Website Tracking is a specialized service provider focused on delivering GDPR-compliant website analytics and tracking solutions, primarily targeting website operators and marketers in Germany and Europe. The company emphasizes privacy, data protection, and compliance with EU regulations, offering services such as Matomo hosting and TYPO3 plugins. The website is built on TYPO3 CMS and integrates Matomo analytics with cookie-less tracking to enhance user privacy. The technical infrastructure is modern and well-implemented, with ISO 27001 certification and data storage exclusively in Germany, reinforcing trust and compliance. Security posture is solid, though improvements in security headers and incident response transparency are recommended. The absence of WHOIS registration data reduces domain trustworthiness, suggesting the need for verification of domain legitimacy. Overall, the website is professional, well-designed, and trustworthy, with a strong focus on privacy and compliance.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  2. 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  4. 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, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The company operates in the technology sector, providing essential web analytics services with a niche focus on privacy and GDPR compliance. Its market position is that of a specialized provider catering to privacy-conscious businesses. The business model revolves around offering hosted analytics solutions and plugins, leveraging open-source tools like Matomo. The target audience includes small to medium-sized enterprises and website operators seeking compliant analytics. The company demonstrates strong trust indicators such as ISO 27001 certification and German data center usage. However, the lack of publicly available contact information and WHOIS data may impact customer confidence. The company appears to maintain a consistent brand and content strategy, positioning itself as a reliable partner for privacy-focused analytics.

Security posture

The security maturity level is good, with adherence to ISO 27001 standards and operation within certified German data centers. The website disables cookies in tracking scripts and uses privacy-respecting analytics methods like browser fingerprinting. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options is a gap. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Incident response information is not publicly available, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. Compliance with GDPR is well addressed, but continuous monitoring and enhancement of security controls are advised to maintain and improve the security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish clear incident response and abuse contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS registration data to enhance domain legitimacy and trust.
  4. Enhance privacy compliance by providing detailed data retention policies and user consent mechanisms.
  5. Maintain and promote ISO 27001 certification and data protection practices to strengthen market position.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS, a robust and mature content management system, combined with Matomo analytics for privacy-focused tracking. The tech stack includes modern JavaScript and asynchronous script loading for performance. The site is mobile optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices. Hosting details are not explicit, but data storage is confirmed to be in Germany within ISO-certified data centers. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected. The site lacks some security headers which could be added to improve security posture. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business goals effectively with opportunities for incremental improvements.
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.
