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. 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

  3. Network security

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

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

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

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

Umbreit holds a stable market position in the German book distribution and e-commerce industry, leveraging partnerships and a diverse service offering including fulfillment, digital reading solutions, and webshops. The business model focuses on wholesale distribution and value-added services to retailers and publishers. The company maintains active social media channels and recruitment partnerships, indicating growth and engagement strategies. The website content and structure support clear communication of services and customer support, enhancing competitive advantage. No suspicious or privacy-protected WHOIS data suggests transparency and trustworthiness in operations.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and secure form handling, with no visible sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries detected. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and cookie consent mechanisms indicates gaps in compliance and transparency. The use of Matomo analytics reflects a privacy-aware approach. Security headers are not explicitly detected, suggesting room for enhancement. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from formalized policies and improved header configurations to strengthen defenses and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with EU cookie laws and improve privacy compliance.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve security posture.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and mobile optimization to improve user experience and SEO.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, utilizing Bootstrap for responsive design and AngularJS alongside jQuery for dynamic content. It integrates Flexslider and Slick Carousel for interactive UI elements and uses Matomo for analytics. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets efficiently, though performance is moderate, suggesting potential optimization opportunities. The presence of modern frameworks and CMS indicates a mature technical infrastructure. However, no explicit hosting provider information was found. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and canonical links. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with room for performance and security enhancements.
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.
