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

notara is a German technology company specializing in digital data capture and management solutions tailored for notary offices. Their SaaS platform offers modules for digital data sheets, client communication, and integration with legal office software, positioning them as a niche provider in the legal tech market in Germany. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear contact options and a focus on ease of use for legal professionals. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with the Divi theme, integrating modern tools such as Google Analytics and Cal.com for scheduling. While the site uses HTTPS and standard tracking tools, it lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, as well as detailed security policies or incident response information. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for improvement in compliance and transparency. The domain registration data is consistent and legitimate, supporting the business credibility. Strategic recommendations include implementing comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, adding security headers, and providing incident response contacts to enhance trust and compliance.

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

  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. 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.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain: ms35117860.msv1.invalid

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

      • RFC 5321 §5.1
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory
      • NIST CM-8: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-8: System Component Inventory

  5. 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

notara operates in the legal technology sector, targeting notary offices across Germany with digital solutions that streamline data entry and client management. Their business model is SaaS-based, offering modular software products with some features marked as 'coming soon,' indicating ongoing development and growth potential. The company leverages partnerships with scheduling platforms and integrates with common legal software, enhancing their ecosystem. The website's content and structured data suggest a small-sized company with a focused market niche. The presence of demo and callback options indicates a customer-centric approach aimed at conversion and engagement. The lack of extensive certifications or broader corporate information suggests a lean operation focused on product delivery rather than large-scale enterprise presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of a published security policy or incident response contacts indicate gaps in security maturity. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file, which are best practices for transparency and responsible vulnerability management. The use of third-party tracking and analytics is standard but should be accompanied by clear privacy and cookie consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small SaaS provider but requires enhancements to meet higher compliance and trust standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and prominently link a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with explicit user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a security policy and provide clear incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses) to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and improve security culture.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular audits to improve usability for all users, including those with disabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Divi theme, which provides a flexible and visually appealing design. The integration of jQuery, Google Fonts, Google Analytics, and third-party scheduling tools like Cal.com indicates a mature digital infrastructure. Hosting appears to be provided by netcup, a reputable German hosting provider. Performance is moderate with some minified CSS and JS assets, though there is a noted caching permission issue for WP-Optimize minify cache. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and mobile menu toggles. SEO is supported by Rank Math PRO plugin and structured data in JSON-LD format, enhancing search engine visibility. Technical risks include the lack of advanced security headers and incomplete privacy compliance, which could impact user trust and regulatory adherence.
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.
