High risk. 10 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view, Network security and 2 other checks.

Security score

40/100

Risk levelHigh

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

The website waxmann-verlag.de currently hosts only a default placeholder page generated by Plesk, indicating that no active website content or business information is published. The domain is configured with AWS DNS nameservers, suggesting hosting on Amazon infrastructure, but no SSL certificate or HTTPS enforcement is evident. The absence of privacy policies, contact information, or terms of service further indicates that the site is not yet operational or publicly serving business purposes. From a technical perspective, the site uses basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with Plesk platform integration but lacks advanced frameworks or CMS. Security posture is weak due to missing HTTPS and security headers, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present. Overall, the site presents a low trust profile and minimal digital maturity.

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.

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

No business intelligence data is available from the website content. The domain appears unused or in initial setup phase. There are no indications of market positioning, business model, or services offered. External links point exclusively to Plesk resources and related service promotions, which are generic and not specific to any business entity. No partnerships or subsidiaries are identified.

Security posture

The security posture is minimal with no HTTPS detected and no security headers present. No forms or data collection mechanisms exist, reducing attack surface but also indicating no active business operations. The lack of privacy and cookie policies shows non-compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations. No incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure policies are found. The domain uses reputable AWS DNS but lacks registrant transparency. Overall, the site is not secure for production use and requires significant improvements before going live.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate to secure all traffic.
  2. Replace the default placeholder page with actual business content and branding.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR.
  4. Add clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer and security incident reporting.
  5. Configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Amazon AWS infrastructure using Plesk control panel. The current content is a default Plesk-generated placeholder page with basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. No CMS or advanced frameworks are detected. The site is mobile responsive with basic accessibility features but lacks SEO optimization beyond minimal meta tags. No analytics or tracking scripts are present. Performance is moderate given the minimal content. The site requires deployment of actual content and configuration of HTTPS and security best practices to be production-ready.
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.
