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

voila-startups.com is a professional platform operated under the Markant brand, designed to connect startups and innovators with one of the largest retail networks in Germany and Europe. The website facilitates product presentation to over 200 retail partners, offering startups a streamlined and cost-free channel to access retail shelves. The business model centers on enabling innovation diffusion within the retail sector, targeting startups seeking market entry and growth. The platform is moderately sized and founded in 2019, consistent with the domain registration data. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and tracking tools such as Facebook Pixel and Jentis for analytics and marketing. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, though accessibility features are basic. Hosting and domain registration are managed by Deutsche Telekom AG, a reputable provider, ensuring stable infrastructure. From a security perspective, the site employs HTTPS and integrates cookie consent mechanisms, reflecting basic privacy compliance. However, it lacks explicit privacy and terms of service pages, security headers, and incident response contact information, which are areas for improvement. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, and no vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were found in the WHOIS data, indicating a trustworthy domain. Overall, voila-startups.com presents a solid business and technical foundation with moderate security posture. Strategic enhancements in privacy documentation, security headers, and contact transparency would elevate its compliance and trustworthiness, supporting its role as a credible startup-to-retail platform.

Priority findings

6 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. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 website operates as a strategic interface for startups to showcase innovative products to a broad retail network managed by Markant. Its market positioning leverages Markant's extensive partner ecosystem, providing startups with access to a large distribution channel. The business model is platform-based, focusing on product presentation rather than direct sales, which may generate value through partnerships and network effects. The target customers are startups and product innovators primarily in Germany and Europe. The platform's growth potential is tied to the expansion of Markant's retail partnerships and the increasing demand for innovative retail products. The partnership with Markant enhances credibility and market reach, positioning the site as an important player in retail innovation facilitation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, ensuring encrypted communications. The presence of cookie consent indicates awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces defense-in-depth. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which may hinder timely vulnerability reporting and response. The use of third-party tracking scripts like Facebook Pixel and Jentis introduces privacy considerations that require careful management. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. To improve, the organization should implement comprehensive security headers, publish security policies, and establish clear incident response channels to align with GDPR and NIS2 compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  3. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy) to strengthen security posture.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Provide clear contact information including security and incident response contacts to improve transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and widely used content management system, indicating a stable and scalable infrastructure. It uses modern front-end libraries such as jQuery, Slick Slider, Masonry, and Isotope for enhanced user experience. Tracking and analytics are implemented via Facebook Pixel and Jentis, supporting marketing and user behavior analysis. Hosting is provided by Deutsche Telekom AG, a reputable provider, ensuring reliable uptime and performance. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly, though accessibility features could be enhanced. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading speed and resource management. Overall, the technical stack is solid but could benefit from modernization in security and accessibility standards.
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.
