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

saltation GmbH & Co. KG is a German IT service provider specializing in bespoke software development, IT consulting, and process optimization. Established around the millennium change, the company serves diverse industries including media, industry, and retail, offering tailored solutions and a proprietary secure file transfer product called envoy. The website presents a professional image with detailed service descriptions, client portfolio, and legal disclosures, targeting business clients primarily in Germany. Technically, the website employs a modern and diverse technology stack including functional programming languages (Haskell, Scala), imperative languages (C++, Rust, .NET, PHP), and frameworks like Yesod, Play, symfony, and AngularJS. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices but lacks explicit security headers and detailed security policies. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. Security posture is moderate with good internal development practices but missing explicit published security policies and incident response contacts. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain www.saltation.com is a concern, potentially indicating privacy protection or domain registration issues, which impacts trustworthiness. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced transparency in security and domain registration. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing security and incident response policies, verifying domain registration status, and enhancing accessibility features to improve compliance and trust.

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

3 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. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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

saltation operates as a specialized IT consultancy and software development firm with a focus on custom solutions and process automation. Its competitive advantage lies in deep domain expertise, a strong client portfolio including major German companies, and a commitment to quality and innovation. The business model centers on project-based services and proprietary product development (envoy). Growth is supported by research collaborations with academic institutions. The company maintains a clear brand identity and emphasizes long-term client partnerships. Revenue streams likely derive from consulting, software projects, and product licensing. The absence of public financial data limits deeper revenue insights. The partnership ecosystem includes academic and product partners, enhancing technological capabilities and market reach.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate. The company follows good internal software development practices such as code reviews, testing, and version control. However, the website lacks visible security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS), published security policies, and incident response information. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. GDPR compliance is evident through a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain legitimacy and transparency. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the website content. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly documented, suggesting room for improvement in transparency and preparedness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and preparedness for security incidents.
  3. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to ensure domain registration transparency and build trust with clients and partners.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a robust and modern technology stack combining functional and imperative programming languages and frameworks. It supports multiple platforms including web, desktop, and mobile. The use of advanced technologies like Haskell, Rust, and GPU parallelization in research projects indicates a high level of technical expertise. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured data. However, no hosting provider information or performance metrics were identified. The absence of analytics and tracking scripts suggests a privacy-focused approach but limits insights into user behavior. Technical debt appears low given the use of modern frameworks and quality assurance practices. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and accessibility compliance to reduce technical risks.
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.
