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. 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

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. 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

      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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention agj.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for agj.de right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

AGJ holds a significant position in the German child and youth welfare sector, acting as a hub for policy advocacy, research, and project coordination. Its business model is non-profit, focusing on social impact rather than commercial revenue. The organization leverages partnerships with governmental bodies, EU institutions, and other non-profits to amplify its influence. The presence of a dedicated e-shop and multiple projects indicates diversified engagement channels. The target audience includes social workers, educators, policymakers, and researchers. The website content and structure reflect a mature digital presence, supporting growth and stakeholder engagement.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration, ensuring secure data transmission. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces the overall security posture. There is no public security policy or incident response information, which could be a gap in transparency and preparedness. Forms are present but no explicit anti-CSRF or input validation details are visible. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good but could benefit from enhanced header policies and published security practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Introduce a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR cookie requirements.
  3. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance contact information visibility by including verified company emails and phone numbers for better user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, ensuring scalability and maintainability. Frontend technologies include jQuery, Flexslider for image sliders, Font Awesome for icons, and Shariff for social sharing, indicating a modern and user-friendly interface. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with clear navigation menus and structured content. Hosting appears to be managed via your-server.de and second-ns.de nameservers, suggesting professional hosting arrangements. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and canonical URLs. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation and cookie consent mechanisms are areas for improvement.
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.
