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

YGG-Workgroups Medienagentur is a small German full-service media agency specializing in internet presence, software development, multimedia, and graphic design. Their website content is primarily in German and targets a general audience seeking media and web services. The agency uses a proprietary CMS platform named SolutionOnDemand and hosts their website on servers associated with kasserver.com. The site design and navigation are basic but functional, reflecting a small local business profile. From a technical perspective, the website employs standard HTML and CSS without modern JavaScript frameworks or advanced technologies. There is no evidence of advanced performance optimization or mobile responsiveness beyond basic levels. The absence of visible scripts or analytics tools suggests limited digital marketing or tracking capabilities. Security posture is weak, with no detected HTTPS/SSL configuration or security headers. There is no cookie consent mechanism or explicit privacy compliance indicators beyond a basic privacy policy page. The WHOIS data is consistent with the website's business claims and hosting provider, indicating legitimacy. However, the lack of contact information and security best practices reduces trustworthiness. Overall, the website presents a low to moderate risk profile but requires improvements in security, privacy compliance, and contact transparency to enhance business credibility and user trust.

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

12 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: SMB

      Port 445 (SMB) is publicly accessible - SMB - Windows file sharing, high risk

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to SMB using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 · found on this site
  • 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.

Business context

Business profile

YGG-Workgroups operates as a small regional media agency focused on providing comprehensive digital media services including web design, software development, and multimedia production. Their business model centers on full-service client engagements for internet presence and content management solutions. The company targets a broad audience in Germany, emphasizing local markets such as Olching, Fürstenfeldbruck, and Munich. Competitive advantages include integrated multimedia and software capabilities, but the website's basic digital maturity and minimal marketing tools suggest limited scale and growth momentum. The partnership with SolutionOnDemand CMS indicates a reliance on proprietary technology platforms. There is no evidence of subsidiaries or parent company relationships. The agency's market position is modest, with opportunities to expand digital marketing and security practices to improve client acquisition and retention.

Security posture

The current security maturity level of the website is low. The absence of HTTPS/SSL is a critical vulnerability that exposes users to data interception risks. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options are present to mitigate common web attacks. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy, and no contact channels for security issues are provided. Privacy compliance is minimal, with only a basic privacy policy page and no cookie consent mechanism. The lack of contact information and security best practices reduces the overall security culture and readiness. While no explicit vulnerabilities or malware were detected, the site is at risk due to outdated security configurations and lack of transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate to secure all website traffic.
  2. Add standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy and cookie policy with a consent mechanism compliant with GDPR.
  4. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for business and security incident reporting.
  5. Develop and publish a security policy and incident response plan to improve trust and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using basic HTML and CSS with no detected JavaScript frameworks or modern front-end technologies. It uses a proprietary CMS named SolutionOnDemand, which may limit flexibility and integration options. Hosting is provided by kasserver.com, a known German hosting provider. Performance appears moderate but could be improved with modern optimization techniques. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic, indicating potential usability issues on diverse devices. SEO optimization is minimal, relying mainly on meta tags. The lack of analytics and marketing tools suggests limited digital maturity. Technical debt is likely present due to outdated technology choices and minimal security implementations.
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.
