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

Rothbaum Consulting Engineers GmbH is a German-based consulting firm specializing in operations management and strategy, focusing on digital transformation, supply chain optimization, production, and logistics. The company positions itself as a modern, holistic partner for businesses seeking to optimize their operational processes with advanced technologies and methodologies. Their website reflects a professional and comprehensive approach, targeting businesses that require expert consulting services in manufacturing and transportation sectors. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including Yoast SEO, Contact Form 7, and Borlabs Cookie for GDPR compliance. The site is well-optimized for SEO, mobile-friendly, and includes multiple interactive elements such as video teasers and contact forms with explicit GDPR consent mechanisms. External integrations include Google Tag Manager and tracking services like SalesViewer and Lfeeder, indicating a moderate level of user tracking. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent banners, but lacks explicit security policy pages or incident response contacts. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the WHOIS data is missing or indicates the domain is unregistered, which is inconsistent with the active website presence and may warrant further investigation. Overall, the website presents a strong digital presence with good privacy compliance and professional content. The main risk lies in the lack of WHOIS transparency, which slightly impacts trustworthiness. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and adding vulnerability disclosure information to improve 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

1 finding 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.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 384-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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.

Business context

Business profile

Rothbaum Consulting Engineers GmbH operates in the consulting sector with a focus on operations, supply chain, production, and logistics. Their market positioning is that of a specialized, medium-sized consulting firm with a strong emphasis on digital operations and process optimization. The business model revolves around providing expert consulting services to industrial and manufacturing clients, leveraging modern IT and process methodologies. The company targets professionals and enterprises seeking to improve operational efficiency and digital maturity. Their content and success stories indicate a well-established client base and a commitment to quality and innovation. The presence on multiple social media platforms and participation in industry events further supports their market engagement and growth potential.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. Contact forms include mandatory consent checkboxes, reducing compliance risks. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents gaps in transparency and readiness. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were identified, and the use of modern WordPress plugins suggests regular maintenance. The integration of third-party tracking services requires ongoing monitoring to ensure privacy compliance. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by publishing dedicated security documentation and enhancing HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  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 mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance monitoring and filtering of contact form submissions to prevent abuse and spam.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern and well-maintained technology stack including Yoast SEO Premium for search optimization, Contact Form 7 for form handling, and Borlabs Cookie for GDPR-compliant cookie management. Performance is moderate with lazy loading of images and videos, and mobile optimization is excellent. The site uses external analytics and tracking services such as Google Tag Manager, SalesViewer, and Lfeeder, indicating a moderate level of user data collection. The technical implementation supports a professional user experience with clear navigation and rich multimedia content. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and to document security policies for enhanced trust.
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.
