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

The website www.baumeister-online.de represents the Bund Deutscher Baumeister, a professional association for architects, engineers, and builders in Germany. It serves as an information and service platform targeting professionals in the construction and architecture sectors. The site positions itself as a reputable and established entity within the German real estate and construction industry, offering member services and industry representation. The content is primarily in German and is professionally presented with consistent branding and good content quality. Technically, the website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 with the Yoast SEO plugin, hosted on Amazon AWS infrastructure. It employs modern web technologies including Cookiebot for cookie consent management and Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, contributing to a positive user experience. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and integrates a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism with granular user controls, reflecting strong privacy compliance aligned with GDPR. However, there is room for improvement in implementing security headers and publishing explicit security policies or incident response contacts. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected in the analysis. Overall, the website exhibits a solid security posture, good privacy compliance, and professional business credibility. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and adding vulnerability disclosure information 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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…
  2. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048
  3. 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

The Bund Deutscher Baumeister operates as a professional association within the German real estate and construction sector, targeting architects, engineers, and builders. Its business model focuses on providing information, member services, and industry advocacy. The organization maintains a medium-sized presence with consistent branding and a clear market position as a reputable industry body. The website's integration with social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter supports its outreach and engagement strategy. The use of AWS hosting and modern CMS technologies indicates a commitment to digital maturity. No direct revenue streams or parent/subsidiary relationships were identified from the available data.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of Google reCAPTCHA, and a detailed cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. The absence of security headers is a noted gap, as is the lack of publicly available security policies or incident response contacts. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The site does not currently publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file, which could enhance transparency and trust. Overall, the security practices are sound but could benefit from formalizing policies and improving header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance transparency by providing contact details for the Data Protection Officer or privacy team.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform with Yoast SEO for optimization and Cookiebot for privacy compliance. Hosting on AWS provides reliable infrastructure. The site includes Google reCAPTCHA for bot mitigation and uses local storage and cookies for analytics and user preferences. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and accessibility features. The technical implementation supports a professional and user-friendly experience but could be improved by adding security headers and optimizing third-party script management to reduce potential risks.
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.
