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

PC CADDIE AG is a specialized software provider focused on golf club and golf course management solutions. The company positions itself as a market leader in the golf IT sector, offering a comprehensive suite of products including customer management, reception and proshop integration, golf course and school management, online booking and tournament management, and hosting services. Their target audience includes golf clubs, commercial golf facilities, golf associations, and tournament agencies primarily in German-speaking countries and Switzerland. The website is professionally designed, content-rich, and provides extensive customer references and testimonials, reinforcing its credibility and market position. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS and employs modern web technologies including JavaScript, CSS, and Google reCAPTCHA for form security. The presence of mobile app links for Android and iOS indicates a mature digital infrastructure. Hosting is managed via agenturserver nameservers, and the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration. Performance and mobile optimization are rated as moderate to good, with room for improvement in accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices such as HTTPS enforcement, use of CAPTCHA, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, it lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms like a security.txt file. Additional security headers could enhance protection. Privacy compliance is strong, with clear privacy and cookie policies and GDPR adherence. Overall, PC CADDIE AG presents a trustworthy and professional online presence with a solid business model and technical foundation. Strategic improvements in security transparency and accessibility could further strengthen their posture.

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

    • 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. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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

PC CADDIE AG operates in a niche market providing integrated software solutions for golf clubs and related organizations. Their competitive advantage lies in a comprehensive product suite tailored to golf operations, strong customer support, and integration capabilities with hotel and restaurant systems. Revenue streams likely include software licensing, hosting packages, training seminars, and support services. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem with notable golf resorts and clubs, enhancing its market credibility. Growth indicators include active social media engagement, regular news updates, and ongoing training events. The business model focuses on B2B relationships with golf clubs and associations, emphasizing long-term client retention through service quality and product reliability.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS encryption, use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, and provision of a secure remote support tool (RustDesk). No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a compliance gap. Security headers are minimal, and additional headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options would enhance defense-in-depth. The company should consider formalizing its security governance and incident response readiness to align with best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  3. Add additional HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the TYPO3 CMS platform, leveraging a modern tech stack including JavaScript and CSS. It integrates Google reCAPTCHA for form security and provides mobile app links indicating cross-platform support. Hosting is managed by agenturserver, as indicated by the nameservers. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization, though accessibility could be improved. SEO is well addressed with appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. The site uses compressed assets for CSS and JS, indicating optimization efforts. Opportunities exist to modernize security headers and enhance accessibility compliance to reduce technical debt and improve resilience.
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.
