## Full analysis


### Overview

BFM-berlin.de is the corporate website of BFM Baugrundinstitut Franke-Meißner Berlin-Brandenburg GmbH, presenting a professional engineering consultancy focused on geotechnical investigations, hydrogeology, environmental engineering, construction-ground assessment, laboratory testing, technical reports, project supervision, references, and recruitment.


### Scam/Impersonation Risk

No contradictions were observed. The homepage, company-information pages, project references, contact details, and legal notices form a coherent corporate/service profile, with no phishing, brand-impersonation, or malicious-content indicators identified. Dynamic testing did record suspicious inline scripts and some non-whitelisted external network activity, but it found no login form, hidden form, externally submitted password form, wallet connection, clipboard manipulation, or cloaking; these observations are implementation-level anomalies rather than evidence of impersonation or fraud. Available external checks reported no malicious or suspicious result, although reputation coverage was partial.


Evidence:
- The homepage identifies the business as BFM Baugrundinstitut Franke-Meißner Berlin-Brandenburg GmbH and describes geotechnical, hydrogeological, environmental, and construction-related services.
- Registration continuity indicates a domain age of 24.61054072553046 years; archival records contain 173 snapshots spanning 2002–2025, with 24 years tracked.
- Dynamic testing recorded 2 suspicious inline scripts, 13 external XHR requests, 3 non-whitelisted external XHR requests, and 3 non-whitelisted external posts; it recorded 0 hidden forms, 0 password external forms, 0 wallet-connect runs, 0 clipboard-write events, and cloaking level “none.”

### Regulatory Verification Notes

The site presents a defined corporate name, service scope, company information, contact details, legal notices, project references, and job listings. The supplied pages do not present a license number or specific regulatory authorization; for a professional engineering consultancy, this is a disclosure and verification point rather than evidence of a scam. The real-world operator identity remains independently unverified, so the on-site company presentation should be treated as apparently legitimate and evidence-consistent, not as independently proven. The available broker-context check produced no match and should be understood only as supporting reputational context, not as a licensing determination.


Evidence:
- The contact and legal-notice areas publish the company name together with a telephone number and business email address.
- The site’s transport encryption uses a DV certificate issued by Sectigo Public Server Authentication CA DV R36, valid to 2026-10-13T23:59:59+00:00, with 54 days remaining.
- The hosting infrastructure is identified as AS8560, IONOS-AS - IONOS SE, DE, in Germany.

### What to Verify Next

Before a contractual or payment interaction, an independent corporate-record or professional-registry check should confirm the legal entity named on the site and the relevant engineering-service permissions, if applicable to the engagement. Procurement teams should also reconcile the project references and named contacts through an independently sourced business channel, and confirm contractual scope, invoicing details, liability terms, and payment-protection arrangements before committing funds or credentials.


Evidence:
- The legal-notice and company-information pages provide the names and contact points that should be compared with independently sourced records.
- The service and project-reference pages provide the operational scope against which a prospective engagement can be matched.
- The absence of a stated license number on the supplied pages makes registry confirmation the appropriate regulatory follow-up.

### Summary Verdict

Available evidence is consistent with an established, apparently legitimate corporate website and supports a high-trust, low-risk posture. No scam, phishing, impersonation, or other identity contradiction was observed, while independent confirmation of the real-world operator remains incomplete.


### Infrastructure Integrity

The site benefits from CDN/WAF protection, which is a mitigating control against direct exposure and abuse but is not proof of legitimacy. All observed addresses were CDN edge addresses, with no origin candidate identified during the analysis.


Evidence:
- The site resolved to 2 observed edge IP addresses: 2001:8d8:100f:f000::233 and 217.160.0.226.
- The edge infrastructure is hosted on AS8560 through IONOS-AS - IONOS SE, DE; the registry is RIPE NCC and the country is DE.

### Closing Assessment

Ordinary browsing is proportionate to the assessed posture; independent entity, contractual, and payment-protection checks should be completed before sensitive credential submission or financial commitment.

## About this assessment


A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about bfm-berlin.de at assessment time. It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present.

TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed.
