Priority findings

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. DNS health

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

    • High

      Weak SPF Policy

      SPF record has permissive policy allowing any server to send email

      What to do: Use -all or ~all qualifier for better email security

  2. 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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 website operates as an information and content portal targeting classic vehicle enthusiasts and tourists interested in historical mobility in Germany. Its business model includes content provision, advertising, and promotion of a related museum guide book. The portal benefits from a network of partner museums and organizations, enhancing its credibility and reach. The site’s traffic and press mentions indicate steady growth and market acceptance. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a focus on online engagement rather than direct sales or support. Strategic partnerships with book sellers and museums strengthen its ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not detected, representing an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response information indicates limited transparency in security governance. Regular updates and security audits are recommended to maintain and enhance security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers like CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to patch vulnerabilities.
  4. Consider adding direct contact information such as company emails or phone numbers to enhance trust and user support.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3, utilizing popular plugins such as Yoast SEO, GS Logo Slider, and Testimonial Slider. It uses modern JavaScript libraries including React, Swiper.js, and Tippy.js for interactive UI components. The hosting appears to be managed via Your-Server.de based on nameservers. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The site uses Google Analytics for visitor tracking and has a GDPR-compliant cookie consent banner. There is room for technical improvement in security headers and accessibility compliance. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with standard CMS and plugin ecosystem.
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.
