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. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-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.

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 targets advertisers and marketers in the German-speaking DACH region, leveraging native advertising to deliver personalized and effective campaigns. Their business model revolves around providing flexible advertising formats and extensive reach. The presence of social media channels and structured data enhances their market visibility and SEO. While direct contact information is not readily available on the analyzed page, the company maintains a consistent brand image and uses reputable third-party services for analytics and consent management. The lack of explicit privacy and terms of service pages suggests areas for compliance enhancement. The company appears to be medium-sized and focused on media and advertising sectors.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and a robust cookie consent mechanism via Cookiebot, supporting GDPR compliance. However, no explicit security headers were detected, and no published security policy or incident response contacts were found. The use of multiple third-party scripts introduces potential risk vectors, though no immediate vulnerabilities were identified. The absence of a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page limits transparency for security researchers. Overall, the security posture is moderate, with room for improvement in headers, policies, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages clearly accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  3. Add a security policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve trust.
  4. Provide explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities and ensure compliance with privacy regulations.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with popular plugins such as Yoast SEO and WPML for multilingual support, indicating a well-maintained and SEO-optimized platform.

The hosting is managed via INWX nameservers, a German provider consistent with the business location. Performance is moderate with preloaded fonts and optimized images. Accessibility and mobile optimization are basic to good, with room for enhancements. No critical technical issues were detected in the HTML content, but security headers and explicit error handling pages are not evident.
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.
