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

Plancraft is a well-established German SaaS company providing specialized handwerkersoftware (craftsman software) designed to streamline and digitalize workflows for tradespeople and small to medium-sized craft businesses. The platform offers a comprehensive suite of tools including document creation, project and time management, mobile apps for field workers, and integration with accounting systems. With over 20,000 users and excellent customer ratings, Plancraft holds a strong market position in the German-speaking crafts sector. Technically, the website is built on modern web technologies including Webflow CMS, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot forms, and cloud hosting with Google Cloud DNS. The site is well-optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility, featuring advanced tracking and telemetry for marketing and analytics. However, explicit privacy and terms of service pages are not clearly found, and security headers are not visibly implemented in the HTML. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and domain registration data indicates a legitimate and stable business. Cookie consent is managed via a third-party service, and no critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Nonetheless, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represent areas for improvement. Overall, Plancraft presents a professional, trustworthy, and technically mature online presence with minor gaps in privacy and security documentation. Strategic enhancements in these areas would further strengthen compliance and user trust.

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

4 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.

    • 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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

Plancraft targets the craftsman and trades sector in Germany, offering cloud-based software solutions that reduce administrative overhead and improve operational efficiency. Their SaaS business model leverages subscription revenue and focuses on user-friendly digital tools for document management, project planning, and time tracking. The company benefits from strong customer satisfaction and positive reviews, which support organic growth and market penetration. Integration with accounting tools like DATEV and support for multiple platforms (Mac, iOS, Windows) enhance their competitive advantage. The marketing ecosystem includes HubSpot and advanced UTM tracking, indicating a data-driven approach to customer acquisition and retention. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data provided.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security baseline with HTTPS enabled and domain registration consistent with a legitimate business. The use of clientTransferProhibited status on the domain adds protection against unauthorized transfers. Cookie consent mechanisms are in place, supporting GDPR compliance efforts. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a published security policy or incident response contacts limit the security maturity level. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were found in the HTML or scripts. The site would benefit from implementing security best practices including security.txt, vulnerability disclosure, and enhanced header configurations to improve resilience and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages prominently linked on the website.
  2. Implement and configure security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Create and publish a security policy including incident response contacts (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses).
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance contact information visibility to improve user trust and support accessibility.

Notes

The website is built on a modern and scalable infrastructure using Webflow CMS, Google Cloud DNS, and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, HubSpot forms, and RevenueHero. The use of Lottie animations and Swiper.js enhances user experience with interactive and responsive design. Performance is optimized with CDN usage and font preloading. Accessibility and SEO best practices are observed with proper meta tags, alternate hreflang links, and semantic HTML. The technical stack is well-maintained with no outdated or vulnerable libraries detected. Opportunities exist to improve security header implementation and formalize privacy and security 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.
