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

6 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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 program operates as a government-backed initiative targeting companies in NRW to support employees with caregiving duties, thereby aiding workforce retention and social responsibility. Its business model is non-commercial, focusing on education, resource provision, and networking. The presence of partner organizations like AOK health insurers and the Kuratorium Deutsche Altershilfe enhances credibility. The website's content and references to participating companies indicate a well-established ecosystem with a focus on medium to large enterprises. The program's growth is evidenced by recent updates and active social media engagement. Revenue streams are likely public funding and partnerships rather than direct sales. The target customers are HR departments and company leadership in NRW. The program's competitive advantage lies in its official backing, comprehensive resources, and qualification offerings. The partnership ecosystem includes health insurers and educational institutions, supporting a robust service delivery.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms. The absence of security headers like Content Security Policy or X-Frame-Options is a minor gap. No exposed credentials or vulnerable libraries were detected. The use of Matomo analytics respects privacy better than many alternatives. However, the lack of explicit incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure policies limits transparency in security management. The site collects personal data via contact forms with privacy notices, indicating GDPR awareness. Compliance with GDPR is evident, but further enhancements could include publishing a security policy and incident response procedures. Regular audits of third-party scripts and plugins are recommended to maintain security integrity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Conduct regular security audits of third-party plugins and scripts to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

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.
