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

The Azubi-Projekte website represents a well-established non-profit initiative by the Förderverein für regionale Entwicklung e.V., focused on providing free website creation services to various community and educational organizations while supporting practical training for apprentices. The organization has a clear regional focus in Germany and targets a broad audience including municipalities, schools, social institutions, and small businesses. The website content is professionally presented, with clear navigation and relevant information about participation and program benefits. Technically, the site employs a proprietary CMS platform with common JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Material Design Lite, and Slick Carousel, ensuring a modern and responsive user experience. The site includes a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements, and contact information is prominently displayed. However, no explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published. From a security perspective, the site uses session management and captcha mechanisms to mitigate abuse, but lacks visible HTTP security headers and published security frameworks. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected. The domain registration data is consistent with the business claims, supporting legitimacy. Overall, the website scores well in content quality, technical implementation, privacy compliance, and business credibility, with recommendations to enhance security headers and publish formal security policies to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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

4 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

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

Azubi-Projekte operates as a small-sized non-profit entity with a niche focus on regional development and vocational training support. Its competitive advantage lies in offering free web development services through apprenticeships, fostering practical skills while serving community partners. The business model relies on volunteer or subsidized efforts by the Förderverein für regionale Entwicklung e.V., with a stable partnership ecosystem including related Förderprogramme and local institutions. Growth indicators include over 11 years of continuous operation and a diverse target audience spanning public, private, and social sectors. The organization maintains a professional online presence with testimonials and partner endorsements, positioning itself as a trusted regional facilitator for digital inclusion and vocational education.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with basic protections such as cookie consent, session cookies, and captcha for unusual activity. However, it lacks advanced security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) and does not publish explicit security or incident response policies, which could limit transparency and preparedness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. GDPR compliance is well addressed through privacy and cookie policies. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file suggests room for improvement in vulnerability management and incident communication. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit informational site but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance user trust by adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  5. Continue maintaining comprehensive privacy and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR and update them as regulations evolve.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a proprietary CMS platform (verwaltungsportal) and leverages modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery, Material Design Lite, Slick Carousel, and Parallax.js to deliver a responsive and interactive user experience. The site loads multiple external CSS and JS resources from trusted domains, indicating a modular and maintainable architecture. Performance is moderate with no evident blocking or errors, and mobile optimization is good with dedicated alternate mobile views. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels are present, supporting usability. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph properties. Hosting appears to be managed via domaincontrol.com DNS services, a common registrar provider. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small non-profit website but could be enhanced with additional security headers and performance optimizations.
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.
