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

YellowMap AG is a German technology company specializing in GDPR-compliant mapping and geo-location solutions, offering products such as SmartMaps, FilialFinder, and Click & Collect. With over 25 years of experience, they position themselves as a trusted provider of cloud-based location services hosted in ISO 27001 certified German data centers. Their business model focuses on B2B SaaS and full-service offerings, targeting enterprises seeking privacy-conscious geo solutions. Technically, the website employs modern frameworks like Vue.js and integrates privacy-respecting analytics tools such as Matomo and Leadinfo. The site is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and provides comprehensive content and contact information. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and data privacy by design, though some improvements in security headers and incident response transparency are recommended. WHOIS data is missing, which raises some legitimacy concerns but is offset by the professional web presence and trust signals. Overall, YellowMap AG demonstrates a mature digital infrastructure and a strong commitment to privacy and security.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Weak SPF Policy

      SPF record has permissive policy allowing any server to send email

      What to do: Use -all or ~all qualifier for better email security

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

YellowMap AG holds a solid market position as a specialist in GDPR-compliant geo solutions with a long-standing history. Their competitive advantage lies in privacy-first design, ISO 27001 hosting, and customizable mapping APIs. Revenue streams likely include SaaS subscriptions, consulting, and full-service implementations. The target customers are medium to large enterprises requiring compliant location services. The company maintains a professional partnership ecosystem, including integrations with other mapping providers and a presence on LinkedIn. Growth indicators include continuous product development and customer testimonials. Strategic observations suggest focusing on enhancing transparency around security policies and domain registration to strengthen trust further.

Security posture

The security maturity level is good, with enforced HTTPS, ISO 27001 certified hosting, and no tracking or persistent data storage. The website lacks explicit security headers and a public incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy, which are areas for improvement. GDPR compliance is well addressed, but no dedicated data protection officer contact was found. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The security culture appears strong but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized incident response communication.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Create and publish an incident response policy and provide a dedicated security contact email.
  3. Develop and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve legitimacy and trust.
  5. Continue to maintain GDPR compliance and enhance user privacy transparency on the website.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Vue.js 3.2.31 and jQuery, supported by custom CSS and responsive design techniques. Hosting is on proprietary servers within ISO 27001 certified German data centers, ensuring high security and data sovereignty. Performance is fast with good mobile optimization and accessibility. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Analytics are implemented via privacy-focused Matomo and Leadinfo, with minimal user tracking. Technical risks are low, but the absence of security headers and incomplete WHOIS data represent minor technical debt and trust concerns.
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.
