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

Hetzner Online GmbH is a well-established German hosting and data center operator founded in 1997, offering a broad range of IT infrastructure services including dedicated servers, cloud hosting, and scalable S3-compatible Object Storage solutions. The company emphasizes GDPR compliance, sustainability through 100% green electricity, and transparent pricing models. Their Object Storage product targets businesses and private customers needing flexible, secure, and scalable storage solutions with pay-as-you-go billing. Technically, the website is built on modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and uses SilverStripe CMS. It integrates Matomo analytics for privacy-conscious user tracking and provides a responsive, accessible, and well-structured user experience. The hosting is self-managed by Hetzner, ensuring good performance and reliability. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses cookie consent mechanisms, and secures forms with CSRF tokens. However, explicit security headers are not clearly visible in the HTML, and no dedicated security or incident response pages are found. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable, which limits domain registration trust analysis but does not detract from the professional presentation and trust signals on the site. Overall, Hetzner Online demonstrates a strong security posture, excellent privacy compliance, and a mature business model. Strategic recommendations include publishing explicit security policies, enhancing security headers, and providing clear incident response contacts to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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. 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 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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.

Business context

Business profile

Hetzner Online holds a strong market position as one of Europe's largest data center operators, leveraging competitive pricing and a broad product portfolio to serve a diverse customer base. Their business model focuses on scalable hosting and cloud services with transparent pay-as-you-go pricing, appealing to startups, SMEs, and enterprises. The company benefits from a green energy commitment, enhancing its sustainability credentials. The extensive product range, including dedicated servers, cloud, and object storage, positions Hetzner as a versatile provider in the technology sector. Their active presence on multiple social media platforms and community engagement supports brand visibility and customer support. The lack of WHOIS transparency may be a privacy measure but should be monitored for legitimacy. Overall, Hetzner's business intelligence reflects a mature, customer-focused, and growth-oriented organization.

Security posture

Hetzner Online's website demonstrates a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS, secure form handling, and GDPR-compliant cookie consent. The use of server-side encryption for object storage data and object locking features indicates strong data protection practices. However, the absence of explicit security headers in the HTML and lack of a published security policy or incident response page represent areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The WHOIS data absence limits domain trust verification but does not indicate immediate risk. The security posture is robust but could be enhanced by formalizing security disclosures and incident response mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page with clear contact information.
  2. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide explicit contact channels for reporting security incidents or vulnerabilities.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are used.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet or exceed compliance standards.

Notes

The website is built using modern web standards including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, with SilverStripe CMS managing content. It employs Matomo analytics for privacy-focused tracking and uses Webpack for asset bundling. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features.

Opportunities exist to improve security header implementation and formalize security documentation to reduce technical risks.
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.
