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

on-collect solutions AG operates a legaltech cloud platform specializing in debt collection and receivables management, primarily serving companies in the energy sector in Germany. The company combines software as a service with consulting and legal expertise to optimize the entire customer lifecycle in receivables management. Their platform integrates seamlessly with ERP systems and offers automated processing, digital file management, and comprehensive reporting. The website positions on-collect as a pioneer in legaltech with over 200 customers using their SaaS solution. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with Elementor and Bootstrap, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and Matomo for privacy-conscious analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and demonstrates good SEO practices, though some accessibility features could be enhanced. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no obvious vulnerabilities, but lacks some security headers and formal security policies. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by adding explicit privacy and cookie policies, incident response information, and security headers. The domain WHOIS data is consistent with the business claims, supporting legitimacy. No blocking or WAF challenges were detected, allowing full content analysis. Strategic recommendations include enhancing privacy compliance, publishing security and incident response policies, and implementing security headers to strengthen trust and compliance with GDPR and related regulations.

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

12 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

  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.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: SMB

      Port 445 (SMB) is publicly accessible - SMB - Windows file sharing, high risk

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to SMB using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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"

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 · found on this site
  • 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

on-collect solutions AG is positioned as an essential player in the German energy sector's receivables management market, offering a hybrid SaaS and consulting model. Their competitive advantage lies in combining IT solutions with legal and operational expertise, targeting medium-sized enterprises and utilities. The business model relies on monthly fees without success-based commissions, appealing to clients seeking transparent cost structures. The company emphasizes integration flexibility and process automation, indicating a mature product-market fit. Testimonials and references from energy companies reinforce market credibility. Growth potential exists in expanding digital transformation services within regulated industries. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, suggesting an independent medium-sized enterprise.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of updated libraries. The absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a notable gap that could expose the site to clickjacking or content injection risks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The use of Matomo with cookies disabled indicates privacy-conscious analytics practices. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests limited formal security governance. Compliance with GDPR is partial due to missing explicit privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a business website but should be enhanced to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with explicit GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Establish and publicize an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy with dedicated contact channels.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide clear cookie consent mechanisms to improve user trust and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder and Bootstrap framework, ensuring responsive design and good user experience. JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and jQuery UI are used for UI components and date pickers. Matomo analytics is integrated with cookies disabled, reflecting privacy awareness. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets from its own domain and trusted sources. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in asset optimization. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. The site lacks some advanced accessibility features and security headers, which are recommended for modernization and risk reduction.
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.
