The institution targets professionals and students in the real estate sector, positioning itself as a leading educational provider in this niche. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS with modern web technologies such as Bootstrap and integrates privacy-conscious analytics (Matomo) and bot protection (FriendlyCaptcha). The site is mobile-optimized and includes accessibility features, demonstrating a mature digital infrastructure. The hosting is managed by a reputable provider with multiple nameservers, ensuring reliability. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR.

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

4 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. 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
  • 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

EBZ operates in the education and real estate sectors, focusing on vocational and higher education for the housing industry. Its business model revolves around providing accredited training programs, consultancy, and research services. The institution benefits from strong partnerships with related educational and research entities, enhancing its market position. The presence of multiple certifications and accreditations supports its credibility. The target customers include students, professionals, and companies in the real estate sector. The website's content and structure indicate a mature organization with a large operational size and a clear focus on quality education and sector-specific expertise.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with enforced HTTPS and GDPR-compliant cookie consent. The use of FriendlyCaptcha adds protection against automated abuse. Analytics are configured to disable cookies by default, respecting user privacy. However, the absence of explicit HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security hardening. No incident response or security contact information is published, which is a gap in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be improved by adopting additional best practices and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance monitoring and logging to detect and respond to security incidents promptly.

The hosting environment is supported by multiple nameservers from netzfactor GmbH, indicating a professional hosting setup.

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.
