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

ODAV AG is a well-established German IT company specializing in software and IT services for the crafts sector, with over 55 years of experience. The company offers industry-specific software solutions, IT consulting, outsourcing, data center services, and training, serving over a thousand craft businesses and organizations. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand with comprehensive content tailored to their target audience. Technically, the site uses Apache, jQuery, Bootstrap, and a proprietary CMS, but suffers from a critical lack of HTTPS due to an invalid or missing SSL certificate, which significantly impacts security posture. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a cookie consent mechanism and a comprehensive privacy policy. Business credibility is supported by multiple awards and active social media presence. Overall, the site is content-rich and user-friendly but requires urgent security improvements.

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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

    • 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

  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 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';…

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

The company holds a strong market position as a niche IT provider for the German crafts industry, leveraging long-standing relationships and recognized certifications. Their business model focuses on B2B software and IT services, with revenue streams from software licensing, IT outsourcing, and training services. The partnership ecosystem includes major technology vendors like Oracle, Cisco, and specialized service providers. Growth indicators include active recruitment and sustainability initiatives. The company maintains a professional digital presence with clear navigation and relevant content, supporting customer engagement and trust.

Security posture

The security maturity level is currently low due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support, exposing users to potential data interception risks. While some security headers are present, critical best practices such as effective HSTS, OCSP stapling, and session resumption are missing. No public incident response or security policy documentation was found, indicating potential gaps in transparency and readiness. The cookie consent implementation and privacy policy demonstrate awareness of GDPR compliance, but the lack of HTTPS undermines overall security and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Configure HSTS properly with includeSubDomains and preload directives to enforce secure connections.
  3. Enable OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve SSL performance and security.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom ODAV CMS version 1.23.1, using Apache server and modern JavaScript libraries like jQuery 3.7.1 and Bootstrap for responsive design. Cookie consent is managed via Klaro, and analytics are handled by Matomo with privacy controls. Performance metrics indicate slow loading, possibly due to lack of optimization or server configuration. Accessibility and SEO are well addressed with proper meta tags, ARIA landmarks, and structured navigation. The absence of HTTPS is a critical technical debt that must be resolved to protect user data and improve trust.
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.
