Neue Pierrot le Fou operates as a niche German film distribution company specializing in independent and horror films, offering DVDs, Blu-Rays, and video on demand services. The website serves as a platform to promote their film catalog, provide news updates, and showcase trailers, targeting German-speaking film enthusiasts. The business model focuses on media distribution and film promotion within a specialized market segment. Technically, the website employs a traditional HTML5 and CSS3 structure enhanced with JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Video.js, alongside a responsive grid system (Skel). The site includes a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity and privacy awareness. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS implied, but lacks visible security headers and uses an outdated jQuery version, which could pose risks. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and contact information is not readily available, which may impact user trust. Overall, the site is functional, professionally branded, and provides a good user experience with room for technical and security improvements.

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
The company positions itself as a specialized media distributor in Germany, focusing on independent and horror film genres. Its competitive advantage lies in curated film offerings and direct sales of physical media formats. The business model relies on content promotion, sales, and possibly licensing through VOD. The target customers are film aficionados and collectors within the German market. The presence of social media channels and partner links suggests an ecosystem of collaborations. Growth indicators are limited from the data, but the active news section and trailer showcases imply ongoing operations. Strategic observations include the need to enhance contact transparency and security posture to strengthen market credibility.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a basic security maturity level with HTTPS usage and GDPR-compliant cookie consent. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces defense-in-depth. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.10.2) introduces potential vulnerabilities. No visible incident response or security policy documentation is present, limiting transparency. No forms or input fields reduce attack surface but also limit user engagement options. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from modernization and formalized policies to meet higher compliance standards like NIS2.
Recommendations
Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
Update JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
Publish clear contact information and a security policy page to improve transparency and user trust.
Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
Enhance accessibility and SEO by adding ARIA attributes and meta tags for better indexing and user experience.

Technical notes
Notes
The website uses a traditional front-end stack with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript libraries including jQuery 1.10.2 and Video.js. The Skel framework provides responsive grid layout capabilities. The site loads multiple CSS stylesheets and JavaScript files for UI and cookie consent management. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization indicators. Mobile optimization is good due to responsive design. Accessibility is basic with no advanced ARIA or semantic enhancements detected. SEO is basic with standard meta tags but no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data found. Hosting provider and CMS are not identified from the data. The site could benefit from modernization and improved technical documentation.
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.
