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

POS Service Group is a well-established service provider specializing in on-site repair and cleaning of upholstery, furniture, and related household items. With over 35 years of experience, the company holds a strong market position as a European leader in full-service on-site upholstery and furniture care, serving both private and business customers primarily in Germany and neighboring countries. Their key services include repair, cleaning, 3D laser measurement, and burglary protection, supported by a network of service technicians across multiple countries. Technically, the website uses modern front-end technologies and is mobile-optimized, but suffers from a critical lack of valid SSL/TLS certification, which severely impacts security posture. Security headers are present but cannot compensate for the absence of HTTPS. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. Business credibility is high, supported by certifications and professional content. Overall, the website is functional and professional but urgently needs to address SSL/TLS issues to improve security and 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

5 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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';…

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

The company operates in the retail sector, focusing on specialized services for upholstery and furniture maintenance. Their business model revolves around direct on-site service delivery, supported by digital tools such as an online cost calculator and a customer portal for order tracking. The presence of TÜV certifications and awards like Focus Top Arbeitgeber indicates a mature and reputable organization. The company targets both private consumers and business clients, including partnerships with trade and industry. Their multilingual website and regional presence in DACH and Benelux suggest a medium-sized enterprise with growth potential. The integration of an online shop and a stain removal portal complements their service offerings and diversifies revenue streams.

Security posture

The website's security maturity is low due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS support, exposing users to potential data interception risks. While security headers such as X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-XSS-Protection are implemented, they do not mitigate the fundamental risk of unencrypted traffic. No vulnerabilities like Heartbleed or POODLE were detected, but the lack of TLS protocols and cipher suites is a critical gap. There is no evidence of a published security policy or incident response contact channels, which limits transparency and preparedness. Privacy policies and cookie consent are well implemented, indicating compliance awareness. Overall, the security posture requires immediate improvement in SSL/TLS deployment and enhanced incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3) with strong cipher suites to secure communications.
  3. Enhance HSTS configuration to include subdomains and preload to enforce HTTPS usage.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and provide dedicated incident response contact information.
  5. Regularly audit and update security headers and ensure secure handling of user input in forms.
  6. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve security and performance.
  7. Maintain transparency on data retention policies and enhance accessibility features.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on an Apache server and uses a combination of custom JavaScript and third-party libraries such as Modernizr and MicroModal for UI enhancements. Fonts are loaded via Adobe Typekit. The site employs CSS Grid with polyfills for older browsers and includes embedded YouTube videos. Performance metrics are not available, but the page size and resource count are zero in the provided data, suggesting incomplete performance data or measurement issues. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes accessibility considerations like hyphenation and keyboard navigation support. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format describing the local business. However, the lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols represent significant technical risks that could impact user trust and search engine ranking.
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.
