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

The Akademie für Mediation, Soziales und Recht der Steinbeis Hochschule Berlin operates a professional educational website offering mediation and related training programs across multiple German cities. The website positions itself as a niche provider of certified mediation and supervision education, leveraging its affiliation with the Steinbeis Hochschule Berlin to establish credibility. The business model focuses on professional development and continuing education for individuals seeking certification in mediation, supervision, and coaching fields. Technically, the website employs a modern tech stack including jQuery, Swiper.js, Google Tag Manager, and Cookiebot for consent management. It is built on the Contao Open Source CMS platform and demonstrates good SEO practices with structured data and meta tags. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and professional design. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR. However, there is room for improvement in security headers and publishing formal security policies or incident response contacts. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected in the WHOIS data or site content. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professionally maintained, and compliant with privacy regulations. It effectively serves its educational audience with relevant content and transparent advertising and tracking practices.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL 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 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

  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

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Weak SPF Policy

      SPF record has permissive policy allowing any server to send email

      What to do: Use -all or ~all qualifier for better email security

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 academy targets professionals and individuals interested in mediation and supervision training, offering a range of certified programs. Its market position is strengthened by its Steinbeis Hochschule affiliation, which adds academic credibility. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on educational offerings with potential revenue from course fees and training materials. The presence of multiple city contacts indicates a regional footprint within Germany. The website's partnership ecosystem includes Steinbeis mediation projects and EU-funded initiatives, suggesting active engagement in research and development within the mediation field.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent managed via Cookiebot. The presence of CSRF tokens indicates attention to secure form handling. However, the absence of explicit security headers and incident response information suggests gaps in comprehensive security policy implementation. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. The site uses third-party scripts from reputable providers but should regularly audit these for vulnerabilities. Compliance with GDPR is evident through consent mechanisms but could be enhanced with clearer privacy policies and data protection officer contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a detailed privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the website footer to improve transparency and compliance.
  3. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Include contact information for a Data Protection Officer or privacy contact to comply with GDPR requirements.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and update them to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Contao CMS with a frontend leveraging jQuery and Swiper.js for interactive elements. Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot are integrated for analytics and consent management, respectively. The site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility compliance. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph data, and JSON-LD structured data for ratings. The site is mobile responsive and provides a clear navigation structure, enhancing user experience. Technical risks are low but could be further mitigated by updating security headers and optimizing third-party dependencies.
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.
