0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Velsa is a German legal technology company providing a specialized legal tool designed for startups and small to medium-sized enterprises (KMUs). Their platform offers legal checklists, contract templates, and a free initial legal consultation, positioning them as a niche player in the legal SaaS market focused on the German-speaking startup ecosystem. The website is professionally designed using modern web technologies such as Webflow, integrated with multiple marketing and analytics tools including Cookiebot for GDPR compliance, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag. Hosting is provided by Raidboxes, a reputable provider, ensuring reliable infrastructure. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and CSRF protection cookies in place, although some security headers could be improved. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism and a linked privacy policy. However, explicit contact information and terms of service are not readily visible, which could be enhanced to improve business credibility and user trust. Overall, the website demonstrates a mature digital presence with good technical and security practices, suitable for its target audience.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      • 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

Velsa targets startups and KMUs in Germany, offering legal tools that simplify legal processes through checklists and contract templates. Their business model likely revolves around SaaS subscriptions or service packages, supported by free initial consultations to attract clients. The company leverages partnerships with third-party services for analytics and marketing, indicating a growth-oriented approach. The absence of visible contact details and terms of service suggests a potential area for improvement in transparency. Market positioning is focused and specialized, catering to a defined niche with tailored legal solutions. The use of modern web infrastructure and marketing tools indicates a digitally mature operation with potential for scaling within the German legal tech market.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration and uses security cookies to prevent CSRF attacks. Cookie consent is implemented with granular user controls, reflecting GDPR compliance. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not evident in the provided data, representing an opportunity to enhance security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by adopting additional HTTP security headers and publishing formal security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish clear terms of service and a security policy page to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Add explicit contact information including company emails and phone numbers to facilitate communication and support.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to demonstrate commitment to security and responsible disclosure.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerable components are included and maintain compliance with privacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Webflow CMS, leveraging modern front-end technologies and Google Fonts for typography. It integrates multiple third-party services for analytics (Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight) and marketing optimization (Intellimize, Optibase). Hosting is managed by Raidboxes, a specialized WordPress hosting provider, indicating reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site uses cookie consent management via Cookiebot, ensuring GDPR compliance. Technical risks are minimal, but the absence of some security headers and formal security documentation suggests room for technical hardening.
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.
