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

Montano Real Estate GmbH is a specialized investment and asset management company focused on the German commercial real estate market. Founded in 2013, it offers tailored investment products and manages assets exceeding 1.6 billion euros, targeting institutional investors seeking secure and high-yield opportunities. The company emphasizes sustainable value creation and maintains partnerships with major players such as Carlyle Group and Beyond Real Estate Holding. The website is professionally designed with good navigation and mobile optimization, utilizing modern web technologies like Bootstrap and jQuery. However, it lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, security headers, and visible contact information, which are areas for improvement. The domain registration is consistent with the business claims, indicating legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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

7 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

  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

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

      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

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.

Business context

Business profile

Security posture

The website currently exhibits a basic security posture with no detected security headers or explicit security policies. HTTPS usage is assumed but not confirmed from the provided data. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No signs of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found in the HTML content. To enhance security maturity, Montano should implement standard security headers, provide clear privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms, and establish incident response contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve security posture.
  3. Publish clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update technical infrastructure to maintain modern standards and performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack including Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity. The HTML structure is valid and supports mobile optimization. Performance is moderate with no heavy scripts detected. SEO optimization is basic with minimal meta description and keywords. Accessibility features are limited but navigation is clear. Hosting and domain registration are managed by reputable providers. There is no detected CMS, indicating a custom or static site approach. The site could benefit from enhanced SEO metadata and accessibility improvements.
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.
