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

Bildungswerk der Hessischen Wirtschaft e.V. is a regional educational and training organization based in Germany, primarily serving Hessen and Rheinland-Pfalz. The organization focuses on supporting students, trainees, employees, and companies with vocational training, qualification programs, and inclusion initiatives. It operates through a network of subsidiaries and partner organizations, maintaining a strong regional presence with over 60 locations. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with multilingual support and a clear focus on education and career development. Technically, the website uses a moderate technology stack including jQuery, Swiper.js for UI components, and Piwik/Matomo for privacy-conscious analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience, although some technical improvements could be made such as updating JavaScript libraries and implementing security headers. The website is served over HTTPS with no blocking or WAF interference, ensuring secure access. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates basic good practices such as HTTPS and disabling cookies in analytics, but lacks visible security headers and explicit incident response or security policy disclosures. Privacy compliance is partially met with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Contact information is limited on the homepage, which could impact user trust and support accessibility. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professionally maintained with a strong business credibility score. Strategic improvements in security headers, cookie consent, and contact transparency would enhance compliance and user confidence, supporting the organization's mission in vocational education and inclusion.

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

  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 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

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 strong market position as a key educational service provider in Hessen, Germany, with a broad target audience including students, job seekers, employees, and companies. Its business model centers on vocational training, qualification, and social inclusion, supported by a network of subsidiaries and partnerships. The presence of multiple regional offices and specialized subsidiaries indicates a well-established operational structure. The website's content and linked domains reflect a comprehensive ecosystem of educational and social initiatives, positioning the organization as a trusted regional leader in workforce development and inclusion services.

Security posture

The website's security posture is moderate to good. HTTPS is enforced, and the use of Piwik/Matomo with disabled cookies shows privacy awareness. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security robustness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of published incident response contacts or security policies suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Updating outdated JavaScript libraries and implementing cookie consent mechanisms would further strengthen security and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  3. Publish explicit security and incident response policies with dedicated contact channels.
  4. Update JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to latest secure versions.
  5. Enhance contact information visibility including emails and phone numbers for user support and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom or unknown CMS with a technology stack including jQuery 1.12.4, Swiper.js for sliders, and Piwik/Matomo for analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and has a good design and navigation structure. Performance is moderate with asynchronous and deferred script loading. No major technical debt is evident, but updating legacy libraries and adding modern security headers would improve technical maturity. SEO is basic with meta viewport and robots tags but lacks structured data like JSON-LD or Open Graph tags. Accessibility is basic with some ARIA attributes and language declarations but could be enhanced.
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.
