell-fahrzeug.com is a professionally designed media publishing platform operated by Delius Klasing Verlag GmbH, focusing on model vehicles, model cars, and related hobbies. It offers rich editorial content, news, interviews, and integrates e-commerce services for subscriptions and product sales. The target audience includes hobbyists, collectors, and enthusiasts of model vehicles. The site demonstrates a mature digital infrastructure using modern web technologies such as React, Next.js, and Shopify for commerce integration. It is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and professional branding. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of explicit security headers and a vulnerability disclosure page suggests room for improvement in security posture. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable, indicating the domain may be unregistered or there is an issue with WHOIS data retrieval, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy that should be verified. Overall, the website is a credible and trustworthy media platform with strong content quality and technical implementation. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy, and clarifying domain registration status to strengthen trust and compliance.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention modellfahrzeug.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for modellfahrzeug.de right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context

Business profile

Delius Klasing Verlag GmbH operates this niche media website targeting model vehicle enthusiasts in Germany. The business model revolves around content publishing combined with e-commerce for subscriptions and related products. The company leverages partnerships within its publishing group and maintains a presence on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram to engage its audience. The site’s content strategy includes news, interviews, and detailed articles, positioning it as a leading source in its niche. The integration with Shopify and digital kiosk services indicates a diversified revenue stream. The company appears medium-sized with a focused market position in the hobbyist media sector.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, supporting GDPR compliance. No exposed credentials or sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The use of third-party scripts like Marker.io for bug reporting is noted but appears controlled. The lack of visible HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS is a gap. There is no public vulnerability disclosure or incident response contact information, which limits transparency in security management. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from enhanced security headers and clearer incident response policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Add explicit incident response contact information, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate risks from external dependencies.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack featuring React and Next.js frameworks, providing server-side rendering and good SEO capabilities. It integrates Shopify Storefront API for e-commerce functionality and uses Cloudinary for media hosting, ensuring efficient content delivery. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed through optimization of scripts and assets. The technical infrastructure is robust but could be enhanced by adding security headers and improving hosting transparency.
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.
