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

The website www.vermittlerregister.info serves as the official German registry for insurance intermediaries, financial investment intermediaries, fee-based financial advisors, and real estate loan intermediaries. Operated by the Deutscher Industrie- und Handelskammertag (DIHK), it provides publicly accessible, regulatory-compliant information about registered intermediaries who hold the necessary trade licenses. The site targets professionals in the financial and insurance sectors, regulatory authorities, and consumers seeking verified intermediary information. It positions itself as a trusted, authoritative source within the German financial regulatory ecosystem. Technically, the website is built on a modern Angular framework (version 16) with Angular Material components, ensuring a responsive and user-friendly interface. It employs FriendlyCaptcha to mitigate automated abuse of its search forms. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with no significant technical debt or outdated libraries detected. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses CAPTCHA for form protection, but lacks explicit security headers and a published security policy or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analyzed content. Privacy compliance is strong, with clear privacy and cookie policies and GDPR adherence. The absence of WHOIS data is due to privacy protection, which is justified given the nature of the site and applicable data protection laws. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with a strong business credibility and compliance posture. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing an incident response policy, and maintaining regular audits of third-party scripts to further strengthen security and trust.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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

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 website operates as a government-related essential entity within the finance sector, specifically focusing on regulatory compliance for intermediaries in insurance and financial investments. Its business model revolves around providing a transparent, publicly accessible registry mandated by German law, which enhances market trust and regulatory oversight. The DIHK's involvement lends significant credibility and market position. The site supports quarterly statistical reporting and publishes sanctions and regulatory announcements, indicating active regulatory engagement. The target customer segments include licensed intermediaries, regulatory bodies, and consumers verifying intermediary credentials. The absence of commercial advertising or affiliate programs aligns with its regulatory mission. Growth indicators include regular updates and multilingual support. The partnership ecosystem is limited to regulatory and technical service providers, with no commercial partners evident.

Security posture

The security maturity of the website is moderate to good. HTTPS is enforced site-wide, and CAPTCHA mechanisms protect against automated abuse. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. Data protection practices appear compliant with GDPR, supported by comprehensive privacy and cookie policies. No exposed credentials or vulnerable libraries were detected. The site does not appear to use extensive tracking or analytics, reducing privacy risks. Overall, the security posture supports the site's regulatory function but would benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to prevent vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all users.
  5. Consider adding minimal analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to monitor site usage and improve service.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Angular 16 with Angular Material, indicating a modern and maintainable front-end technology stack. The use of FriendlyCaptcha demonstrates attention to bot mitigation. The site is served over HTTPS with no mixed content detected. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by rich UI components and media assets. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and canonical URLs. No CMS or backend technology is explicitly detected from the front-end content. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site uses minimal external domains, primarily for media assets and CAPTCHA services, reducing external dependencies and attack surface.
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.
