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

Weingut Michael Schroth is a small regional winery located in Grünstadt-Asselheim, Germany, specializing in a variety of wines including Winzersekt, Chardonnay, and Riesling. The website serves primarily as a digital presence showcasing the winery's offerings and regional identity. The business model focuses on wine production and sales targeted at wine consumers interested in the Pfalz region's specialties. Technically, the website uses basic HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Adobe Typekit fonts, with jQuery for scripting. Hosting appears to be provided by Ionos, but the site suffers from slow load times and minimal mobile optimization. Security posture is weak, with no SSL/TLS certificate, no HTTPS, and absence of security headers or DNS security features. Privacy and compliance policies are missing, and no contact information is provided on the landing page, limiting user trust and regulatory compliance. Overall, the site is functional but lacks modern security and privacy standards, which poses risks to visitors and the business's credibility.

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

10 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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  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

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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 winery operates in a niche regional market with a focus on traditional German wines. Its competitive advantage lies in its specialized wine varieties and local heritage. The business model is straightforward, relying on direct sales and brand presence. There is no evidence of advanced digital marketing, analytics, or e-commerce capabilities. The lack of contact details and compliance documentation may hinder customer engagement and trust. The partnership ecosystem is not evident from the website. Growth indicators and strategic partnerships are not disclosed, suggesting a small-scale operation with limited digital maturity.

Security posture

The website's security maturity is low. The absence of HTTPS and SSL certificates exposes users to data interception risks. No security headers or DNSSEC are implemented, increasing vulnerability to attacks. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present. These gaps pose significant risks to user data protection and business reputation. Immediate remediation is required to secure communications and demonstrate compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and configure a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the site.
  2. Implement essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users.
  4. Add clear contact information including email and phone numbers to improve trust and communication.
  5. Enable DNSSEC and CAA records to enhance domain security and prevent spoofing.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with basic web technologies including HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery. Adobe Typekit fonts are used for typography. Hosting is via Ionos, as indicated by DNS MX and SPF records. Performance is suboptimal with a load time exceeding 6 seconds for a small page, indicating potential optimization opportunities. Mobile optimization is minimal, relying on a redirect script rather than responsive design. No CMS or advanced frameworks detected. The absence of HTTPS and security headers represents a critical technical debt. No analytics or tracking scripts are present, indicating limited digital marketing integration.
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.
