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

  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 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';…
  3. 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

The company operates as a specialized service provider for the Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe, focusing on digital communication, AI-supported services, and sales solutions to enhance customer experience and operational efficiency. With over 600 employees across multiple German cities, S-Com leverages deep market knowledge and a strong brand association with Sparkassen. The business model centers on providing creative and digital services tailored to financial institutions, positioning itself as both a creative workshop and an innovation driver. The partnership ecosystem includes internal DSV Gruppe portals and trusted third-party analytics and consent platforms. Growth indicators include a large client base (400+ clients) and extensive market experience (25 years).

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and a comprehensive Content-Security-Policy restricting resource origins. The use of a consent management platform (TrustCommander) indicates attention to privacy compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. The security score is good but could be enhanced by adding explicit policies and contact channels for security incidents.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Add explicit contact information including email addresses and phone numbers for general inquiries and security incidents.
  3. Implement and publish a security policy and vulnerability disclosure program to enhance trust and compliance.
  4. Improve accessibility features to meet higher standards and broaden user inclusivity.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and tracking services to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, leveraging modular components and modern JavaScript modules. It uses Google Tag Manager and TrustCommander for analytics and consent management, respectively. The site loads CSS asynchronously for performance optimization and employs a strict Content-Security-Policy to mitigate XSS risks. Hosting appears to be managed by DSV Gruppe infrastructure, ensuring stable delivery. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. SEO is supported by appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical risks are minimal but depend on continuous maintenance of third-party scripts and consent mechanisms.
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.
