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

6 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.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 384-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

  3. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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

Transform_EMN operates as a regional network project targeting the automotive supplier sector in the Nürnberg metropolitan area, a key industrial cluster with around 500 SMEs and large suppliers. The business model is based on providing free support services funded likely by public or regional development funds, focusing on enabling companies to navigate the challenges of the mobility transition. The project has strong partnerships with regional economic development agencies, research institutes, and industry chambers, enhancing its market position and trustworthiness. The website content and partner logos reinforce its role as a facilitator and knowledge hub rather than a commercial enterprise. Growth indicators include upcoming events and active networking opportunities. The target customers are regional automotive suppliers and related manufacturing companies.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and includes standard security headers such as Strict-Transport-Security, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Content-Security-Policy, indicating adherence to security best practices. The presence of a cookie consent widget aligns with GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy or incident response contact information suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. The use of Google Analytics introduces moderate user tracking, but privacy controls are available. Overall, the security posture is solid for a public-facing informational site but could be enhanced with explicit policies and disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance transparency by listing data retention policies related to analytics and tracking.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and secure content management system, enhanced with Toujou web components for modern UI elements. It uses Google Analytics for visitor tracking and Google Tag Manager for tag management. The site is hosted on servers indicated by nameservers from agenturserver, a professional hosting provider. Performance is moderate with optimized images and responsive design ensuring good mobile usability. SEO is supported by Yoast SEO for TYPO3 and structured data in JSON-LD format. Accessibility features such as ARIA labels and keyboard navigation are present. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though continuous monitoring for updates and security patches is recommended.
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.
