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

Westernacher Solutions GmbH is a German-based company specializing in secure digitalization solutions tailored for the justice system, public administration, notaries, and church organizations. The company positions itself as a trusted provider of IT solutions that enhance efficiency and security in government-related processes. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting public sector clients with a focus on compliance and data protection. The business model revolves around delivering specialized software products and consulting services to facilitate digital transformation in regulated environments. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Avada theme and several plugins including Yoast SEO for search optimization, WPML for multilingual support, and Borlabs Cookie for cookie consent management. Hosting is provided by Anexia, as indicated by the DNS nameservers. The site is moderately performant, mobile-optimized, and employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. Structured data is implemented via JSON-LD to enhance search engine understanding. From a security perspective, the site benefits from HTTPS and domain transfer protection but lacks DNSSEC and visible security headers, which are recommended for enhanced protection. No explicit privacy policy or terms of service pages were detected in the provided content, which is a compliance gap. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are also absent, limiting transparency for security issues. The use of eTracker analytics indicates moderate user tracking, balanced by cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the website presents a high level of professionalism and business credibility with a strong focus on secure digital solutions for government sectors. To improve, the company should publish comprehensive privacy and security policies, implement DNSSEC, and add security headers. These steps will enhance compliance, trust, and security posture, aligning with the company's market positioning as a secure digitalization partner.

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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

    • 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

Business profile

Westernacher Solutions operates in the niche market of digital transformation for justice and public administration sectors in Germany. Their competitive advantage lies in their specialized knowledge of legal and governmental processes combined with a strong emphasis on security and data protection. The business model is service and product-oriented, offering tailored software solutions and consulting. The company targets government agencies, notaries, and church organizations, indicating a B2G and B2B focus. Growth indicators include a well-maintained website with multilingual support and active content updates. The partnership ecosystem includes their parent group (westernacher.group) and hosting provider Anexia. Strategic observations suggest a focus on compliance-driven digitalization, which is a growing market segment in Europe.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protection enabled. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The cookie consent mechanism via Borlabs Cookie indicates awareness of privacy regulations. Lack of published security policies and incident response contacts suggests limited readiness for security incidents. Compliance with GDPR is implied but not explicitly documented. Overall, the security posture is adequate but can be significantly improved by implementing recommended best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Implement security headers such as CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the website against common attacks.
  4. Create and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Avada theme and several well-known plugins for SEO, multilingual support, and cookie management. Hosting is provided by Anexia, a reputable provider. The site uses jQuery 3.7.1 and includes eTracker analytics scripts. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. Structured data is implemented correctly using JSON-LD, enhancing SEO. The site lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are technical risks. The use of caching and lazy loading images indicates some performance optimization. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance tuning.
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.
