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

The website netpiloten.de hosts a Matomo analytics platform login page, indicating it is used for web analytics data collection and reporting. The platform is open-source and free/libre, targeting users who require detailed visitor tracking and analytics. The site itself is primarily a login portal without public-facing business content, policies, or contact information. Technically, the site uses Matomo's standard JavaScript and PHP backend, served over HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication. However, the absence of security headers and limited visible security controls suggest room for improvement in hardening the platform. Privacy compliance is minimal, with no visible privacy or cookie policies, which is a significant gap given the nature of data analytics services. The WHOIS data is sparse, showing only domain status and name servers, with no registrant details, which limits trust assessment. Overall, the site appears functional for its purpose but lacks transparency and comprehensive compliance documentation.

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. 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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. 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

  3. 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

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

Netpiloten.de operates as a technology service provider focusing on web analytics through the Matomo platform. The business model revolves around offering analytics tools that empower website owners to track visitor behavior and generate reports. The target audience includes website administrators and digital marketers seeking privacy-friendly analytics solutions. The lack of public business information and contact details limits insight into market positioning and partnerships. The domain uses third-party DNS hosting, which is common but should be monitored for consistency. No evident certifications or trust signals are present on the login page.

Security posture

The security posture of the site is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, which is essential for protecting user credentials during login. The login form includes nonce tokens to prevent CSRF attacks and references two-factor authentication, indicating awareness of security best practices. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces the overall security robustness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The disabled submit button on the login form may affect usability and could be a security control or a UX issue. The site would benefit from enhanced security configurations and visible privacy compliance measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies on accessible URLs to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Provide visible contact information and security incident response contacts to enhance transparency and compliance.
  4. Enable and enforce two-factor authentication for all users to strengthen account security.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and remediate potential risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The site runs on the Matomo analytics platform, utilizing PHP and JavaScript technologies. The presence of deferred JavaScript loading and manifest files suggests a modern approach to resource loading. However, the site lacks visible SEO optimizations and accessibility features beyond basic levels. Performance appears moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading, but the login page is minimalistic. Hosting details are not explicit, but DNS points to domainssaubillig.de name servers, indicating third-party DNS management. The site does not expose CMS or other platform details beyond Matomo. There is an opportunity to improve technical SEO, accessibility, and security configurations to enhance overall digital maturity.
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.
