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

Profihost is a German managed hosting provider offering a broad range of IT infrastructure services including managed servers, cloud solutions, domain registration, and security services. The company targets businesses and professionals seeking reliable and high-performance hosting solutions. The website demonstrates a mature digital presence with professional design, clear navigation, and comprehensive service descriptions. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies, including Google Tag Manager for analytics and Consentmanager.net for cookie compliance, ensuring GDPR adherence. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms, though explicit security headers and published security policies are absent. The lack of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain registration status, which should be verified to ensure legitimacy. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy, with room for improvement in security transparency and domain registration clarity.

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

2 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. 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

Profihost operates in the technology sector as a medium-sized essential entity focused on managed hosting and cloud services. Their business model is B2B, serving companies needing hosting, domain management, and IT infrastructure solutions. The company offers specialized hosting for e-commerce platforms like Shopware, OXID, Magento, and Pimcore, indicating a strong niche focus. The website content and structure suggest a well-established market position in Germany, with a comprehensive portfolio of services and a professional brand image. The presence of multiple login portals for customers and partners indicates a mature operational ecosystem. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified from the data. The company maintains good privacy and cookie compliance, enhancing business credibility.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent banners, reflecting awareness of privacy and security best practices. However, no explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), or X-Frame-Options were detected in the provided data. There is no visible security policy or incident response information published on the site, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The use of Google Tag Manager and third-party scripts is standard but requires regular auditing to avoid introducing vulnerabilities. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable concern and should be investigated to confirm domain ownership and legitimacy. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from enhanced header policies and published security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish explicit security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen site security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and avoid trust issues.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance contact information with dedicated security contact channels (e.g., security@profihost.com) and vulnerability disclosure policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern web technologies including SVG icons, CSS variables for theming, and asynchronous loading of Google Tag Manager scripts. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices, with good SEO practices such as meta tags and Open Graph data. Cookie consent is managed via Consentmanager.net, ensuring GDPR compliance. No CMS or hosting provider details were explicitly detected. Performance appears fast with efficient resource loading. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced. The lack of explicit security headers is a technical gap. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and performant web presence suitable for a managed hosting provider.
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.
