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

DABAMOS is an academic research project hosted by Hochschule Neubrandenburg – University of Applied Sciences, focusing on developing advanced deformation monitoring systems integrated with the Internet of Things. The project produces open source software such as DMPACK and OpenADMS to support sensor networks and automated geodetic data processing. The website serves as an information hub for research, software, and monitoring applications, targeting professionals and researchers in geodesy and geotechnics. Technically, the website is built with standard HTML and CSS, with a clean and professional design, good navigation, and mobile optimization. The presence of GitHub links and open source licensing enhances transparency and community engagement. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS usage implied but lacks explicit security headers and published policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is trustworthy and safe, with no signs of malicious or adult content.

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

10 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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
  • 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 project occupies a niche academic and research market focused on deformation monitoring technologies. Its competitive advantage lies in open source software development backed by reputable German academic and governmental institutions. The business model is research and development funded by public research grants, with no direct commercial sales. The target customers are academic researchers, engineers, and geotechnical professionals. The partnership ecosystem includes Hochschule Neubrandenburg and Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM). Growth indicators include ongoing software releases and research updates. The project maintains a focused and consistent digital presence with a clear mission.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS usage but lacks visible security headers and published security policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contacts indicates room for improvement in security governance. GDPR compliance is limited due to missing privacy and cookie policies. The security culture appears nascent, typical for academic projects, with recommendations to formalize security and privacy documentation and enhance technical security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add explicit contact information for security incidents and consider a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet modern standards and improve user experience.
  5. Regularly audit and update software dependencies to avoid vulnerabilities and maintain security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a simple, clean HTML5 and CSS-based front end with no detected CMS or complex frameworks. The technology stack includes Python 3 for backend software (OpenADMS) and GitHub for source code management. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO meta tags present. There is no evidence of heavy JavaScript frameworks or analytics tools, indicating low technical complexity and minimal tracking. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The site could benefit from modern security headers and enhanced accessibility compliance. Overall, the technical implementation supports the academic and research focus effectively with low technical debt.
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.
