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

8 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"

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 media sector, providing digital marketing and recruiting services primarily to the German medium-sized business market. Their business model revolves around service delivery with a focus on measurable results and client-specific solutions. The presence of multiple social media channels and video testimonials indicates a strong marketing and client engagement strategy. The German Web Awards recognition enhances their credibility. The company appears to maintain a lean structure (small size) with no subsidiaries or parent company indicated. Their client portfolio includes regional businesses and public institutions, suggesting a stable and diversified customer base. The website content and structure reflect a mature digital presence with clear calls to action such as appointment booking and contact forms.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communications. Security best practices include CAPTCHA on contact forms to mitigate spam and abuse. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. The use of third-party scripts such as Inspectlet and Google Tag Manager introduces moderate tracking but appears managed with privacy compliance in mind. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with additional headers and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to minimize risk from vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance form security with server-side validation, rate limiting, and monitoring to prevent abuse.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using WPBakery Page Builder and integrates several modern technologies such as Wistia for video hosting, Google Maps API for geolocation features, and Borlabs Cookie for cookie management. Hosting is provided by Alfahosting, a reputable German provider, which supports good performance and reliability. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD schema markup. Performance is moderate, with some preloading and caching mechanisms in place. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though opportunities exist to improve security headers and formalize security policies.
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.
