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

7 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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: 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
  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"

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 Stiftung für Mensch und Umwelt operates Deutschland summt! as a flagship initiative focused on biodiversity and pollinator protection in Germany. The business model is non-profit, relying on donations, sponsorships, and community participation. The initiative has a strong market position within environmental NGOs, supported by multiple UN biodiversity awards and a network of over 30 municipalities. Revenue streams include donations, sponsorships, and sales via an official shop. The target audience includes environmentally conscious citizens, educators, municipalities, and gardening enthusiasts. The organization demonstrates growth through expanding events, educational offerings, and digital engagement. Partnerships with regional initiatives and aligned organizations strengthen its ecosystem. The website content and structure support transparency, community involvement, and educational outreach, reinforcing its credibility and impact.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and includes essential security measures such as CSRF protection cookies and a cookie consent banner. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not clearly present and should be implemented to enhance protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks a published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy, which could improve security transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is solid for a non-profit website but can be improved with additional headers and formal security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish an incident response plan and provide a dedicated security contact email or page.
  3. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by detailing data retention policies and cookie usage in the privacy documentation.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Contao Open Source CMS, utilizing modern front-end libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap Grid, FontAwesome, and Swiper.js for interactive elements and responsive design. Hosting is managed via kasserver.com nameservers, indicating a professional hosting environment. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and accessibility features, including skip navigation links and ARIA attributes. SEO is supported by meta descriptions, structured navigation, and sitemap availability. Performance is moderate, with optimized images and lazy loading in place. The use of Google Tag Manager and Google Ads scripts indicates integrated marketing and analytics capabilities. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained, suitable for the organization's scale and mission.
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.
