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. 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

    • 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

  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

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

WinLocal operates in the competitive digital marketing sector in Germany, focusing on providing comprehensive online marketing solutions to businesses, including franchises, manufacturers, and retail chains. The company leverages AI technology to enhance service delivery and customer outcomes. Its market positioning is strengthened by references to notable clients and a clear B2B focus. The business model revolves around subscription-based packages and tailored B2B solutions. The website's integration with HubSpot indicates a mature marketing automation strategy. However, the lack of visible direct contact information and privacy policies may impact user trust and compliance perception.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced and no visible leakage of sensitive information. The use of Google Consent Mode indicates awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces the overall security robustness. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could be a gap in transparency and preparedness. The site does not appear to be protected by a WAF or present any blocking challenges, allowing full content access. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from enhanced headers and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement and configure security headers to improve protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Add visible and verified company contact information including emails and phone numbers to enhance trust and compliance.
  4. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure privacy compliance and minimize user tracking.

Notes

The website is built on HubSpot CMS, utilizing modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. It integrates Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing automation. Hosting is managed by hosting.de, a reputable German hosting provider, as indicated by the nameservers. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO meta tags. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility features. No critical technical issues or broken elements were detected in the provided content. The technical infrastructure supports the business model effectively but could be enhanced with additional security and privacy features.
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.
