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 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

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

CariNet's market position is focused on providing digital infrastructure and tools to the Caritas organization and its affiliates, a well-established non-profit network in Germany. Its business model revolves around service provision and platform management rather than direct commercial sales. Key revenue streams likely include service subscriptions or licensing for CMS and data pool access. The target customers are Caritas entities and social service providers requiring digital tools for communication, job placement, and data management. The website demonstrates strategic partnerships with Caritas Deutschland and Caritas International, enhancing credibility and reach. Growth indicators include ongoing eLearning offerings and support for accessibility compliance. The partnership ecosystem is strong within the non-profit sector, with no indication of commercial advertising or unrelated partnerships.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS via a Sectigo SSL certificate and a visible cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which could limit transparency and responsiveness to security events. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the content. Forms appear secure with no visible injection points. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by implementing additional HTTP security headers and publishing formal security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance security posture.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance contact information availability by providing verified company emails and phone numbers for support and security.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and frameworks to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of AngularJS and jQuery libraries, along with Slick Carousel for UI components and Klaro for cookie consent management. The CMS platform is CariNet CMS 3.0, tailored for the Caritas network. The site loads resources primarily from a dedicated CDN (cdn3.carinet.de), improving performance. The design is responsive and accessible, with SEO best practices evident in meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with some room for optimization. The technical infrastructure appears stable and modern, though some legacy support scripts for older IE versions are present. No major technical debt or critical risks were identified, but updating AngularJS to a more current framework version could be considered for long-term maintenance.
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.
