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

3 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 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

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 organization holds a stable market position as a recognized environmental NGO in Rheinland-Pfalz, focusing on climate protection, sustainable agriculture, and species conservation. Their business model revolves around advocacy, education, and community involvement supported by memberships and donations. The website links to partner domains handling donations and memberships, indicating a structured operational ecosystem. Growth indicators include active content updates, events, and publications. The organization leverages social media effectively to engage its audience. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance transparency around security and compliance to further build trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a compliance gap. Security headers were not explicitly identified in the HTML content, suggesting potential for enhancement. The use of Matomo analytics indicates a preference for privacy-friendly tracking. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by formalizing policies and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Add standard security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Continue to maintain and update privacy and cookie compliance mechanisms to align with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust open-source content management system, indicating a solid technical foundation. It uses modern JavaScript libraries such as slick slider for UI components and tarteaucitron.js for cookie consent management. Analytics are handled via Matomo, reflecting a privacy-conscious approach. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with compressed CSS and JS assets. No hosting provider details were found, but DNS name servers are stable and consistent. Technical risks are minimal, with opportunities to improve security headers and formalize security documentation.
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.
