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

SECUDOS GmbH is a German-based technology company specializing in innovative IT security solutions aimed at ensuring digital sovereignty and high-performance network infrastructures for businesses. Their product portfolio includes secure data exchange software (Qiata), a hardened operating system (DOMOS), and recovery technology for hardware appliances (SDR). The company positions itself as a reliable and experienced partner with over 20 years of expertise in complex network environments, serving a broad range of corporate clients. Technically, the website is built on Joomla CMS with modern frameworks like Bootstrap and jQuery, offering good mobile optimization and user experience. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS support significantly weaken the security posture, despite proper email authentication records and GDPR compliance. Overall, the site demonstrates good business credibility and privacy practices but requires urgent improvements in SSL/TLS implementation to enhance security 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

4 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

    • 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

  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

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

SECUDOS operates in the technology sector, focusing on B2B IT security solutions. Their business model revolves around providing software and hardened systems that integrate seamlessly into existing infrastructures, emphasizing compliance with GDPR and German data protection standards. The company maintains partnerships with notable vendors like Barracuda Networks and Scope7, enhancing their product offerings. With over 1.2 million satisfied users and membership in the Allianz für Cybersicherheit, SECUDOS demonstrates strong market presence and trustworthiness. Their target audience includes medium to large enterprises seeking secure and compliant IT solutions. The website content and branding are consistent and professional, supporting their market positioning as a trusted security partner.

Security posture

The security posture of SECUDOS's website is currently suboptimal due to the lack of a valid SSL certificate and absence of HTTPS support, which are critical for secure communications. While SPF and DMARC records are correctly configured, and no major SSL vulnerabilities like Heartbleed or POODLE are detected, the missing TLS protocols and security headers expose the site to potential risks. The presence of an abuse contact email and DMARC reporting indicates some level of incident response readiness. However, the lack of security policy documentation and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and security governance. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS issues is essential to protect user data and maintain compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire website.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or 1.3) and disable all insecure protocols and ciphers.
  3. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload options.
  4. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Publish a clear security policy and establish a vulnerability disclosure program to enhance transparency and trust.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS using the Helix Ultimate template, leveraging Bootstrap 5 and jQuery libraries for responsive design and interactivity. It integrates various third-party scripts for UI components like carousels and modals. The hosting appears to be managed by 1&1 IONOS, as indicated by DNS and nameserver data. Performance metrics show a moderate load time of 5440 ms with 117 resources and a page size of approximately 280 KB, indicating potential optimization opportunities. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices, including proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS support are significant technical risks that must be addressed promptly to ensure secure and reliable operations.
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.
