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 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

  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
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality

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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention burg-rothenfels.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for burg-rothenfels.de right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

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 targets youth groups, families, school classes, and educational visitors, positioning itself as a regional cultural and educational hospitality provider with over 100 years of history. Its business model focuses on non-profit hospitality and education services, supported by affiliations with Hostelling International and the German Youth Hostel Association. The website supports its mission with detailed program information, contact forms, and downloadable brochures. The technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained, supporting good user experience and accessibility. The organization maintains a moderate digital marketing presence primarily through Facebook and Google Analytics.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration and uses Google Analytics with IP anonymization to protect user privacy. Cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the site lacks visible HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The contact forms appear to be standard without advanced anti-abuse protections visible. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with additional headers and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities and update them accordingly.
  5. Enhance contact form security with CAPTCHA or other anti-abuse mechanisms to prevent spam and abuse.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and widely used content management system, ensuring a stable and maintainable platform. It uses jQuery and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. Accessibility is enhanced with the eyeAble toolbar, indicating attention to inclusive design. The site is hosted on servers indicated by the nameservers from agenturserver domains, suggesting a professional hosting environment. Performance is moderate with compressed CSS and JS assets, and mobile optimization is good. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. Some technical debt is noted in the lack of security headers and absence of modern security policies.
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.
