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

7 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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 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 Content-Security-Policy header

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.

Breach exposure

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention bdvt-akademie.de, from OffSeq Breach.

Technical appendix

Business context

Business profile

The BDVT Akademie holds a strong market position in the education sector, focusing on coaching and training professionals. Its business model revolves around providing licensed educational programs and certifications, supported by a network of partner institutes. The presence of well-known partners like Haufe Akademie and Fraunhofer Academy enhances its credibility and reach. The Akademie targets professionals seeking to enhance their expertise and credentials, leveraging a trusted brand and quality assurance through certifications. Growth potential is supported by its established network and comprehensive program offerings.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS implied but not explicitly confirmed in the provided data. Security best practices such as consent-based tracking and no visible sensitive data exposure are observed. However, the absence of explicit security headers and incident response information indicates room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or malicious indicators were detected. The site would benefit from enhanced security policies and transparency regarding incident handling.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including Content Security Policy and HSTS.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  3. Ensure HTTPS is enforced with strong SSL/TLS configuration and regularly audited.
  4. Add explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers for better user trust and compliance.
  5. Consider adding a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by Weblication CMS, a professional German content management system, indicating a stable and maintainable infrastructure. It uses modern tracking technologies with user consent, and the design is responsive and accessible. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization. The site structure and metadata are well implemented, supporting SEO and user navigation. However, the lack of visible security headers and explicit SSL details suggests technical improvements are needed to enhance security and compliance posture.
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.
