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

5 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

    • 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. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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

The organization serves a niche market segment within the transportation regulatory framework in Hessen, Germany, providing essential digital tachograph card services. Its business model is public service-oriented, focusing on compliance facilitation and regulatory enforcement. The website supports this by offering downloadable forms, location information for service centers, and detailed FAQs. The partnership ecosystem includes a digital agency (Pagemachine) and a cookie consent provider (DataReporter). The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a controlled communication channel via contact forms, typical for government entities. The site’s content and navigation are tailored to end-users requiring specific regulatory documents, indicating a focused target audience. Growth indicators or revenue streams are not discernible from the website content. The organization maintains a consistent brand and content quality, reinforcing trust and authority in its domain.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The website employs a valid SSL certificate issued by a trusted authority, ensuring encrypted communications. Cookie consent is implemented with clear user options, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of DNSSEC and CAA records exposes the domain to potential DNS spoofing and unauthorized certificate issuance risks. The lack of HSTS reduces protection against protocol downgrade attacks. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options are detected, which could mitigate common web vulnerabilities. There is no published security policy or incident response information, limiting transparency and preparedness visibility. Analytics and marketing cookies are used with consent, but user tracking is moderate. Overall, while basic security controls are in place, enhancements are needed to align with best practices and regulatory requirements such as NIS2 and GDPR.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS usage.
  2. Implement DNSSEC and CAA records to secure DNS resolution and certificate issuance.
  3. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  4. Publish a security policy and vulnerability disclosure program including a security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  5. Enhance contact information availability with dedicated security and support contact channels to improve communication and trust.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and widely used content management system, indicating a stable and maintainable platform. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and DNS resilience. The site uses Bootstrap for responsive design and FontAwesome for icons, supporting good mobile optimization and user experience. Performance is moderate with a page load time of approximately 4.1 seconds and 30 resources loaded. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and keyboard navigation. SEO is good with meta tags and canonical links properly set. The SSL certificate is valid but lacks modern protocol and cipher suite support, suggesting outdated TLS configuration. No advanced security headers or mechanisms are detected. The site uses etracker analytics and Google marketing cookies with user consent, reflecting a balanced approach to data collection. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
