51/100

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

Parkett Magazin is a specialized German media publisher focused on providing daily news and industry insights for the parquet and flooring sector. The website serves professionals such as manufacturers, retailers, and installers by delivering relevant news, product updates, and event coverage. The business operates under SN-Verlag Michael Steinert with a clear presence in Hamburg, Germany. The site offers magazine issues, newsletters, and advertising opportunities, positioning itself as a niche industry publication with a loyal readership. Technically, the website uses standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, with Matomo analytics for privacy-conscious user tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and includes SEO best practices such as Open Graph metadata and canonical URLs. However, it lacks visible security headers and a cookie consent mechanism, which are areas for improvement. Hosting and analytics services are professional and consistent with the business model. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. The absence of security headers and explicit security policies suggests moderate security maturity. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were found. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent banner. Contact information is comprehensive, enhancing trustworthiness. Overall, Parkett Magazin presents a professional and trustworthy online presence with good content quality and business credibility. Strategic improvements in security headers, cookie consent, and incident response transparency would enhance its security posture and compliance standing.

Both readouts depend on the site's pages, which could not be loaded in this scan.

Priority findings

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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

  3. 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
      • 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

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

Parkett Magazin occupies a niche media segment serving the parquet and flooring industry in Germany. Its competitive advantage lies in specialized, timely industry news and a focused target audience of industry professionals. The business model centers on publishing, advertising, and newsletter distribution, generating revenue through subscriptions and advertising sales. The company maintains partnerships with related media domains (snfachpresse.de/com) and uses third-party services for analytics and email marketing. Growth indicators include regular content updates and active newsletter campaigns. The company operates with a small but professional team, leveraging digital channels to maintain market presence. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to expand digital engagement and improve compliance to strengthen market position.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of Matomo analytics reflects a privacy-conscious approach. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or security policy information is published, limiting transparency. GDPR compliance is partial due to missing cookie consent mechanisms. No vulnerabilities or malware were detected in the content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a media site but would benefit from enhanced headers, explicit security policies, and cookie consent to mitigate risks and improve compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with EU regulations.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Consider deploying a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability and compliance with standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a straightforward technology stack with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. It leverages Matomo for analytics, which is a privacy-friendly alternative to mainstream trackers. The site is mobile-optimized and includes SEO-friendly metadata such as Open Graph tags and canonical URLs. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. No CMS or advanced frameworks were detected, indicating a custom or lightweight implementation. Hosting details are limited but the use of viakom.cloud for analytics suggests professional infrastructure. Technical risks are low but the absence of security headers and cookie consent mechanisms represent modernization opportunities to enhance security and compliance.
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.
