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

Neue Pierrot le Fou operates as a specialized film distribution company focusing on DVD and Blu-Ray releases, primarily targeting German-speaking film enthusiasts and collectors. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image with clear navigation and relevant content about upcoming and available films. The company maintains an active presence on major social media platforms to engage its audience. Technically, the website employs a traditional HTML5 and CSS3 structure enhanced with JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Video.js for media playback. The site is responsive and includes a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR, indicating a mature approach to privacy. However, some modern security headers and updated libraries could improve the technical posture. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and provides cookie consent with granular controls, but lacks explicit security policies or incident response contacts. No critical vulnerabilities or blocking mechanisms were detected, suggesting a stable but improvable security environment. Overall, the website scores well in content quality, business credibility, and privacy compliance, with moderate technical and security scores. Strategic improvements in security headers, updated libraries, and explicit security documentation would enhance trust and resilience.

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.

Priority findings

7 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

  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

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

Neue Pierrot le Fou holds a niche position in the German media distribution market, focusing on independent and genre films. Their business model revolves around physical media sales and film promotion, targeting a dedicated audience of collectors and enthusiasts. The company leverages social media channels for marketing and maintains a GDPR-compliant digital presence. While the site lacks explicit terms of service and security policies, it demonstrates a commitment to privacy and user consent. Growth opportunities may include expanding digital distribution and enhancing security transparency to build further trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enforced and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth capabilities. The use of an outdated jQuery version could expose the site to known vulnerabilities. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which limits transparency and readiness. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, with room for improvement in proactive security controls and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Upgrade JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and user trust.
  4. Add a terms of service page to clarify user rights and obligations.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a classic web stack with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, including jQuery 1.10.2 and Video.js for media handling. The responsive design is managed via the Skel framework, ensuring good mobile optimization. Performance is moderate, with no explicit indicators of slow loading but potential for optimization. SEO is basic with meta tags and structured navigation but lacks advanced schema or Open Graph metadata. Accessibility features are minimal but present. Hosting details are not explicitly identified, but DNS uses UI-DNS name servers. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security practices.
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.
