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

6 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

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

  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

PLUTEX holds a solid market position in the German MSP sector, leveraging certified data centers and green energy to differentiate itself. Their business model focuses on providing managed hosting and colocation services to enterprises and agencies, supported by consulting and personalized technical support. The company maintains active social media channels and publishes technical blogs, indicating engagement and thought leadership. Customer testimonials and certifications reinforce trust and credibility. The absence of disclosed registrant data is consistent with DENIC policies and justified for privacy. No related or subsidiary domains were identified. The company appears medium-sized with a regional focus in Northwest Germany.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, ISO certifications for information security, and a multi-layered security concept for their data centers. Cookie consent and privacy policies comply with GDPR requirements. However, the site lacks explicit incident response contacts and a security.txt file, which could enhance transparency. Security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not explicitly present and should be added. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of Matomo analytics with cookie consent indicates privacy-conscious tracking. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be improved with additional headers and incident response disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options HTTP headers to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish an incident response contact email or security.txt file to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
  4. Enhance data retention policy disclosures related to analytics and cookies for better privacy compliance.
  5. Maintain and promote certifications and green energy initiatives as key trust signals.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.6.2 using the GeneratePress theme and Yoast SEO plugin, ensuring modern CMS capabilities and SEO optimization. It uses Matomo for analytics, which respects privacy better than many alternatives. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance appears fast with minified CSS and JS caching. Cookie consent is managed by Borlabs Cookie plugin, supporting GDPR compliance. No legacy or vulnerable libraries were detected. The infrastructure includes multiple nameservers with IPv6 support, indicating a robust DNS setup. Hosting provider details are not explicit but the presence of own data centers suggests self-hosting or colocation. Overall, the technical stack is modern, secure, and well-maintained.
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.
