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

Pragmatis GmbH is a specialized technology company focused on providing laboratory and technical data management software solutions, including LIMS, LES, LIS, CAQ, AQS, MES, and ELN systems. With over 30 years of experience, the company offers both on-premises and cloud-based solutions tailored to laboratory and technical environments. Their market position is that of a niche expert with long-standing customer relationships and a modernized product portfolio. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image targeting laboratory and technical professionals seeking reliable data management systems. Technically, the website is built on Joomla CMS with Bootstrap and jQuery frameworks, integrating Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, with a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. Hosting appears to be via rzone.de nameservers, indicating a German hosting provider. The technical infrastructure is modern but could benefit from enhanced security headers and accessibility improvements. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs email cloaking and cookie consent for privacy. However, no explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, and security headers are not detected. There are no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data.

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

      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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

Pragmatis GmbH operates in the technology sector, specializing in laboratory information and execution systems. Their competitive advantage lies in their long history (30+ years) and tailored, upgradeable software solutions that evolve from legacy DOS-based systems to modern cloud and 64-bit server applications. The business model focuses on software licensing, updates, and support services for laboratory and technical clients. Their target customers are laboratories and technical organizations requiring compliant and efficient data management workflows. The company maintains a partnership ecosystem and demonstrates consistent product updates, indicating ongoing growth and customer retention. Strategic observations suggest a stable niche presence with opportunities to expand cloud offerings and enhance digital marketing.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The website uses HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. Email addresses are protected via cloaking to reduce scraping risks. However, the absence of security headers and a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency and preparedness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Compliance with GDPR is evident through cookie consent and privacy policy presence. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly documented, representing an area for improvement. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small technology company but would benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to improve defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses).
  3. Add a security.txt file at the root domain to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate risks from vulnerable dependencies.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS with Bootstrap 3.3.2 and jQuery libraries, indicating a mature but somewhat dated technology stack. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are integrated for marketing and analytics purposes. The site is mobile-optimized and uses cookie consent with opt-in and revoke options, reflecting good privacy practices. Hosting is via rzone.de nameservers, suggesting a German hosting provider. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. Technical debt is minimal but updating to newer Bootstrap versions and improving accessibility could modernize the platform. No critical technical risks were identified, but security header implementation and formal security policies would strengthen the infrastructure.
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.
