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

The website aufholzbauen.de represents the Holzbau-Offensive, an educational initiative focused on timber construction for planners in the Baden-Württemberg region of Germany. It offers courses, webinars, and resources to support professionals in this niche sector. The platform is built on WordPress with WooCommerce integration for course management, indicating a digital maturity aligned with modern CMS and e-commerce technologies. The site is well-branded, consistent, and targets a specialized professional audience with relevant content in German. Technically, the site uses standard web technologies including jQuery and Revolution Slider, and implements GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms via CookieYes. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and basic security headers, though there is room for improvement in advanced headers and explicit security policies. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with privacy regulations, though it lacks explicit contact and security policy disclosures.

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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

Holzbau-Offensive positions itself as a regional educational platform specializing in timber construction planning. Its business model revolves around providing educational content and webinars, likely supported by regional or governmental funding. The target audience is professional planners in Baden-Württemberg, indicating a focused market segment. The use of WooCommerce suggests monetization through course sales or registrations. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its niche specialization and regional focus. The absence of explicit contact information and certifications suggests a small to medium-sized operation. The partnership ecosystem is not evident from the data, and no parent or subsidiary companies are identified. Growth indicators are not explicit but the professional design and GDPR compliance indicate a mature digital presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and the X-Frame-Options header is set to deny, protecting against clickjacking. Cookie consent is implemented, reflecting GDPR compliance. However, additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Content-Type-Options are missing, which could enhance security posture. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The absence of a security.txt file and incident response contact channels indicates limited formal security governance. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but could benefit from enhanced security policies and disclosures to improve incident response readiness and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen security posture.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response plan on the website, including contact channels for reporting security issues.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  4. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers to enhance business credibility and user trust.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate risks from outdated software.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality, supported by jQuery and Revolution Slider for UI components. The theme used is Uncode, a premium WordPress theme. Cookie consent is managed by CookieYes, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. The site uses Cloudflare Bot Management as indicated by the __cf_bm cookie, suggesting some level of DDoS or bot protection. Performance is moderate with responsive design and mobile optimization evident. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO optimization is good with proper meta tags and structured data. Hosting provider details are not explicit but likely involve Cloudflare services. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for an educational platform, though some technical debt may exist due to missing advanced security headers and limited accessibility enhancements.
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.
