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
8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
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
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"

Business context
Business profile
The platform occupies a niche regional market focused on sustainable and modern wood construction in NRW, Germany. Its competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive service offering that integrates industry networking, project showcases, and knowledge dissemination. The business model appears to be informational and community-driven, possibly supported by public or institutional funding given the government/non-profit sector classification. The target customers include architects, planners, wood construction firms, and public/private building clients. The presence of partner organizations such as Wald und Holz NRW and ProHolz NRW strengthens its ecosystem. The website's content and event listings indicate active engagement with industry developments and stakeholders, supporting growth and relevance in the sector.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism via Borlabs Cookie. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended improvement for DNS security. Security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not explicitly detected and should be implemented to enhance protection against common web attacks. No public incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available, which could be improved to foster transparency and trust. Overall, the site is secure for typical informational use but could benefit from additional hardening measures.
Recommendations
Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
Maintain regular updates of WordPress core, plugins, and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform with Elementor and WooCommerce plugins, indicating a flexible and extensible infrastructure. It uses Google Fonts and Google Maps APIs for enhanced UI and geolocation features. The presence of Vue.js and GSAP TweenMax suggests interactive and animated UI components. Performance is moderate with caching and minification enabled via WP Rocket. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and adaptive image loading. SEO is well addressed through Yoast SEO plugin and structured data (JSON-LD) for rich snippets. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The technical stack is current and well maintained, supporting a professional user experience with room for further optimization in security headers and accessibility.
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.
