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. 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

  2. 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

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

Next AG operates as a small-sized technology and e-commerce service provider with a focus on regional businesses and organizations. Their business model centers on full-service digital solutions, leveraging modern technologies like TYPO3 CMS, Shopware, Laravel, and Vue.js. The company maintains strategic partnerships with software vendors such as Abacus and Shopware, enhancing their competitive advantage. Their client base includes diverse sectors requiring tailored online presence and e-commerce capabilities. Growth indicators include active blog content, continuous service expansion, and integration of AI modules for online shops.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced, presence of key security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Privacy compliance is evident through a cookie consent banner and a comprehensive privacy policy. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response contact page and lack of a vulnerability disclosure mechanism indicate areas for improvement. The use of third-party analytics and tag management is implemented with asynchronous loading, minimizing performance impact. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing security governance and disclosure practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and CMS plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to comply with latest standards and improve user inclusivity.
  5. Maintain and communicate clear data retention policies related to analytics and user data.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including TYPO3 CMS, Shopware, WordPress, Laravel, and Vue.js frameworks. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for marketing and analytics purposes. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses lazy loading for images to improve performance. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate with potential for optimization in loading speed. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence with room for further modernization 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.
