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

The Zentralverband der Deutschen Elektro- und Informationstechnischen Handwerke (ZVEH) operates the website dmh-eh.de to promote and organize the Deutsche Meisterschaften der E-Handwerke, a national competition for electrical trade apprentices and professionals. The site serves as an information hub for participants, sponsors, and the general public interested in the electrical trade sector in Germany. It is well-positioned as a central association with a clear focus on vocational excellence and youth development in the energy sector. Technically, the website uses a TYPO3 CMS platform hosted on rzone.de servers, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and a consent management platform (Usercentrics) to comply with GDPR. The site integrates Google Tag Manager and TikTok analytics for tracking, with a moderate level of user tracking balanced by explicit consent mechanisms. The site is mobile-optimized and presents good SEO and accessibility basics. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses consent management for privacy compliance. However, it lacks explicit security headers and published security policies or incident response contacts, which could be improved to enhance trust and resilience. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with privacy regulations, serving its audience effectively. Strategic improvements in security policy transparency and technical security headers would further strengthen its posture.

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

  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
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL 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 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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

ZVEH holds a strong market position as the central association for the German electrical and information technology trades, focusing on vocational competitions and youth development. Its business model is non-profit and association-based, targeting apprentices, journeymen, and trade professionals. The organization leverages partnerships with related domains such as zveh.de and mein-ehandwerk.de to extend its reach. The website content and structure support its mission to promote excellence and career development in the energy sector. Growth indicators include active event organization and digital presence with social media engagement. The partnership ecosystem is well integrated with official trade and educational platforms.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS and GDPR-compliant consent management. The absence of explicit security headers and incident response information indicates room for improvement in security governance and transparency. No critical vulnerabilities or data exposures were found, and tracking is consent-based. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file suggests limited formalized security communication channels. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could benefit from enhanced policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options to harden the website against common attacks.
  2. Create and publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Develop a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking pixels to ensure compliance with privacy regulations and minimize tracking risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security assessments to maintain and improve the website's security and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, hosted on rzone.de infrastructure, and uses modern JavaScript libraries including Usercentrics for consent management, Google Tag Manager, and TikTok analytics. The site loads CSS and JS assets efficiently with preconnect and preload hints, indicating attention to performance. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO meta tags are properly configured. However, no advanced frameworks or platforms beyond TYPO3 and standard JS libraries are detected. The site could improve by adding security headers and expanding accessibility features. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable and suitable for the organization's needs.
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.
