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

NEXT Farming is a specialized provider of digital farming solutions targeting agricultural businesses of all sizes, primarily in Germany. Their offerings include software for cultivation planning, precision farming, remote sensing, machine communication, and other farm management services. The website is built on TYPO3 CMS and integrates modern marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. The site is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks published security policies and incident response contacts, which are areas for improvement. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is unusual and slightly impacts trust, though the professional website presence suggests legitimacy. Overall, the site scores well on content quality, technical implementation, and security posture, with room to enhance privacy compliance and business credibility through more transparent contact and security information.

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

4 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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
  3. 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.

Business context

Business profile

NEXT Farming positions itself as a key player in the agricultural technology sector, focusing on digital transformation for farms. Their business model revolves around providing software solutions and supplementary services that streamline farm management and support digital agriculture 4.0. The target customers are farmers and agricultural contractors seeking precision and efficiency. The company leverages partnerships with major platforms like Google and Meta for marketing and analytics, indicating a strategic approach to customer engagement. While the website lacks explicit company registration or VAT details, the professional presentation and multilingual support (English and German) suggest a medium-sized enterprise with a solid market presence in Germany. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers may limit immediate customer trust but is mitigated by a contact form. The company could benefit from publishing more detailed corporate and compliance information to strengthen credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good baseline security posture with HTTPS enforced and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. The use of Cookiebot and Google Tag Manager indicates awareness of privacy and tracking regulations. However, the site lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. There is no visible security policy or incident response information, which are important for transparency and trust. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The missing WHOIS data raises a minor concern regarding domain registration transparency. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good, with recommendations to publish security policies, add security headers, and provide incident response contacts to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Provide direct company contact emails and phone numbers to enhance business credibility and customer trust.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Monitor and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and trustworthiness.

It employs modern web technologies including Bootstrap for responsive design, Google Tag Manager for analytics management, and Cookiebot for cookie consent compliance. The site loads asynchronously loaded scripts for performance optimization and integrates YouTube iframe API for embedded video content. The meta tags and SEO plugins indicate good search engine optimization practices. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility features.

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.
