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

5 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 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 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

  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

  4. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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 positions itself as an innovative and digitally mature tax consultancy with a regional focus. Their competitive advantage lies in combining traditional tax expertise with digital tools and flexible project management. The target customers are businesses and organizations seeking efficient tax and financial services with digital capabilities. The firm benefits from a strong local presence and certifications that enhance credibility. The website content and structure support lead generation through clear calls to action for appointment scheduling. The absence of social media links suggests a focus on direct client engagement rather than broad social marketing. The business ecosystem includes partnerships and certifications that reinforce trust and compliance.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication. However, no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, which could improve protection against common web attacks. There is no visible privacy or cookie policy, nor a consent mechanism, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency in security management. The use of Google Tag Manager indicates some level of user tracking, but privacy compliance is weak due to missing policies. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for improvement in compliance and header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR-compliant consent mechanisms.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Add incident response contact information and consider publishing a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Enhance accessibility features and conduct an audit to improve compliance with WCAG standards.
  5. Regularly review third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and improve transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Contao Open Source CMS, leveraging modern HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript technologies. It uses lazy loading for images to optimize performance and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics. Hosting is managed by Timme Hosting, as indicated by the nameservers. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO meta tags and Open Graph data for social sharing. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and security headers. The technical infrastructure supports a professional online presence but lacks advanced security configurations and privacy compliance features.
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.
