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

Stratum Traffic Engineering GmbH is a specialized consulting company in the Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and traffic engineering sector, offering services such as traffic analysis, road safety, project management, and business development for ITS SMEs. The company targets organizations seeking expertise in traffic audits, modeling, and tolling systems, positioning itself as a niche ITS SME with international market development capabilities. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear service offerings and contact information, supported by social media presence on Facebook and LinkedIn. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using popular plugins and themes, delivering moderate performance and good mobile optimization. However, the site lacks advanced security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies, which are critical for compliance and trust. The domain registration is consistent and transparent, with no privacy protection, supporting the legitimacy of the business. Overall, the website is functional and credible but requires improvements in privacy compliance and security posture to enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

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

11 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

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

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

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

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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 operates in the transportation sector focusing on ITS consulting and project management. Its business model revolves around providing specialized consulting services and business development support for ITS SMEs expanding internationally. The presence of detailed service pages and downloadable terms indicates a structured approach to client engagement. The company maintains physical offices in Estonia and Austria, suggesting a European market focus. Partnerships with design firms and active social media accounts indicate a moderate ecosystem engagement. The lack of explicit privacy and security policies may impact client trust and compliance with regulations such as GDPR. The company appears to be small-sized with a domain age consistent with its founding year, supporting a stable market presence.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and has domain status protections but lacks DNSSEC and security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, indicating limited security transparency. The use of standard WordPress plugins without visible vulnerabilities is positive, but the absence of security policies and headers exposes the site to potential risks. No exposed sensitive data or credentials were detected. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and improve performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Total theme and Visual Composer page builder, with additional plugins such as Contact Form 7 and Email Subscribers. It uses MetaSlider for image sliders and integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for tracking. The hosting appears to be with GoDaddy.com, LLC, inferred from registrar and nameservers. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design but shows basic SEO and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. The site lacks advanced security configurations and modern HTTP security headers, which could be improved to reduce risk. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard for a small consulting business website but could benefit from modernization and security hardening.
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.
