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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. 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 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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Ströer operates primarily in the media sector, focusing on advertising across multiple channels including OOH, digital, and dialog marketing. Its business model leverages a diversified service offering supported by subsidiaries such as Ströer Media Deutschland GmbH and Edgar Ambient Media Group GmbH. The company targets advertisers, media buyers, and investors within Germany, emphasizing sustainable and responsible advertising solutions. Its market positioning as a MDAX-listed company reflects significant scale and influence. The presence of multiple specialized tools and planners indicates a mature ecosystem supporting client campaign planning and execution. Partnerships with service providers like Retarus for email infrastructure enhance operational reliability. The company’s strategic focus on sustainability and diversity further strengthens its brand and stakeholder trust.

Security posture

Ströer’s security posture is moderate to good. The website uses a valid SSL certificate issued by a recognized issuer, ensuring encrypted communications. SPF and DMARC DNS records are configured correctly, reducing email spoofing risks. However, DNSSEC and CAA records are not implemented, which are recommended for enhanced DNS security and certificate issuance control. The absence of HSTS headers and modern TLS cipher suites indicates room for improvement in transport security hardening. No explicit security policy, incident response information, or security.txt file is published, which limits transparency and readiness communication. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, supporting GDPR compliance and user privacy. Overall, while basic security controls are in place, adopting advanced DNS security and publishing formal security policies would improve the security maturity and trustworthiness.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS and prevent downgrade attacks.
  2. Implement DNSSEC to protect DNS integrity and prevent cache poisoning attacks.
  3. Add CAA DNS records to restrict certificate authorities authorized to issue certificates for stroeer.com.
  4. Enhance SSL/TLS configuration by enabling modern protocols and strong cipher suites to improve encryption strength.
  5. Publish a security policy and incident response plan on the website, including a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, indicating a mature technical foundation. Frontend technologies include Alpine.js for reactive UI components and Matomo for privacy-focused analytics. Cookie consent is managed by Cookiebot, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. Performance metrics indicate moderate load times with a page size of approximately 130 KB and 66 resources loaded. Mobile optimization is basic, with some tools not optimized for smartphones. SEO is supported by structured data (JSON-LD) and Open Graph metadata, enhancing search engine visibility. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from security enhancements and performance tuning to improve user experience and resilience.
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.
