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

creedle.de is a German-based digital platform focused on creating a Christian digital ecosystem called creedle. The platform aims to make Jesus digitally visible by connecting Christians, churches, and seekers through multiple applications (creedlec) integrated into a central search engine. The project started in 2022 with a roadmap to complete the first system version by 2027. The business is positioned as a niche technology provider in the Christian digital content space, supported by arvenio marketing GmbH and partnerships with organizations like the Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Avada theme and Fusion Builder, with modern plugins for multilingual support and cookie consent. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and security headers, though privacy and incident response policies are missing. Overall, the site is professional, well-branded, and trustworthy, but could improve compliance documentation and explicit contact information.

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. 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)
      • 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

  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
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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 business operates a digital ecosystem offering various applications such as rockc (Jesus FAQs), mediac (media sharing), mapc (community finder), commerc (Christian product marketplace), sharec (social sharing), wordc (Bible linkage), and mycreedle (personalized user accounts). The model focuses on content aggregation, community connection, and commerce within the Christian niche. Revenue streams likely include partnerships, product sales, and possibly donations. The target audience includes Christians, churches, and seekers of Christian content. The company shows growth potential with a clear roadmap and multiple live applications. Partnerships with established organizations enhance credibility and market reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of key security headers, and a cookie consent mechanism. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, and vulnerability disclosure policy indicates room for improvement in formal security governance. Google Analytics is included but currently disabled, reducing privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing formal policies and contact channels for security incidents.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing GDPR compliance and data handling.
  2. Add terms of service and security policy pages to improve transparency and compliance.
  3. Implement and publish an incident response plan with clear contact channels for security issues.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with the Avada theme and Fusion Builder, providing a flexible and responsive design. It integrates multiple plugins for multilingual support (WPML), cookie management (Borlabs Cookie), and social media feeds. The site loads moderate resources including fonts and scripts, with some preloading for performance. Google Analytics is present but disabled, indicating privacy-conscious configuration. Hosting is via kasserver.com as indicated by nameservers. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with structured data (JSON-LD) and meta tags. Technical risks are low, but ongoing monitoring of plugin updates and security patches is recommended to avoid vulnerabilities.
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.
