xmental – Digitale Lösungen is a specialized TYPO3 agency based in Berlin, Germany, with a strong focus on creating barrier-free, accessible websites primarily for clients in the cultural, educational, and societal sectors. Established since 2001, the company positions itself as a reliable and experienced partner for TYPO3 web projects, emphasizing compliance with upcoming accessibility laws and standards. Their key services include consulting, design, TYPO3 development, digital accessibility, and ongoing support. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with excellent content quality and user experience. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS and leverages modern web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, Bootstrap, and jQuery. It is hosted on servers indicated by the agenturserver nameservers and uses Matomo for privacy-conscious analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and demonstrates good SEO and accessibility practices, including a cookie consent mechanism and detailed privacy policy. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and implements cookie consent for compliance. However, it lacks explicit security headers and a published security or incident response policy. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The WHOIS data is consistent with the business claims, showing a domain age that matches the company's stated history, enhancing trustworthiness. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and compliance posture.

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

7 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. 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"

    • 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';…

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

xmental operates as a small, specialized TYPO3 agency targeting cultural, educational, and societal organizations primarily in Germany. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing experience since 2001 and their focus on digital accessibility and barrier-free web solutions, which aligns with upcoming legal requirements effective from 2025. The business model is service-oriented, providing consulting, design, development, and support for TYPO3 CMS projects. Their partnership ecosystem includes collaborations with design agencies and cultural institutions. Growth indicators include recent project wins and active content updates. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear contact points and a portfolio showcasing relevant projects, positioning them well within their niche market segment.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and privacy-conscious analytics via Matomo. The presence of a cookie consent banner and a comprehensive privacy policy indicates GDPR compliance awareness. However, the absence of explicit HTTP security headers (such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) and lack of a published security policy or incident response contact represent gaps in security maturity. No visible vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were found, and no incident response or security contact emails were identified. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by implementing recommended headers and formalizing security policies to enhance resilience and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve communication with security researchers.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance monitoring and logging capabilities to detect and respond to security incidents promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust open-source content management system, utilizing modern front-end technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, Bootstrap, jQuery, Sass, and Slim templating. The hosting environment is indicated by agenturserver nameservers, suggesting a professional hosting provider. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is supported by appropriate meta tags and structured content. The use of Matomo analytics reflects a privacy-conscious approach. There is no evidence of technical debt or outdated technologies, but the absence of security headers and formal security documentation suggests areas for modernization and risk mitigation.
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.
