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

Roland Gareis Consulting GmbH is a well-established consulting and training company specializing in project, process, and change management. With over 30 years of experience, the company offers a range of services including seminars, coaching, certification preparation, and events primarily targeting professionals and organizations in German-speaking regions. The website is professionally designed, multilingual, and integrates e-commerce capabilities for training bookings. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with WooCommerce and uses modern web technologies and security best practices such as HTTPS and security headers. However, the absence of publicly available WHOIS data for the domain raises some concerns about domain registration transparency. The company maintains active social media profiles and provides clear contact information, enhancing trust and credibility. Privacy and cookie policies are present and GDPR compliant, but there is no explicit security policy or incident response information published. Overall, the website demonstrates a solid digital presence with room for improvement in transparency and security disclosures.

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. 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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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 education and consulting sectors, focusing on project management training and advisory services. Its business model is B2B, serving professionals and organizations seeking to enhance project management capabilities. The firm leverages partnerships with recognized entities such as Symbolon AG, PROJEKT MANAGEMENT AUSTRIA, and Microsoft Austria, which strengthens its market position. Revenue streams include paid training courses, coaching, and consulting engagements. The website content and event offerings indicate a growth-oriented approach with a focus on innovation and digital transformation in project management. The company targets a niche but professional audience, maintaining a consistent brand image and leveraging digital channels for marketing and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and implements key security headers, indicating a mature security posture. Use of Cloudflare Turnstile CAPTCHA on forms helps mitigate automated abuse. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the lack of a publicly available security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism limits transparency and preparedness perception. The site could benefit from publishing these documents to enhance trust and demonstrate compliance with security best practices. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with more explicit security governance disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  3. Provide incident response contact information to facilitate reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality. It uses WPBakery Page Builder for layout management and jQuery for client-side scripting. The site is multilingual, supported by WPML plugin, and integrates LinkedIn Insight for analytics. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Security headers and HTTPS are properly configured. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The site shows no signs of technical debt or deprecated technologies but could improve accessibility and performance optimizations further.
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.
