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

STRATO GmbH operates as a prominent web hosting and cloud services provider primarily serving European markets, including Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, France, and the United Kingdom. The website is multilingual and localized, reflecting a strong regional presence. The company offers hosting solutions and customer service portals, targeting both business and individual customers. The website's design is professional and consistent with the brand identity, providing a good user experience with clear navigation and mobile optimization. Technically, the website utilizes AngularJS 1.5.6 and jQuery 2.2.4 frameworks, along with Bootstrap for responsive design. The CMS identified is IMPERIA 8.6.0. While the site is functional and moderately performant, there is room for improvement in SEO and accessibility features. The site is served over HTTPS, ensuring basic transport security. From a security perspective, the website has HTTPS enabled but lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or Strict-Transport-Security. There is no explicit security policy or incident response contact information published, and no cookie consent mechanism is present, which may impact GDPR compliance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced with additional best practices. The overall risk assessment indicates a legitimate and professional website with minor compliance and security gaps. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing a security policy, adding cookie consent, and enhancing accessibility and SEO to improve trust and compliance.

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. 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';…
  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  3. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

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

STRATO GmbH is positioned as an established European hosting provider with localized country-specific websites, indicating a strong regional market focus. The business model is B2C and B2B, offering web hosting and cloud services. The company targets businesses and individuals seeking reliable hosting solutions in Europe. The website content and structure suggest a mature organization with consistent branding and trust signals such as privacy policies and terms of service. There is no evidence of parent or subsidiary companies from the provided data. The lack of explicit contact information on the main page suggests a focus on directing users to localized sites for support. The company leverages popular web technologies and frameworks, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security posture. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no dedicated security contact channels are provided. The site uses well-known JavaScript libraries, but no evidence of vulnerability scanning or mitigation is visible. The lack of a cookie consent mechanism may expose the company to compliance risks under GDPR. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with opportunities for improvement in policy transparency, header implementation, and compliance mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a detailed security policy and provide clear incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses).
  3. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance website accessibility and SEO to improve user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a CMS called IMPERIA 8.6.0 and uses AngularJS 1.5.6 and jQuery 2.2.4 for frontend interactivity, along with Bootstrap for responsive design. The site is multilingual and serves localized content for multiple European countries. The technical implementation is moderate, with valid HTML and CSS, but could benefit from modernizing the tech stack (AngularJS is legacy) and improving performance optimizations. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic. SEO meta tags are present but minimal. No advanced hosting provider details were detected. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but has room for modernization and enhancement.
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.
