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

MRH Trowe is a large, internationally active, owner-managed insurance broker headquartered in Germany, positioned among the top 10 industrial brokers in the country. The company specializes in developing tailored and sustainable insurance solutions and consulting concepts for both business and private clients. Their business model emphasizes independence and comprehensive service, supported by a broad network and a workforce exceeding 1700 employees. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, showcasing multiple certifications and strong customer trust indicators such as high ratings on ProvenExpert and Kununu. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins including Gravity Forms for data collection, CleanTalk for anti-spam, and CookieMonkey for cookie consent management. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, though performance is moderate. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and bot detection mechanisms in place; however, the absence of visible security headers and a formal security policy or vulnerability disclosure reduces the overall security maturity. The WHOIS data is notably missing or unavailable, which introduces some uncertainty regarding domain registration legitimacy. Despite this, the website content, certifications, and business presence strongly suggest a legitimate and established business. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy, cookie consent mechanisms, and a named data protection contact. Overall, MRH Trowe presents a trustworthy and professional digital presence with room for improvement in security transparency and WHOIS data clarity. Strategic enhancements in security headers and incident response disclosures would further strengthen their security posture and stakeholder confidence.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

MRH Trowe holds a strong market position as a top industrial insurance broker in Germany, leveraging a large employee base and an extensive broker network (MRH Trowe Connect). Their competitive advantage lies in personalized, sustainable insurance and financial solutions tailored to defined target groups, including corporate clients, private clients, and specialized sectors. The company’s revenue streams likely include brokerage commissions, consulting fees, and financial services. Growth indicators include recent management expansions and integration of specialized subsidiaries. The partnership ecosystem includes credit rating agencies and certification bodies, enhancing credibility. The company’s operations are supported by a modern digital infrastructure and active social media engagement, facilitating client interaction and brand visibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, anti-spam and bot detection technologies deployed, and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options represents a gap in defense-in-depth strategies. No public security policy or incident response information is available, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, limiting transparency and preparedness communication. Data protection officer contact is provided, indicating compliance awareness. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing security policies and improving HTTP header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and stakeholder trust.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting and remediation of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate risks from vulnerable components.
  5. Clarify domain registration details and consider removing privacy protection if appropriate to enhance domain legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using modern and widely adopted plugins such as Gravity Forms for form management and CleanTalk for spam protection. The use of CookieMonkey for cookie consent indicates compliance with privacy regulations. The site includes responsive design elements and accessibility features, contributing to a positive user experience. Performance is moderate, with potential optimization opportunities in asset loading and caching. The technical stack is standard for enterprise websites in the insurance sector, balancing functionality and compliance. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance tuning.
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.
