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. 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 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 384-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 WBS GRUPPE operates in the education sector with a diversified brand portfolio including WBS TRAINING, WBS SCHULEN, and others. Their business model revolves around providing online and offline educational services, targeting learners and professionals. The company leverages digital marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics and Meta advertising to reach their audience. Their partnership ecosystem includes subdomains and related sites for news and recruitment. The company maintains a consistent brand presence and offers comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, indicating a focus on regulatory compliance and user trust. Growth indicators include international activity and multiple brand operations.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and uses Cookiebot for consent management, indicating a strong commitment to privacy and security. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces the overall security maturity. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The site does not appear to have a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adding formal security policies and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance.
  5. Enhance contact information visibility by including direct company emails and phone numbers for support and security contacts.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a robust open-source content management system, indicating a stable and scalable infrastructure. The integration of Cookiebot for cookie consent and Google Tag Manager for analytics shows modern digital marketing practices. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with preloading of fonts and DNS prefetching for external domains. No hosting provider details were explicitly found. The technical stack is modern and well implemented, though opportunities exist to improve 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.
