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. 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 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';…

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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.

Breach exposure

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention carithek.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for carithek.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

CariThek operates within the non-profit sector, targeting volunteers and community organizations in the Bamberg region. Its business model centers on volunteer facilitation and social project management, supported by Caritas Bamberg. The organization leverages partnerships with local institutions and maintains a presence on social media to engage its audience. Revenue streams likely include donations and grants, as indicated by donation calls on the site. The website's content and structure support user engagement and service delivery, positioning CariThek as a key local player in volunteer coordination and social support services.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and multiple security headers such as Strict-Transport-Security, X-Content-Type-Options, and Content-Security-Policy. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The presence of a cookie consent banner and privacy policy indicates GDPR compliance. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response information, or vulnerability disclosure limits transparency. The use of Matomo analytics suggests a privacy-respecting approach to user tracking. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but could improve by publishing explicit security and incident response policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security frameworks and practices.
  2. Add incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance security headers with additional directives like Referrer-Policy and Permissions-Policy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the alkacon Mercury CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript and SVG for UI elements. It is hosted likely on infrastructure related to the Erzbistum Bamberg, with CDN usage for static assets. Performance is moderate with lazy loading of images and responsive design for mobile devices. Accessibility is well addressed with features such as skip links, ARIA attributes, and an accessibility toolbar. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, canonical links, and structured data in JSON-LD format. Technical risks are minimal, but ongoing maintenance of third-party scripts and security headers is recommended to sustain security and performance.
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.
