Alumni Association · Other · Germany

Medium risk. 2 critical or high findings in SSL/TLS and Network security.

Security score

64/100

Risk levelMedium

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

The website represents an Alumni Association based in Germany, likely serving a small community of alumni members. The business appears to be a non-commercial or community-focused entity with limited public-facing services. The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS and integrates Cookiebot for cookie consent management, indicating a basic level of digital maturity and compliance with cookie regulations. However, the absence of explicit privacy and terms of service pages limits its compliance posture. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies but lacks visible security headers and SEO optimization, which could impact discoverability and security. The security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but no advanced security practices evident. Overall, the site is functional but would benefit from enhanced compliance documentation and security hardening.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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

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.

Add-on

Leaked records that mention alumni-association.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for alumni-association.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

The Alumni Association targets alumni and related communities, focusing on engagement and information sharing. The business model is likely non-commercial, relying on community participation rather than revenue generation. The site does not reveal partnerships or subsidiaries, and no certifications or trust badges are present. The use of Cookiebot and Google/Meta tracking indicates some marketing and analytics efforts. The organization appears small with a localized presence in Germany. Growth indicators and competitive positioning are not discernible from the content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS usage and a cookie consent mechanism. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No incident response or security policy information is provided, which could hinder effective handling of security incidents. The extensive use of third-party trackers like Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel increases the surface for privacy concerns. Compliance with GDPR is partially indicated by the cookie consent but lacks a formal privacy policy. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires improvements to meet best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common attacks.
  3. Review and optimize SEO settings, including updating robots meta tag to allow indexing if appropriate.
  4. Provide clear contact information including phone numbers and physical addresses to improve business credibility.
  5. Establish an incident response contact channel and security policy to demonstrate security readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust content management system, and uses Cookiebot for cookie consent management. The site loads external scripts from trusted domains such as YouTube and Google, indicating integration with popular platforms. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of JavaScript and CSS. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic. SEO is limited due to restrictive robots meta tags. Hosting is provided by rzone.de as indicated by the nameservers. There is room for modernization by adding security headers, improving metadata, and enhancing content structure.
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.
