Dikoju is a German research project focused on advancing digital competencies within child and youth welfare services. It is a collaborative initiative between the Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Kinder- und Jugendhilfe (AGJ) and the University of Cologne, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. The project conducts empirical studies and develops qualification modules to support professionals in the digital transformation of social services. The website reflects a professional and well-structured digital presence with clear information about the project, partners, advisory board, and funding sources. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins such as Yoast SEO and Contact Form 7, ensuring good SEO and user interaction capabilities. The site is hosted on German servers and employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration, contributing to a secure user experience. Mobile optimization and accessibility are well addressed, although some security headers are missing, which could be improved. From a security perspective, the site shows good practices such as HTTPS enforcement and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are recommended for enhanced trust and compliance. Privacy compliance is adequate with a privacy and cookie policy present, though no explicit cookie consent mechanism is detected. Overall, Dikoju presents a trustworthy and professional online presence suitable for its research and educational mission. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security and incident response policies, and implementing cookie consent mechanisms to improve compliance and user trust.

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.

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

  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"

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

Business profile

Dikoju operates as a specialized research project within the education and social welfare sectors, targeting professionals involved in child and youth welfare. Its competitive advantage lies in its strong academic partnership with the University of Cologne and practical integration via the AGJ. The project is government-funded, indicating stable revenue streams from public grants. The target customer segments include social workers, educators, and policymakers engaged in digital transformation. The partnership ecosystem includes reputable academic and governmental institutions, enhancing credibility and outreach. The project’s focus on empirical research and qualification development positions it well for influence in policy and practice within its niche. Growth indicators include ongoing funding and planned activities extending into 2025. The website supports these operations with clear communication and contact channels.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented with excellent SSL configuration, ensuring encrypted communications. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options are detected, representing an area for improvement. The absence of exposed sensitive data and use of secure contact forms are positive indicators. However, the lack of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure reduces transparency and preparedness. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by the presence of privacy and cookie policies, though no explicit cookie consent mechanism is present. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a research project website but could be strengthened by adopting additional security best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy control.
  4. Regularly audit and update plugins and dependencies to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, leveraging popular plugins such as Yoast SEO for search engine optimization and Contact Form 7 for user communication. The use of modern JavaScript modules and CSS indicates a contemporary front-end approach. Hosting is provided by rzone.de, a German hosting provider, aligning with the website’s geographic focus. Performance is moderate, with lazy loading images and responsive design supporting good mobile usability. Accessibility features appear adequate, with semantic HTML and ARIA roles implied. SEO is well addressed through meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD schema. Technical risks are minimal but include missing security headers and absence of advanced security policies. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the project’s goals effectively with room for security enhancements.
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.
