The Deutsch-Polnisches Jugendwerk (DPJW) is a well-established non-profit organization dedicated to fostering German-Polish youth cooperation through funding, training, and cultural exchange projects. The website serves as a comprehensive portal for project applications, partner searches, publications, and educational resources targeting youth organizations, schools, and project leaders. The organization enjoys a strong market position with a domain age dating back to 1998, reflecting its longstanding presence and credibility in the bilateral youth cooperation sector. Technically, the website is built on a modern WordPress CMS with a robust tech stack including Yoast SEO, Matomo analytics, and accessibility features. The site is mobile-optimized and demonstrates good SEO and accessibility practices. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, although improvements such as enabling DNSSEC and adding security headers could enhance protection. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected. Privacy compliance is strong, with a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent aligned with GDPR requirements. Contact information is primarily provided via physical addresses and contact forms, with social media channels actively linked. However, explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not present.

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. 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
  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"

      • 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';…
  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

DPJW operates as a key bilateral youth cooperation entity between Germany and Poland, focusing on non-profit educational and cultural exchange initiatives. Its business model revolves around providing funding and support services to youth projects, training, and seminars. The organization targets youth groups, schools, and project organizers, leveraging partnerships with related portals and platforms. The website content and structure indicate a mature digital presence with multilingual support and active social media engagement. The organization's market position is stable, supported by a long domain history and consistent branding. Revenue streams likely include governmental or institutional funding, grants, and donations. The partnership ecosystem includes several related domains and project portals enhancing its outreach and service delivery.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism that respects user privacy. The use of Matomo analytics with disabled cookies indicates a privacy-conscious approach. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents areas for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced DNS security and formalized security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS integrity and prevent spoofing attacks.
  2. Implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  4. Maintain regular updates of WordPress core and plugins to minimize vulnerabilities.
  5. Continue to monitor and optimize privacy compliance, especially regarding data retention and user consent management.

The site uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO and social media integration, enhancing discoverability and content clarity.
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.
