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 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. 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"

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

  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
  • 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 operates in the media sector, focusing on publishing and selling children's and youth books. Its business model revolves around content creation and e-commerce sales. The market position is strong within the German-speaking market, leveraging well-known literary properties. The company benefits from a clear digital presence and partnerships with major social media and marketing platforms. Revenue streams likely include book sales and licensing. The target customer segment is families, educators, and young readers. The website's integration of multiple analytics and marketing tools indicates a mature digital marketing strategy. No subsidiaries or parent companies were identified from the data. The company maintains a consistent brand image and trust signals such as HTTPS and cookie compliance.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, including HSTS, CSP, and X-Frame-Options. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, ensuring GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page and incident response contact reduces transparency and preparedness perception. The use of third-party scripts for analytics and marketing introduces some risk, but no immediate vulnerabilities were found. Recommendations include publishing a security policy, establishing incident response contacts, and maintaining regular security audits of third-party integrations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email).
  3. Consider implementing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by detailing data retention policies and security measures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by Drupal 10 with the Thunder distribution, indicating a modern and scalable CMS infrastructure. It uses jQuery and integrates Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Cookiebot for analytics and privacy compliance. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO metadata and structured data (JSON-LD) for organization and website information. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple external scripts. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. The site uses standard security headers and HTTPS, contributing to a secure environment. Opportunities exist to improve technical documentation of security and incident response capabilities.
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.
