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

zuseworks.de is a professionally operated coworking space located in Hünfeld, Germany, managed by Vierte Orte GmbH. The company offers a variety of flexible workspace solutions including flex desks, private offices, meeting rooms, virtual office services, event spaces, and coaching rooms. The business targets creatives, entrepreneurs, and self-employed professionals seeking a modern and community-driven work environment. The website is well-structured, visually appealing, and provides clear contact information and social media links, supporting a positive user experience. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Elementor page builder, leveraging modern web technologies such as jQuery and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is hosted on servers associated with kasserver.com, with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent managed via Usercentrics, indicating a good level of digital maturity and privacy compliance. Performance and mobile optimization are adequate, though accessibility could be improved. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms but lacks explicit security headers and publicly available security or incident response policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The domain WHOIS data is consistent with the business information, enhancing trustworthiness. Overall, zuseworks.de presents a low-risk profile with a solid business presence and good technical implementation. Strategic improvements in security headers, incident response transparency, and accessibility would further strengthen its 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

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 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 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 · 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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The company operates in the coworking and flexible office space sector, focusing on the local market in Hünfeld, Germany. Its competitive advantage lies in offering a comprehensive range of workspace solutions combined with a community-oriented approach. Revenue streams likely include workspace rentals, virtual office services, event hosting, and ancillary services. The target customers are freelancers, startups, small teams, and creatives. The parent company, Vierte Orte GmbH, manages multiple similar brands, indicating a growing portfolio in the flexible workspace market. The website supports brand consistency and professional communication, which aids in customer acquisition and retention.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No public security policies or incident response contacts were found, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and Usercentrics is standard but requires ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. There is no evidence of vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data in the current content. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by the privacy and cookie policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with WCAG guidelines and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate risks from vulnerable components.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Elementor page builder, which provides flexibility and ease of content management. The inclusion of jQuery and Google Tag Manager supports interactive features and analytics tracking. Hosting is provided by kasserver.com, as indicated by the nameservers. The site loads with moderate performance and is optimized for mobile devices. SEO practices are evident through proper meta tags and structured navigation. However, there is room for improvement in accessibility and security header implementation. The technical stack is standard for small to medium-sized business websites, balancing functionality and maintainability.
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.
