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

9 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: SMB

      Port 445 (SMB) is publicly accessible - SMB - Windows file sharing, high risk

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to SMB using firewall or VPN

      • 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
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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 CDU Mecklenburg-Vorpommern website positions itself as a key regional political platform, offering services such as membership enrollment, event information, and political program dissemination. Its business model is non-profit and focused on political engagement and communication. The site leverages modern web technologies and analytics tools to optimize user experience and outreach. The presence of a podcast and active news section indicates ongoing content generation and audience engagement. The lack of explicit terms of service and security policies suggests areas for improvement in transparency. The website's partnership ecosystem is limited to standard service providers like Google and hosting providers, with no detected commercial partnerships or subsidiaries. Growth indicators include active content updates and integration of social media and podcasting tools.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA for bot mitigation. The GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism is well implemented, reflecting awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for enhancement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were found in the source code. Incident response and security policies are not publicly documented, which could impact readiness and transparency. Overall, the site maintains a good baseline security level appropriate for a political organization but would benefit from formalizing and publishing security governance documents.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and stakeholders.
  3. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to patch vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with standards and user experience.
  5. Consider adding a terms of service page to clarify user rights and obligations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform with the Divi theme, supported by plugins for membership management, podcasting, and cookie consent. It uses jQuery and integrates Google services such as Analytics and reCAPTCHA. The hosting provider is inferred from nameservers as kasserver.com, a reputable German hosting company. Performance is moderate with preloading of scripts and styles, and mobile optimization is good with responsive design and mobile menu toggles. SEO is enhanced by Rank Math PRO plugin and structured data in JSON-LD format. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected in the source. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid and supports the business needs effectively.
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.
