Risk levelMedium

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

People to People is a German-based small business specializing in socially conscious group travel, cultural products, books, and specialty goods. Their website reflects a niche market focus with offerings that combine e-commerce and travel services. The technical infrastructure is based on Shopware CMS with Matomo analytics, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity and privacy awareness. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and explicit privacy compliance mechanisms. The absence of direct contact emails and phone numbers reduces immediate customer trust signals. Overall, the website is accessible, well-structured, and professionally presented but could improve in privacy compliance and security best practices.

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

5 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"

  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

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

The company targets socially conscious travelers and customers interested in cultural and political literature and products. Their business model integrates e-commerce with travel services, focusing on group tours and cultural exchange. Market positioning is niche with a focus on German-speaking customers. Partnerships such as with 'Mediengruppe Neuer Weg' suggest a collaborative ecosystem. Growth indicators include regular updates on group travel and cultural events. Revenue streams likely include travel bookings, book sales, and specialty product sales. The company maintains consistent branding and content quality, supporting credibility in their sector.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses Matomo analytics, which respects user privacy better than many alternatives. However, it lacks important security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which limits transparency in security matters. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms and detailed GDPR compliance statements indicates potential compliance gaps. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved with standard best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive cookie consent and privacy banners to comply with GDPR.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a detailed privacy policy with explicit GDPR compliance information.
  4. Provide clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure contact information.
  5. Include direct company contact emails and phone numbers to enhance trust and customer support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopware CMS, a popular e-commerce platform, and uses Matomo for analytics, indicating a preference for privacy-conscious tools. The site is mobile optimized and uses responsive design techniques. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. The HTML and CSS are valid and well-structured, supporting good SEO basics. However, the site lacks advanced accessibility features and some SEO optimizations could be improved. Hosting appears to be with a German provider (ipn.de), consistent with the business location. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization in security and privacy features.
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.
