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

MAXXmarketing GmbH operates the website www.webdesigner-profi.de, offering comprehensive web design, programming, SEO, and online marketing services primarily targeting businesses in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The company positions itself as a mid-sized agency with over 15 years of experience and a strong portfolio of more than 2000 projects, supported by trust signals such as Google Partner certification and notable client references. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and structured to provide clear navigation and service information. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, PHP, and MySQL, with asynchronous loading of analytics and marketing scripts such as Google Tag Manager and Yandex Metrika. Hosting appears to be provided by Your-Server.de based on nameserver data. Performance and SEO optimization are good, though accessibility features are basic. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks explicit security headers and incident response disclosures. From a security and compliance perspective, the site lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, consent mechanisms, and vulnerability disclosure information, which are areas for improvement. Contact information is clearly presented, enhancing business credibility. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, allowing full content access and analysis. Overall, the website demonstrates a solid business and technical foundation with room to enhance privacy compliance and security best practices to further strengthen trust and regulatory adherence.

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

11 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.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

MAXXmarketing GmbH is positioned as a reputable web design and online marketing agency serving the DACH region. Their competitive advantages include a broad service portfolio covering web design, programming, SEO, and online marketing, supported by a large team and extensive project experience. The business model focuses on project-based and hourly service delivery, targeting SMEs and professionals seeking digital presence enhancement. Strategic partnerships with Google and other industry players bolster their market credibility. The company leverages client testimonials and case studies to demonstrate effectiveness and growth impact. Growth indicators include a diversified service offering and visible client base from various sectors. The partnership ecosystem includes Google Partner status and collaborations with SEO tool providers. Operationally, the company maintains a professional web presence with moderate technical sophistication and marketing integration.

Security posture

The website's security maturity is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, ensuring encrypted communication. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection reduces defense-in-depth. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Forms are present but lack explicit security or privacy notices. There is no public incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy, which limits transparency and preparedness. GDPR compliance indicators are weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. The use of third-party analytics and marketing scripts introduces moderate tracking risk without clear user consent. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires enhancements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add and configure essential security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection) to strengthen site security.
  3. Publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities and privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, PHP, and MySQL, indicating a traditional LAMP stack environment. The presence of Joomla-related references suggests CMS usage or at least CMS programming expertise. Hosting is likely provided by Your-Server.de based on nameserver data. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics and marketing scripts to optimize load times. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and media queries. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, structured data (JSON-LD), and canonical links. However, accessibility is basic and could be improved. No modern JavaScript frameworks or advanced frontend technologies were detected. The technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
