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

Shopauskunft.de is a well-established German e-commerce review platform founded in 2006, providing authentic customer reviews and ratings for over 19,500 registered online shops. The platform targets both consumers seeking trustworthy shopping insights and shop operators aiming to build customer trust through verified feedback. Technically, the website leverages modern frameworks such as Next.js and React, integrating marketing and analytics tools like HubSpot and Google Tag Manager. The site is mobile-optimized and offers a good user experience with clear navigation and professional design. Security-wise, HTTPS is enabled and user-generated content is moderated to prevent abuse, but explicit security headers and detailed privacy policies are lacking. The platform uses a consent management tool to comply with cookie regulations. Overall, the domain registration is consistent with the business claims, and no blocking or WAF mechanisms hinder access.

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

6 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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';…

  4. 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 · found on this site
  • 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

Shopauskunft.de holds a strong market position as a trusted review portal in the German e-commerce sector, with a business model centered on collecting and publishing authentic customer reviews. Its revenue streams likely include subscription packages for shop operators and advertising. The platform's partnership ecosystem includes dedicated business and helpdesk subdomains, enhancing service delivery. The company demonstrates growth potential through its extensive shop registry and active user engagement. However, the absence of explicit contact information and detailed corporate data on the homepage suggests room for improved transparency.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and mechanisms to ensure review authenticity and abuse prevention. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a published security policy or incident response contacts indicate gaps in security best practices. The use of multiple third-party tracking scripts increases the attack surface and privacy risks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Compliance with GDPR is partially addressed via a consent management platform, but privacy policy documentation is minimal.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service prominently linked on the website.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Establish and publicize a security policy and incident response contact information.
  4. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts to minimize privacy and security risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React/Next.js stack, ensuring good performance and mobile responsiveness. Integration with HubSpot and Google Tag Manager facilitates marketing and analytics but introduces multiple external dependencies. The site uses a consent management platform to handle cookie compliance. Hosting details are not explicit but domain nameservers suggest use of a commercial DNS provider. The site shows good SEO practices with meta tags and preloading of key assets. However, explicit accessibility features and security headers are not evident, representing areas for technical improvement.
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.
