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

The website diefairesieben.de serves as a campaign platform advocating for the fair taxation of leisure and amusement parks in Germany, specifically pushing for the application of a reduced VAT rate of 7% on admission fees. It is operated by or closely associated with the Verband Deutscher Freizeitparks und Freizeitunternehmen e.V. (VDFU), a non-profit organization representing the interests of German leisure parks. The site targets political stakeholders, leisure park operators, regional authorities, and the general public to raise awareness and support for tax reform. The content is well-structured, professionally presented, and consistent with the campaign's goals. Technically, the site is built on TYPO3 CMS, hosted via DomainControl nameservers, and uses modern web technologies including asynchronous Google Analytics tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and SEO practices. However, it lacks a cookie consent mechanism and explicit security or incident response policies, which are notable compliance gaps. The WHOIS data is minimal but does not indicate privacy protection or suspicious registration patterns, supporting the domain's legitimacy. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. Security headers are not explicitly detected, and no vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files are present. The site employs Google Analytics for user tracking at a moderate level, with basic privacy compliance. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved with enhanced headers and transparency. The overall risk assessment is moderate with no critical issues detected. Strategic recommendations include implementing cookie consent, publishing security and incident response policies, enhancing security headers, and improving GDPR compliance. These steps would strengthen trust and compliance while maintaining the site's advocacy mission.

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

8 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 campaign is positioned as a key advocate for tax fairness in the German leisure park sector, addressing a niche but economically significant market. Its competitive advantage lies in its focused political lobbying and regional engagement, supported by testimonials from local politicians and stakeholders. The business model is non-profit advocacy, relying on public and political support rather than commercial revenue streams. The target customers include policymakers, park operators, and the public. Growth indicators include active social media presence and multimedia content. Partnerships with the VDFU and related organizations enhance credibility and outreach. The campaign's operations are transparent and aligned with its mission, though expansion into broader digital compliance would benefit its ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data leaks. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of a published security policy or incident response contact reduce its security posture. The use of Google Analytics introduces moderate user tracking, which is not fully mitigated by cookie consent mechanisms. GDPR compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie banner. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected. The site would benefit from formalizing vulnerability disclosure processes and enhancing transparency around data protection and incident handling to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with GDPR.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and extensible content management system, indicating a stable technical foundation. The hosting via DomainControl nameservers suggests use of a commercial hosting provider, likely GoDaddy. The site uses modern front-end technologies including CSS and JavaScript with asynchronous loading of Google Analytics scripts, supporting good performance and user experience. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO meta tags are properly configured. However, the site lacks advanced accessibility features and some security best practices such as security headers. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement through optimization of assets and enhanced caching strategies. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization in security and privacy controls.
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.
