The company targets agricultural producers, gardeners, and distributors seeking sustainable alternatives to chemical pesticides. The site is professionally designed, multilingual, and includes customer testimonials and partner logos, indicating a credible market position in the niche of natural plant protection. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins such as WPBakery, Slider Revolution, and WPML for multilingual support. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are used for analytics, with a cookie consent mechanism in place, reflecting good digital maturity. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data. However, some security headers are not explicitly detected, and no dedicated security or incident response policies are found on the site.

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. 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  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 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

  4. 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

MycoSolutions AG operates in a specialized sector of biological plant protection, leveraging fungal formulations to provide sustainable agricultural solutions. Their business model includes research services and product sales, targeting both B2B and B2C segments. The company maintains partnerships with landscape and tree care businesses, as evidenced by testimonials and linked partner domains. Their membership in IBMA adds industry credibility. The website content and structure support a professional image, aiding in customer trust and market positioning. Growth potential lies in expanding product offerings and increasing market penetration in sustainable agriculture.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data leaks. The presence of cookie consent and privacy policies indicates awareness of compliance requirements. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could be a gap in readiness for security incidents. The use of popular WordPress plugins necessitates regular updates to mitigate vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with additional policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Create and publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to reduce vulnerability risks.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and best practices.

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using well-known plugins for page building, multilingual support, and analytics integration. The tech stack includes WPBakery Page Builder, Slider Revolution, and WPML, indicating a flexible and scalable infrastructure. Google Tag Manager and Analytics are used for data collection with consent mechanisms in place. Performance is moderate, with good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization through proper meta tags and structured data. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. No hosting provider details are explicitly found. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business needs effectively with opportunities for security and accessibility enhancements.
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.
