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

Nordicweb GmbH is a well-established German technology service provider specializing in web design, hosting, online marketing, print design, and photography services. With over 15 years of experience and a strong regional presence in Germany, Denmark, and Spain, the company offers tailored digital solutions for businesses of various sizes and budgets. Their market position is reinforced by certifications such as the Google Partner Badge and local awards recognizing their web design excellence. Technically, the website employs a mix of modern and legacy technologies including jQuery, Prototype.js, Scriptaculous, and the Foundation CSS framework. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, with a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. Hosting details are not explicitly stated, but domain registration is stable and long-standing. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with SSL encryption and implements cookie consent with opt-in for analytics tracking. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no explicit security headers were detected in the HTML content. The use of older JavaScript libraries may pose potential vulnerabilities if not regularly updated. No published security policies or incident response contacts were found. Overall, the website demonstrates a good balance of professionalism, technical implementation, and privacy compliance, with minor security improvements recommended. The domain registration data supports the legitimacy and trustworthiness of the business. Strategic enhancements in security posture and transparency would further strengthen their risk profile.

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. Network security

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

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • 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
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
  2. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

    • 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';…
  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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Nordicweb GmbH operates as a small-sized essential entity in the technology sector, focusing on web design and digital marketing services. Their business model centers on providing comprehensive digital solutions including responsive websites, SEO, Google Ads management, email hosting, and ongoing support. The company targets businesses primarily in Germany and neighboring European countries, leveraging local market knowledge and certifications to maintain competitive advantage. Their partnership with Google and recognition through awards indicate a credible and trusted market position. Revenue streams likely derive from project-based web design, hosting subscriptions, and marketing services. The company emphasizes personalized customer service with free initial consultations, enhancing client retention and satisfaction. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, suggesting an independent operation with a focused regional footprint.

Security posture

The current security maturity level of Nordicweb GmbH's website is moderate. The presence of HTTPS and SSL encryption ensures secure data transmission, and the implementation of a GDPR-compliant cookie consent banner with opt-in for Google Analytics reflects good privacy practices. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options indicates gaps in defense-in-depth strategies. The use of older JavaScript libraries like Prototype.js and Scriptaculous could expose the site to known vulnerabilities if not actively maintained. No explicit incident response or security policy documentation is available, which may hinder rapid response to security events. Overall, while basic security hygiene is observed, there is room for improvement in proactive security measures and transparency to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Audit and update all JavaScript libraries to their latest secure versions or replace legacy libraries with modern alternatives.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  5. Regularly review and test the cookie consent mechanism and privacy compliance to ensure ongoing adherence to GDPR and related regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website infrastructure is built on a combination of legacy and modern web technologies, including jQuery, Prototype.js, Scriptaculous, and the Foundation CSS framework. The site is mobile-responsive and optimized for SEO with appropriate meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with some potential for improvement through optimization of scripts and assets. The use of a custom CMS is implied, which may require ongoing maintenance to ensure security and scalability. Hosting details are not explicitly disclosed, but domain registration is managed by InterNetX GmbH. The site employs Google Analytics with IP anonymization and a cookie consent opt-in mechanism, reflecting a mature approach to user privacy. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack, enhance security headers, and improve accessibility features to elevate the overall technical quality.
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.
