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

Outsite Media GmbH is a medium-sized German company specializing in out-of-home (OOH) media advertising, offering services such as Riesenposter, Beamboards, Media walls, and Citybanner. Founded in 2007, the company positions itself strongly in the market with a focus on sustainability and green marketing solutions, catering to advertisers and property owners seeking impactful and environmentally conscious advertising options. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with good content quality and active social media engagement. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme and several plugins including Revolution Slider, Contact Form 7, and Usercentrics for cookie consent management. SEO is well addressed with Yoast SEO and structured data implementation. However, the site currently lacks a valid SSL certificate and does not support modern TLS protocols, which is a significant security concern. Performance is moderate with a page load time of about 5.5 seconds, and mobile optimization is good. From a security perspective, the absence of HTTPS and security headers, along with missing DMARC and CAA records, exposes the site to potential risks. The presence of a valid SPF record is a positive aspect for email security. Cookie consent is properly managed via Usercentrics, indicating GDPR compliance. No explicit security policies or incident response information are found on the site. Overall, while the business and technical infrastructure are solid for its market niche, urgent improvements in SSL/TLS configuration and security best practices are recommended to enhance trust and protect user data.

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

6 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

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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

Outsite Media GmbH operates in the media sector, focusing on OOH advertising with a sustainable approach. Their competitive advantage lies in their green marketing positioning and long-standing client relationships with notable brands. The business model revolves around providing advertising space and campaign management, targeting advertisers and property owners. The company demonstrates growth and market relevance through active content updates and social media presence. Partnerships with sustainability initiatives like Seaqual and the use of environmental technologies like theBreath reinforce their market differentiation. Revenue streams likely include advertising sales and media package offerings. The company maintains a medium size with a clear focus on German markets.

Security posture

The current security posture of the website is basic with significant gaps. The lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols means data transmitted may not be encrypted, exposing users to interception risks. Missing security headers and absence of DMARC and CAA records further weaken email and domain security. The presence of a valid SPF record is a positive but insufficient alone. Cookie consent management via Usercentrics indicates awareness of privacy regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which may impact trust and readiness for security events. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, requiring immediate remediation of SSL/TLS and security configurations to meet industry standards and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire website.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable all insecure protocols.
  3. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Add DMARC and CAA DNS records to improve email authentication and certificate issuance control.
  5. Publish clear security and incident response policies on the website to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  6. Regularly audit and update plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  7. Enhance website performance optimization to improve load times and user experience.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a mature and popular CMS platform (WordPress) with a well-known theme (Divi) and several plugins for functionality including sliders, contact forms, and newsletter integration. The technical stack supports good SEO and user experience features. Hosting is provided by Ionos, as indicated by DNS and MX records. Performance is moderate with a page size of approximately 400KB and load time around 5.5 seconds, suggesting room for optimization. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility is basic. The absence of SSL/TLS is a critical technical risk. The site uses Usercentrics for cookie consent, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. Overall, the infrastructure is standard but requires security upgrades 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.
