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

ogy.de is a German-based URL shortening service focused on providing secure, privacy-friendly short links with integrated phishing and malware protection. The service offers a variety of features including multi-link lists, email links, QR code generation, and enterprise solutions. The website is well-structured, primarily in German, and targets general internet users and businesses seeking safe link shortening solutions. Technically, the site uses a modern JavaScript stack with jQuery and related libraries, but does not rely on a CMS. Security is well considered with HTTPS, CSRF tokens, and malware checks, though some security headers are missing. Privacy compliance is strong with a comprehensive privacy policy, but lacks a cookie consent mechanism. Contact is available via a contact form and an abuse reporting page. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-positioned in its niche.

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. 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 business operates in the technology sector, specifically in URL shortening and link management. It differentiates itself by emphasizing security and privacy, including malware and phishing protection and referrer anonymization. The business model likely includes free basic services with optional paid enterprise features and API access. The target audience includes general internet users, developers, and companies requiring secure link management. The company is small-sized, based in Germany, with no visible parent or subsidiary companies. The website content and service offerings indicate a focused niche market presence with a consistent brand and good trust signals.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, CSRF protection in forms, and active malware and phishing scanning of shortened URLs. Password protection and referrer removal features enhance user security. However, the absence of common security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Incident response is supported by an abuse reporting page, but no explicit security policy or vulnerability disclosure program is published. GDPR compliance is supported by a comprehensive privacy policy, though cookie consent mechanisms are missing. Overall, the security posture is strong but could be improved with additional headers and formal security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply fully with GDPR cookie regulations.
  3. Publish a formal security policy and vulnerability disclosure program to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents, such as a dedicated security@ email address.
  5. Improve mobile responsiveness and accessibility to enhance user experience across devices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom-built front end with jQuery and jQuery UI libraries, indicating a traditional but stable technology stack. No CMS or modern frameworks like React or Angular were detected. The site loads multiple JavaScript and CSS resources from its own domain, suggesting self-hosting. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization indicators. SEO is supported by meta tags including description and keywords. Accessibility features are basic, with some ARIA labels present. The site is not fully mobile optimized but uses a fixed viewport width. There is no evidence of third-party analytics or tracking scripts, supporting privacy. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from modernization and performance tuning.
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.
