Security score

78/100

Risk levelLow

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

The Evangelische Hochschule Berlin (EHB) is a specialized higher education institution based in Germany, focusing on practical degree programs in social work, health, nursing, and education. The website serves as an information portal for prospective and current students, offering detailed navigation through academic programs, research, international opportunities, and continuing education. The institution positions itself as a medium-sized university of applied sciences with a clear focus on social and health sectors. Technically, the website is built on the TYPO3 CMS platform, utilizing modern web standards such as HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, although performance is moderate. The absence of advanced analytics or tracking scripts suggests a privacy-conscious approach or limited digital marketing. From a security perspective, the site lacks visible security headers and explicit security or privacy policies, which lowers its security posture. No blocking mechanisms or WAF challenges were detected, indicating open accessibility. The WHOIS data is minimal, with generic DNS servers and no detailed registrant information, which slightly impacts trust but is not uncommon for educational institutions. Overall, the website is professional and functional but would benefit from enhanced transparency in privacy and security policies, improved security headers, and clearer contact information to strengthen trust and compliance.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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';…

  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

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

EHB operates in the education sector, targeting students interested in social work, health, nursing, and education disciplines. Its business model revolves around providing accredited bachelor and master degree programs, research opportunities, and international exchange programs. The institution maintains a moderate market position as a specialized university of applied sciences in Berlin. The website reflects a structured academic environment with a focus on practical and applied learning. There is no evidence of commercial revenue streams such as advertising or affiliate programs. Partnerships or subsidiaries are not explicitly mentioned, and the domain uses generic DNS services. Growth indicators or parent company affiliations are not disclosed.

Security posture

The current security maturity level of the website is moderate to low. While HTTPS is presumably enabled (not explicitly confirmed in the HTML snippet), the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a concern. No explicit privacy policy or terms of service pages were found, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and other regulations. There is no evidence of a published incident response plan or security contact channels. The lack of analytics and tracking scripts reduces privacy risks but also limits insight into user behavior. Overall, the security culture appears basic, with room for improvement in transparency and technical safeguards.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages prominently linked on the website.
  2. Implement standard security headers to protect against common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  4. Conduct a security audit to verify SSL/TLS configuration and enforce HTTPS site-wide.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to enhance trust and incident response readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and widely used content management system, indicating a stable technical foundation. The use of modern HTML5 and CSS ensures compatibility and responsiveness across devices. The site includes accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA attributes, enhancing usability. However, no advanced performance optimization techniques or CDN usage were detected. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. The site’s moderate performance suggests potential for optimization. The absence of analytics and marketing tools indicates a minimalistic approach to data collection. Technical debt appears low but could be improved with enhanced security configurations and clearer metadata for SEO.
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.
