Systemantics is a specialized web development company focusing on CMS implementation and website creation primarily for clients in the arts, culture, architecture, education, museums, and theater sectors. Their extensive portfolio demonstrates a strong market position within these niche industries, collaborating with various designers and agencies to deliver tailored digital solutions. The company operates primarily in Germany and targets organizations seeking professional and accessible web presence. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript frameworks and CMS platforms such as Hylex and Wordpress, with Matomo analytics for user tracking. The site is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and accessible, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced, but lacks some security headers and explicit privacy and cookie policies, which are areas for improvement. WHOIS data is unavailable or protected, which slightly impacts trust but is mitigated by the professional site content and clear contact information. Overall, Systemantics presents a credible and professional business with room to enhance privacy compliance and security transparency.

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

9 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 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

      • 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

Systemantics holds a strong niche in the cultural and educational web development market, leveraging CMS expertise and a broad portfolio of over 300 projects. Their business model centers on service provision with a focus on CMS implementation, content migration, and web development, often partnering with design firms. The company’s client base includes reputable institutions such as museums, theaters, and foundations, indicating stable revenue streams and a specialized target audience. The absence of explicit business registration details and WHOIS data suggests a small or privacy-conscious entity. Growth potential lies in expanding service offerings and improving compliance visibility. The partnership ecosystem is implied through collaborations with designers and agencies, enhancing their market reach and service quality.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a security.txt file or incident response contacts indicate gaps in security best practices. Privacy compliance is limited by missing explicit privacy and cookie policies, which could pose regulatory risks especially under GDPR. The use of Matomo analytics suggests a preference for privacy-conscious tracking, but overall data protection measures could be strengthened. Incident response readiness is not evident, and no certifications or formal security frameworks are disclosed. Enhancing these areas would improve the security maturity and reduce potential business risks.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting.
  4. Provide explicit incident response contact information, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to enhance domain legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including JavaScript frameworks and CSS, with a modular architecture indicated by Vite and vite-plugin-ssr usage. CMS platforms primarily include Hylex, Wordpress, and Directus, supporting diverse client needs. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The site uses Matomo for analytics, favoring privacy over third-party trackers. No major technical debt or deprecated libraries are evident. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and formalize privacy and compliance documentation. Hosting provider details are not disclosed, which could be clarified for operational transparency. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence aligned with the company’s business focus.
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.
