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

Numaferm is a German biotechnology company specializing in the discovery, optimization, and production of peptides, pepteins, and proteins for life sciences and related industries. The company leverages proprietary technologies such as Numascreen™ and Numatech™ to deliver innovative, cost-effective, and sustainable bioprocess solutions from lead discovery to commercial manufacturing. Their market position is strengthened by partnerships with academic institutions and industry leaders, and they maintain ISO 9001:2015 certification to ensure quality standards. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern SEO and analytics tools including Yoast SEO, Google Analytics, and Google Tag Manager. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, with clear navigation and professional design. Hosting is provided by IONOS SE, a reputable provider. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and some security headers are missing, indicating room for improvement in security hardening. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data detected. The site implements a cookie consent mechanism but lacks explicit privacy and terms of service pages, as well as a published security policy or incident response contacts. WHOIS data shows privacy protection but aligns with the company's German location and business age, supporting legitimacy. Overall, Numaferm presents a professional and trustworthy online presence suitable for its biotech B2B audience. Strategic improvements in privacy documentation, security headers, and incident response transparency would enhance compliance and trust further.

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"

    • 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';…

  2. DNS health

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

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 16 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

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.

Add-on

Leaked records that mention numaferm.com, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Numaferm operates in the healthcare and manufacturing sectors, focusing on peptide and protein bioprocessing. Their business model is B2B, serving pharmaceutical, agricultural, aquaculture, and biotech clients. They offer lead discovery, cell line and process development, and commercial GMP supply services. The company has a strong partnership ecosystem including RWTH Aachen and Zoetis, which supports innovation and market reach. Their competitive advantage lies in proprietary technologies and sustainable production methods. The company is relatively young (founded 2015) but has established credibility through certifications and successful projects. Revenue streams likely include service contracts and licensing agreements. The website content and structure indicate a growth-oriented, innovation-driven company with a clear focus on quality and sustainability.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and no sensitive data leaks are evident. The presence of cookie consent indicates awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security.txt, and explicit security policies limits the security posture. Missing security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduce protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or malware were detected in the HTML content. Incident response readiness is unclear due to lack of published contacts. Compliance with GDPR is partial, as privacy policy is missing. Overall, the security culture appears professional but could benefit from formalizing policies and enhancing technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to enhance legal compliance and user trust.
  3. Implement and publish a security policy and incident response contact information, including a security.txt file.
  4. Add recommended security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the website.
  5. Regularly review and update cookie consent mechanisms and privacy compliance to align with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 with Yoast SEO plugin for search engine optimization and Google Site Kit for analytics integration. It uses Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for user tracking and marketing insights. The front-end includes Bootstrap-based responsive design and Slick Slider for image carousels. Hosting is provided by IONOS SE, a reputable German registrar and hosting provider. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. Accessibility features are basic but present. The site lacks DNSSEC and some security headers, which are technical risks. The technology stack is modern but could be improved with enhanced security configurations and performance optimizations.
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.
