Launched a free DSGVO compliance scanner — scanned 200+ sites, 73% had violations

TL;DR: Built a free tool that scans websites for GDPR/DSGVO compliance violations. Try it: nevik.de/guard/ — no signup, just paste a URL.

The Origin Story

A few months ago, a client forwarded me an Abmahnung (German legal warning letter) demanding €900 because their website loaded Google Fonts from Google's CDN. I'd built the site. I felt terrible.

One Google Fonts request = one IP address sent to Google = one GDPR violation in Germany.
