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

The website berufssprachkurse-mainz.info represents a vocational language course offering operated by Arbeit und Leben gGmbH under commission from the German Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF). The courses target migrants and individuals seeking to improve their German language skills for professional integration and recognition, particularly in healthcare professions. The site is hosted on WordPress.com and uses standard WordPress technologies with Jetpack and other common plugins. The content is professionally presented with relevant images and course descriptions, targeting a German-speaking audience. Technically, the site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and uses HTTPS, but lacks some advanced security headers and a visible privacy policy page. No contact emails or phone numbers are directly provided on the main pages, which slightly reduces transparency. The WHOIS data is privacy protected by Identity Digital Inc., which is common and justified for this type of non-profit educational site. Overall, the site is legitimate, secure, and serves its educational purpose effectively.

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 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • 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

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 business operates in the education and non-profit sectors, focusing on language integration for migrants in Germany. It benefits from government funding (BAMF) and has a stable market position as a vocational language course provider in Mainz since 2016. The business model is service-oriented, offering both general and profession-specific language courses. The target customers are migrants, EU citizens, and German residents with migration backgrounds needing language skills for employment or professional recognition. The website reflects a medium-sized organization with moderate branding consistency and good content quality. Partnerships with BAMF and use of WordPress.com hosting indicate a reliable operational ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is enforced, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, which could be improved. The site uses standard WordPress plugins and themes, which should be regularly updated to mitigate risks. Cookie consent is implemented, indicating some privacy compliance. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the site's purpose but could be enhanced with additional headers and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy page to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general inquiries and security incidents.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Maintain regular updates of WordPress core, themes, and plugins to reduce vulnerability exposure.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS hosted on WordPress.com, leveraging Jetpack and common JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Swiper.js. The HTML is valid and includes responsive design elements for mobile optimization. Performance is moderate, with optimized images and CSS minification. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph tags present but no structured JSON-LD data detected. Accessibility is basic with some screen-reader text and skip links. The site uses HTTPS with a valid certificate. No advanced caching or CDN details are visible, but WordPress.com hosting likely provides standard performance optimizations. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small to medium non-profit educational website.
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.
