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. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. 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

  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

Business profile

VKF Finanz GmbH holds a solid position as a small-sized insurance brokerage firm focused on personalized insurance solutions for private and business clients in Germany. Their business model revolves around brokerage and advisory services, leveraging partnerships with financing and insurance providers. The presence of multiple partner domains suggests a collaborative ecosystem enhancing their service offerings. The company emphasizes customer engagement through callback requests, appointment scheduling, and insurance quote forms, supported by CAPTCHA to mitigate spam. While no explicit certifications or regulatory disclosures are visible, the company maintains transparency through comprehensive privacy and cookie policies. The absence of social media links may indicate a focus on direct client relationships or regional marketing strategies. The website content and navigation are clear, supporting effective lead generation and customer service.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and CAPTCHA implemented on all user input forms, reducing automated abuse risks. However, the absence 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 incident response or security contact information is provided, which could hinder timely vulnerability reporting and mitigation. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party scripts from trusted sources like digidor and FriendlyCaptcha is noted, but regular audits are recommended to ensure no outdated or vulnerable libraries are in use. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small financial services website but could be enhanced with additional hardening measures and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve trust.
  3. Regularly audit and update all third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from vulnerable libraries.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider adding terms of service and expanding trust indicators such as certifications or customer testimonials to boost business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using the cm Homepage-Baukasten CMS platform, leveraging CDN services from digidor.de for content delivery. The technology stack includes standard HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, with integration of FriendlyCaptcha for bot mitigation. Performance is moderate, with responsive design ensuring good mobile usability. SEO optimization is basic but present, with meta tags and Open Graph data included. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and keyboard navigation. The site uses multiple external domains for marketing and financing partnerships, indicating a modular service architecture. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected, but the absence of advanced frameworks or modern JavaScript libraries suggests a relatively simple technical infrastructure.
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.
