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. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. 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

  4. DNS health

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

    • High

      Potential Subdomain Takeover

      Subdomain api.pcvisit.de points to unregistered service d1lp3x6eyvbful.cloudfront.net

      What to do: Remove or fix CNAME record to prevent subdomain takeover

      • WSTG-CONF-10
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory

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

pcvisit Software AG operates in the competitive remote software market, targeting IT experts, service providers, and enterprises requiring secure remote access and support tools. Their business model centers on SaaS offerings with subscription pricing starting at 199 EUR/year, emphasizing fair pricing and feature-rich solutions. The company leverages customer testimonials, industry awards, and external reviews to build credibility. Their partnership ecosystem includes Atlassian for support ticketing and dedicated status and download domains, indicating a mature operational infrastructure. Growth indicators include active webinars, podcasts, and community engagement, positioning pcvisit as a thought leader in remote IT support within Germany.

Security posture

The security maturity of pcvisit is solid, with HTTPS enforced and data hosted on German servers, aligning with GDPR requirements. The presence of cookie consent and detailed privacy policies indicates compliance awareness. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No incident response or abuse contact information is publicly available, which could be enhanced to improve security readiness. No known vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the security posture supports business continuity and customer trust but could benefit from additional hardening and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Provide a dedicated incident response or abuse contact page to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve security transparency.
  3. Consider publishing a security.txt file to formalize vulnerability disclosure processes and build trust with security researchers.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included and maintain up-to-date software versions.
  5. Enhance user education and communication around security features like two-factor authentication to strengthen security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern WordPress CMS with a comprehensive set of plugins for SEO (Rank Math), caching (WP Rocket), cookie management (Borlabs Cookie), and scheduling (Simply Schedule Appointments). The use of Amazon AWS DNS servers indicates professional hosting infrastructure. Performance optimizations such as lazy loading, preconnect hints, and minified CSS/JS are implemented, contributing to fast load times. The site is fully responsive with mobile-optimized layouts and accessibility considerations. Technical debt appears low, with opportunities to further modernize security headers and incident response capabilities.
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.
