Risk levelMedium

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

The website sicher-melden.de serves as an informational landing page for a digital whistleblowing reporting platform operated by otris software AG. The platform enables anonymous reporting for companies via secure, cloud-based technology. The site targets corporate clients seeking compliant whistleblowing solutions and positions itself as a neutral authority in this niche. The business model is primarily B2B SaaS focused on compliance and risk management services. Technically, the site is simple and lightweight, built with standard HTML and CSS, and hosted behind Cloudflare DNS services which provide performance and security benefits. The site is mobile responsive and accessible at a basic level but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. From a security perspective, the site benefits from Cloudflare's infrastructure but lacks explicit security headers and published security or incident response policies. No forms or direct data collection occur on this page, reducing attack surface. Contact information is clearly provided, but cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policy details are minimal. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with enhanced headers and transparency. The overall risk is low given the nature of the site as an informational platform without direct user data collection. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing detailed privacy and security policies, and adding cookie consent mechanisms 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

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. 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

Otris software AG operates in the technology sector providing specialized whistleblowing software solutions. Their market positioning is focused on compliance and risk management for corporate clients. The business model is SaaS-based, offering cloud-hosted anonymous reporting platforms. Revenue streams likely come from licensing and service fees. The target customers are medium to large enterprises requiring whistleblower systems. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear contact channels but limited public business details. Partnerships appear limited to their own corporate domains. Growth indicators are not visible from this page, but the niche focus suggests steady demand driven by regulatory compliance requirements.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The use of Cloudflare DNS and CDN provides baseline protection against DDoS and some attacks. However, the absence of explicit security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) and lack of published incident response or security policies indicate room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected on this page. GDPR compliance is partially addressed via a privacy policy link but lacks cookie consent mechanisms. Incident response readiness is unclear due to missing contact channels for security issues. Overall, the security culture appears cautious but could benefit from enhanced transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options to harden the site.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy including GDPR compliance details and cookie usage disclosures.
  3. Add a cookie consent mechanism if cookies or tracking technologies are used on other parts of the platform.
  4. Provide explicit incident response contact information and security policies to improve trust and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update technical infrastructure to maintain modern security standards and performance.

No technical debt or critical risks were identified from the provided content.
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.
