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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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.

Business context

Business profile

Staufen AG operates in the consulting sector with a focus on operational excellence for manufacturing and industrial clients. Its competitive advantage lies in its specialized expertise in lean management and its affiliation with Accenture. The business model is service-based consulting with offerings spanning operational improvement, digital transformation, and leadership training. The company targets medium to large enterprises seeking efficiency and performance improvements. Growth indicators include international subsidiaries and a strong digital content strategy. Partnerships with Accenture and certifications like ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 reinforce its credibility. The company maintains a professional online presence with active social media channels and multilingual support, indicating a global market approach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers in place, including HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and Content-Security-Policy. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. No sensitive data leakage or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a public security policy or vulnerability disclosure page limits transparency. Incident response contact information is not explicitly provided, which could be improved to enhance security readiness. Overall, the site is secure for visitors and clients, with minor gaps in public security communication.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Provide explicit incident response contact details, such as a security or abuse email address.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by linking certifications and compliance attestations on the website.

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.
