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

Versicherungskammer Bayern is a large regional insurance provider in Germany offering a wide range of insurance products including auto, home, liability, health, travel, life, and retirement insurance. The website targets private customers, families, professionals, farmers, companies, and municipal clients, providing comprehensive product information and multiple online service portals. The company emphasizes customer service with online claims reporting and contract management features. Technically, the website uses modern web technologies such as jQuery, Modernizr, and a consent management platform (Usercentrics), built on a CMS framework (OEVD CMS) with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and sandboxed iframes, though some security headers could be improved. Privacy compliance is supported by a cookie consent mechanism but lacks explicit privacy policy and terms of service links in the provided content. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, and the domain WHOIS data is limited but consistent with a legitimate business. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-structured, suitable for its insurance business model.

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

3 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.

    • 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.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

  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 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

The company holds a strong market position in the Bavarian insurance market with a broad portfolio and digital services. Its business model focuses on direct insurance sales and customer self-service portals. The target audience is diverse, including individuals, families, professionals, and businesses. The website content and testimonials reinforce trust and customer satisfaction. The company leverages Adobe Tag Manager and Usercentrics for marketing and compliance. No explicit partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the domain data. The business appears mature and well-established, though no founding year or parent company information was found.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS, sandboxed iframes, and consent management. However, explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are absent. Security headers like CSP, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy are not explicitly present in the HTML. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected. The site would benefit from publishing security and incident response information to enhance transparency and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the main navigation or footer.
  2. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  3. Provide explicit security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to maintain security and performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including jQuery 3.6.1, Modernizr, and a CMS platform (OEVD CMS). It employs Adobe Tag Manager and Usercentrics CMP for marketing and privacy compliance. The site is mobile responsive and accessible, with good SEO practices including meta descriptions and canonical links. Performance is moderate, with some external scripts loaded asynchronously. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The site uses sandboxed iframes for embedded content, enhancing security. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could improve with enhanced security headers and performance optimizations.
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.
