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

Pluswerk AG is a leading full-service digital agency specializing in open-source technologies such as TYPO3, Pimcore, and Shopware. With a strong presence in Germany and other European countries, the company serves a broad B2B audience including enterprises, public sector, and educational institutions. Their service portfolio covers consulting, UX/UI design, corporate websites, e-commerce solutions, online marketing, and cloud hosting, positioning them as a comprehensive digital transformation partner. The website reflects a mature, professional brand with consistent messaging and multiple industry certifications and awards. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS with integrations of Pimcore and Shopware technologies. It employs modern web standards, is mobile-optimized, and uses privacy-respecting analytics tools like Matomo and Visitor Analytics. The site includes a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism and multilingual support, enhancing user experience and compliance. Performance and SEO optimizations are well implemented, contributing to a fast and accessible user interface. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and demonstrates good security hygiene with no exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries detected. However, explicit security headers like X-Frame-Options and a published security policy or incident response contacts are absent, representing areas for improvement. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to privacy protection, which is common and justified for this business type, and does not detract from the site's legitimacy. Overall, Pluswerk AG's website presents a trustworthy, professional digital presence with strong business credibility and a solid security posture. Strategic enhancements in security transparency and incident response readiness would further strengthen their risk management and trustworthiness.

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

3 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

  2. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 384-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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.

Business context

Business profile

Pluswerk AG operates as a large digital agency with over 160 experts across multiple European countries, serving more than 1000 clients ranging from SMEs to large enterprises and public institutions. Their competitive advantage lies in deep expertise with open-source platforms and a full-service approach covering consulting to long-term support. The company leverages partnerships with TYPO3, Pimcore, and Shopware, enhancing credibility and market reach. Revenue streams likely include project-based digital solutions, ongoing support contracts, and consulting services. The target customer segments include B2B enterprises, educational institutions, and public sector organizations seeking digital transformation and e-commerce capabilities. The company actively participates in industry events and community initiatives, signaling strong ecosystem engagement and growth orientation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent mechanisms, and privacy-respecting analytics. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options, as well as the lack of a published security policy or incident response contacts, indicates room for improvement in transparency and defense-in-depth. The WHOIS privacy protection is justified but limits external verification of registrant details. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing incident response processes and publishing security documentation to build further trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify explicit security headers including X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate clickjacking and MIME sniffing risks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices, compliance, and incident response procedures.
  3. Create and host a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security communication.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.
  5. Enhance accessibility compliance to an excellent standard to improve inclusivity and meet legal requirements.

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging open-source technologies Pimcore and Shopware for data management and e-commerce respectively. It uses modern JavaScript libraries including Hyphenopoly for text hyphenation and integrates Matomo and Visitor Analytics for privacy-focused user tracking. The site is well-structured with responsive design, optimized images, and proper meta tags for SEO. Performance is fast with compressed CSS and JS assets. The multilingual setup with hreflang tags supports German, English, and Romanian audiences. No hosting provider details were found, but the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. The technical implementation reflects a modern, maintainable, and scalable digital platform suitable for enterprise clients.
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.
