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

pso vertriebsprogramme GmbH is a German-based company specializing in digital referral and incentivization solutions with over 20 years of experience and more than one million recommendations. The company targets businesses seeking to enhance customer acquisition and retention through innovative digital sales programs, including referral programs, sales partner solutions, incentivization programs, and omnichannel sales strategies. Their market position is that of an established and trusted provider in the technology sector, supported by professional branding and client testimonials. Technically, the website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor for design and Gravity Forms for data collection. Performance optimizations such as WP Rocket and lazy loading are implemented, and the site integrates a GDPR-compliant consent management platform (Usercentrics) and anti-spam measures (CleanTalk). Analytics are handled via a self-hosted Matomo instance, reflecting a privacy-conscious approach. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration and employs best practices like consent management and anti-spam plugins. However, explicit security headers are not clearly detected, and no formal security policy or incident response information is published. There are no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with additional headers and formal policies. The overall risk assessment is low, with no signs of malicious activity or content safety concerns. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, adding vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, and improving accessibility compliance to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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

7 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 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

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

pso vertriebsprogramme GmbH operates in the B2B technology sector, focusing on digital sales enablement through referral and incentivization programs. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing market presence, extensive experience, and a broad client base evidenced by numerous references and testimonials. The business model revolves around providing scalable digital solutions that integrate with client sales processes, supported by a full-service approach. Target customers are enterprises and medium-sized businesses looking to increase sales efficiency and customer loyalty. The company maintains a professional partnership ecosystem, including technology partners and social media presence, which supports growth and market reach. Operationally, the company demonstrates maturity with a well-structured website, GDPR compliance, and modern technical infrastructure.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and a robust SSL configuration. The integration of Usercentrics CMP ensures GDPR-compliant consent management, and CleanTalk anti-spam plugin protects forms from spam and abuse. The use of Matomo analytics indicates a preference for privacy-respecting data collection. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a gap that should be addressed. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which limits transparency. There is no evidence of vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be enhanced by formalizing policies and improving header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and partners.
  3. Create and maintain a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to minimize security risks and technical debt.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 with Elementor 3.32.4 as the primary page builder, supported by Gravity Forms for form management. Performance is optimized using WP Rocket with lazy loading of images and scripts, contributing to fast load times. The site uses Usercentrics for consent management and CleanTalk for anti-spam protection. Analytics are handled by a self-hosted Matomo instance, reflecting a privacy-conscious approach. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, with good SEO and mobile optimization. However, some security headers are missing, and hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and performant web presence with room for incremental security improvements.
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.
