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

    • 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, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The organization holds a strong position in the non-profit volunteer service sector in Germany, leveraging partnerships with recognized institutions and government ministries. Their business model focuses on facilitating volunteer placements and information dissemination. The target audience is young adults seeking purposeful engagement post-education. The partnership ecosystem is robust, including Salesianum München and various Don Bosco entities, enhancing credibility and reach. The website supports growth through digital info events and clear calls to action. Revenue streams likely include government funding and donations, typical for non-profits.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and Matomo analytics is used to minimize privacy risks. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The site lacks advanced security headers which could mitigate risks such as clickjacking or XSS. GDPR compliance is partially addressed via a privacy policy but lacks cookie consent and detailed data retention disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR cookie requirements.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization for broader reach and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Ibexa CMS platform, leveraging Bootstrap and FontAwesome for UI components. It uses Matomo for analytics, indicating a focus on privacy. Hosting is provided by Schlundtech, a reputable German hosting provider. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with deferred JavaScript loading and optimized images. No broken links or errors were detected in the provided HTML. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from additional security hardening and SEO improvements.
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.
