STRATO operates under the parent company Cronon GmbH and emphasizes climate-friendly hosting with data centers located exclusively in the EU. Technically, the website leverages modern technologies including the Strapi CMS, JavaScript frameworks, and integrates analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, Mouseflow, and Kameleoon.

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. 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. 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

Business profile

STRATO holds a strong position in the European hosting market, particularly in the Netherlands, targeting small to medium businesses and professionals. Its business model focuses on providing a comprehensive suite of online services including domains, hosting, email, and marketing tools. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees for hosting packages, domain registrations, and value-added services such as SSL certificates and marketing tools. STRATO benefits from its parent company Cronon GmbH, which supports its infrastructure and market reach. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem and invests in sustainability initiatives, enhancing its brand reputation and customer trust.

Security posture

STRATO exhibits a mature security posture with ISO 27001 certification and adherence to GDPR requirements. The website enforces HTTPS and uses a consent-based cookie mechanism to comply with privacy laws. No security.txt or public vulnerability disclosure was found, which is a minor gap in transparency. Incident response contact information is not publicly available, which could be improved. The absence of exposed sensitive data and use of modern secure technologies indicate good security hygiene. Overall, STRATO is well-prepared for security challenges but could enhance its incident response communication.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a publicly accessible vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to improve transparency.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels on the website for security issues.
  3. Explicitly document security headers and enforce best practices such as CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Continue to monitor and update third-party scripts to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance user education on privacy and security through detailed policy explanations and FAQs.

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.
