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

simpilio® Internetagentur is a small German internet agency specializing in web design, online shops, CMS solutions, and online marketing primarily serving businesses and creatives in Saxony and other German cities. The company presents a professional and consistent brand image with comprehensive service offerings and a focus on user-friendly, GDPR-compliant websites. Their technical infrastructure includes legacy but functional technologies such as jQuery and FancyBox, with hosting provided by kasserver.com. They employ Matomo and Google Analytics for user tracking with explicit consent mechanisms, reflecting a mature approach to privacy compliance. Security posture is solid with HTTPS, CAPTCHA protections, and consent management, though updating legacy libraries and adding explicit security headers would enhance their defenses. Overall, simpilio® demonstrates a trustworthy and professional online presence with good business credibility and technical implementation.

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

8 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. 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: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL 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';…

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.

Breach exposure

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention simpilio.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for simpilio.de right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

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 small to medium enterprises and creative agencies, offering tailored web solutions including e-commerce platforms and CMS tools designed for ease of use. Their market position is regional with a strong focus on Saxony and selected German cities, leveraging local references and client testimonials to build trust. Revenue streams likely include project-based web development, hosting, and consulting services. The presence of multiple contact forms and GDPR-compliant policies indicates a customer-centric approach. The company maintains active social media presence on Facebook and uses analytics tools to optimize marketing efforts. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses CAPTCHA on all contact forms, reducing risk of automated abuse. Consent management for cookies and tracking is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version (1.8.2) may expose the site to known vulnerabilities if not properly mitigated. No explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, which could be improved to enhance protection against common web attacks. No incident response or security policy pages were found, which could be beneficial for transparency and preparedness. Overall, the security posture is good but could be strengthened with modern best practices and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Add a dedicated security policy or incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and consent management tools for compliance with evolving privacy regulations.
  5. Maintain and document data retention policies and ensure all tracking is fully GDPR compliant.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom CMS solution branded as simpilio® Redaktionssystem, supported by jQuery 1.8.2 and FancyBox 1.3.0 for UI interactions. Analytics are handled via Matomo and legacy Google Analytics scripts, with user consent managed through a consent manager plugin. Hosting is provided by kasserver.com, as indicated by the nameservers. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance is moderate, with no explicit performance optimization scripts detected. The HTML is well structured with meta tags for SEO and social media, but no JSON-LD or Open Graph tags were found. The site uses CAPTCHA on forms to prevent spam and includes multiple contact forms for inquiries, offers, and consultations.
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.
