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

4 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

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

United Kiosk AG holds a strong market position as a leading online kiosk in Germany, leveraging partnerships with over 1,000 publishers and multiple industry memberships. Its business model focuses on subscription-based and single-issue sales of magazines and newspapers, including gift subscriptions and a news flat rate. The company targets a wide demographic, from casual readers to professionals seeking specialized publications. Trust signals such as Trusted Shops certification and sustainability badges enhance customer confidence. The platform's integration with payment providers like PayPal and transparent support channels further strengthen its credibility.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses secure POST methods for forms, indicating a baseline security posture. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options, and no explicit security or incident response policies are published. There is no cookie consent mechanism detected, which may impact GDPR compliance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analyzed content. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved by implementing additional headers, publishing security policies, and enhancing privacy controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner and mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and ePrivacy regulations.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript with jQuery, and the Slick Carousel for sliders. It employs Google Roboto fonts and Material Icons for UI consistency. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format, improving search engine visibility. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of sliders and lazy loading of images. No CMS or hosting provider details were detected in the content. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from improved accessibility 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.
