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

The Axel-Bourjau-Stiftung website represents a small regional non-profit foundation focused on supporting children and youth work through cultural, educational, and social projects in Büchen, Germany. The foundation was established in 2005 and primarily serves local communities, churches, and schools. The website content is well-structured and provides clear information about the foundation's mission, projects, and history, targeting local stakeholders and potential supporters. Technically, the website uses Bootstrap and jQuery for frontend development and is hosted with GoDaddy services. The site performance is moderate with a page load time of approximately 3.3 seconds and basic mobile responsiveness. However, the site lacks a valid SSL certificate, resulting in no HTTPS support, which significantly impacts security posture and user trust. From a security perspective, the absence of HTTPS, security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms are critical vulnerabilities. No forms or direct contact emails are present on the homepage, limiting direct user engagement. The site does not implement modern security best practices such as HSTS or OCSP stapling. Privacy compliance is minimal, with a privacy policy page present but no cookie consent or GDPR indicators. Overall, the website is functional and informative but requires urgent security improvements, especially enabling HTTPS and implementing privacy compliance features, to enhance trustworthiness and protect user data.

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

9 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

  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.

    • 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 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"

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 Axel-Bourjau-Stiftung operates as a small non-profit foundation with a clear regional focus on Büchen and surrounding areas. Its competitive advantage lies in its local engagement and targeted support for youth, culture, and education projects. The foundation's business model is donation and grant-based, supporting community initiatives without commercial activities. The website serves as an informational platform rather than a transactional site, with no evident revenue streams or e-commerce features. Growth indicators are limited but the foundation's long-standing presence since 2005 suggests stable community support. No partnerships or subsidiaries are explicitly mentioned, and the domain's DNS and mail infrastructure are managed by GoDaddy services. The foundation could benefit from enhanced digital presence and outreach to expand its impact.

Security posture

The current security posture of the website is low due to the lack of HTTPS and absence of security headers. This exposes visitors to risks such as data interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. The site does not implement cookie consent or GDPR compliance mechanisms, which may lead to regulatory non-compliance. No incident response or security policy information is provided, indicating limited security governance. The DNS setup is standard with no DNSSEC or CAA records, which could be improved to enhance domain security. No vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed or POODLE are detected, but the missing SSL certificate is a critical issue. Overall, the site requires immediate security upgrades to protect users and comply with data protection regulations.

Recommendations

  1. Install and configure a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and mechanism to comply with GDPR requirements.
  4. Publish clear security and incident response policies accessible from the website.
  5. Enhance DNS security by enabling DNSSEC and adding CAA records.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Bootstrap and jQuery, indicating a traditional frontend stack suitable for responsive design. Hosting is managed via GoDaddy with domaincontrol.com nameservers. Performance is moderate with a page load time of 3.3 seconds and 14 resources loaded. The site lacks modern security protocols such as TLS 1.2 or 1.3 and does not use HTTPS, which is a significant technical debt. No CMS or backend platform is detected from the HTML content. SEO is basic with meta description and keywords present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags. Accessibility features are minimal but the site is mobile responsive. There is opportunity for modernization by adopting HTTPS, improving performance, and enhancing SEO and accessibility standards.
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.
