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

The website www.adfc-radtourismus.de is operated by the Allgemeiner Deutscher Fahrrad-Club e.V., a recognized non-profit organization promoting cycling tourism in Germany. It offers a comprehensive range of cycling routes, quality certifications, and tourism services targeted at cycling enthusiasts and tourists. The site is well-branded, professionally designed, and provides useful content in German, focusing on regional and thematic cycling tours. Technically, the site is built on TYPO3 CMS with modern web technologies including jQuery, Bootstrap modals, Matomo analytics configured for privacy, and Google Ad Manager for advertising. The site is mobile optimized and has good SEO practices. Cookie consent is implemented with detailed user options, reflecting GDPR compliance. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has implemented cookie consent and privacy measures. However, explicit security headers are not detected, and no dedicated security or incident response policies are published. WHOIS data is minimal but not suspicious, aligning with the organization's legitimacy. Overall, the site presents a low-risk profile with good privacy compliance and a solid business reputation. Strategic improvements could include adding security headers, publishing security policies, and providing incident response contacts to enhance trust and security 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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • 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

  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"

    • 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
  • 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 Allgemeiner Deutscher Fahrrad-Club e.V. operates this site as part of its mission to promote cycling tourism in Germany. The organization leverages its strong brand and network to offer curated cycling routes, certified regions, and package holidays. The business model is non-profit focused on community and tourism development rather than direct sales. Partnerships with related sites like deutschland-per-rad.de and bettundbike.de enhance its ecosystem. The target audience includes cycling tourists, families, and outdoor enthusiasts. The site’s content and services position it as a trusted resource in the German cycling tourism market, with moderate size and reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and privacy-respecting analytics (Matomo with cookies disabled). Cookie consent is comprehensive and user-friendly. However, the absence of explicit security headers (CSP, HSTS, etc.) and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site would benefit from formalizing security documentation and enhancing HTTP security headers to mitigate risks and improve compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  3. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting.
  4. Add incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses) to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and advertising integrations to ensure no vulnerabilities or privacy issues arise.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS, a mature and extensible content management system, combined with jQuery and Bootstrap for frontend UI components. Advertising is managed via Google Publisher Tags, and analytics are handled by Matomo configured to disable cookies, reflecting privacy awareness. The site is mobile optimized and uses canonical URLs and Open Graph metadata for SEO and social sharing. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site could improve accessibility features and implement modern security headers for enhanced protection.
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.
