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

Pluswerk AG is a large, well-established full-service digital agency specializing in open-source digital solutions such as TYPO3, Pimcore, and Shopware. They serve a broad client base including enterprises, educational institutions, and public sector organizations primarily in Germany and surrounding European countries. Their offerings span digital transformation consulting, enterprise website development, e-commerce solutions, and online marketing services. The company demonstrates strong market positioning supported by multiple industry awards and recognized partnerships. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS with integrations of Pimcore and Shopware technologies. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and employs privacy-conscious analytics tools like Matomo with Do Not Track and cookie consent mechanisms. Performance is moderate with good SEO and accessibility features. However, explicit security headers are not detected, and no public security policy or incident response information is provided. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent, reflecting a good baseline security posture. The absence of exposed sensitive data and use of privacy-respecting analytics tools are positive. The WHOIS data is privacy protected, which aligns with GDPR compliance but limits transparency. No suspicious patterns or vulnerabilities are evident from the available data. Overall, Pluswerk AG presents a professional, trustworthy digital presence with strong business credibility and technical maturity. Strategic improvements could include publishing explicit security policies, enhancing HTTP security headers, and providing vulnerability disclosure information to further strengthen trust and security posture.

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. 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 Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. 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

  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
    • 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 leading European digital agency with a focus on open-source enterprise solutions. Their competitive advantage lies in their expertise across TYPO3, Pimcore, and Shopware platforms, enabling them to deliver tailored digital transformation projects. Their business model integrates consulting, development, and ongoing support, targeting medium to large enterprises, educational institutions, and public sector clients. The company’s multi-country presence and 160 experts indicate significant operational scale and growth potential. Their partnership ecosystem with TYPO3, Pimcore, and Shopware enhances credibility and market reach. The agency’s active participation in industry events and community engagement further supports brand visibility and client acquisition.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR. Use of privacy-focused analytics (Matomo) with Do Not Track and cookie disabling indicates a strong privacy culture. However, the absence of key security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) and lack of publicly available security or incident response policies represent areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The WHOIS privacy protection is justified given GDPR and business nature but limits transparency. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional HTTP security headers and publishing formal security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to prevent potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance monitoring and logging capabilities to detect and respond to security incidents promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging open-source technologies including Pimcore and Shopware for data management and e-commerce. It uses Matomo Analytics with privacy-respecting configurations and includes modern JavaScript libraries like Hyphenopoly for text hyphenation. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and preloaded fonts, indicating attention to performance and user experience. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No hosting provider details were identified from the HTML content. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement through optimization of assets and caching strategies. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced with ARIA landmarks and roles.
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.
