Splashlake GmbH is a specialized technology company focused on providing smart laboratory data integration and management solutions. Their platform connects various laboratory instruments and systems such as LIMS, ELN, and ERP to streamline scientific data workflows. Positioned as a niche B2B provider, Splashlake targets laboratories and research organizations in biotech, pharma, and industrial sectors. The company emphasizes vendor-neutral, scalable, and cloud-ready solutions to meet modern laboratory data challenges. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with Elementor and optimized for performance using NitroPack. It employs modern web standards, responsive design, and accessibility best practices, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and includes standard security headers, but lacks explicit published security policies or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

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. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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

Splashlake operates in the technology sector, focusing on laboratory data integration and management. Their business model is B2B software and integration services, catering to scientific and industrial labs. Key competitive advantages include vendor-neutral integration capabilities and cloud readiness. Revenue streams likely derive from software licensing, integration services, and support. The company maintains partnerships with security firms like Thales, enhancing trust. The website content and structured data indicate a small-sized company based in Germany with a clear market niche. Growth indicators include a comprehensive resource section, active blog, and multiple integration offerings. The partnership ecosystem and detailed industry coverage suggest strategic positioning to serve diverse laboratory verticals.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries in the HTML content. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and preparedness perception. No security.txt or data protection officer contact information is found, which are recommended for compliance and trust. Analytics usage is moderate with Google Tag Manager and Matomo, balanced with GDPR-compliant cookie and privacy policies. Overall, the security maturity is solid but could be enhanced by publishing explicit security governance documents and incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  2. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Include contact information for a Data Protection Officer or security team to improve trust.
  4. Create and publish a terms of service page to clarify user and business obligations.
  5. Verify and publicly confirm domain registration details to resolve WHOIS data absence.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building and NitroPack for performance optimization. It leverages Google Fonts and integrates Google Tag Manager and Matomo for analytics and tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is fast due to caching and resource preloading. No deprecated or vulnerable libraries are detected in the scripts. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence suitable for a technology-focused B2B company. Opportunities exist to enhance security transparency and domain registration verification.
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.
