The website 'Ehrenamt Evangelisch Engagiert' serves as an informational and community platform supporting voluntary engagement within the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria. It provides news, resources, and coordination services for volunteers and church members, positioning itself as a niche non-profit entity focused on church-related volunteerism. The site is professionally designed with consistent branding and clear navigation, targeting German-speaking church volunteers and coordinators. Technically, the site is built on TYPO3 CMS with modern JavaScript libraries such as Leaflet for maps and Matomo for privacy-conscious analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, with basic accessibility features. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and minimal cookies used, although security headers are not explicitly detected. Privacy compliance is good, with a clear cookie banner and privacy policy in German. No critical vulnerabilities or blocking mechanisms were detected. The WHOIS data aligns with the website's organizational claims, showing consistent domain registration and DNS management.

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. 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 website operates within the non-profit sector, specifically serving the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria. It focuses on volunteer engagement, offering coordination, training, awards, and informational content. The business model is service-oriented, supported by the church institution. Market positioning is niche and regional, targeting church volunteers and coordinators. The site benefits from official church affiliation, enhancing trust and credibility. Revenue streams are likely church-funded or grant-supported, with no commercial advertising detected. The partnership ecosystem includes the broader ELKB network and related church bodies. Growth indicators include ongoing updates and active volunteer programs. Strategic observations suggest maintaining strong community ties and expanding digital engagement tools could enhance impact.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and minimal cookie usage respecting user consent. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options indicates room for improvement. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which could be enhanced to improve security culture and readiness. Compliance with GDPR is evident through the privacy policy and cookie banner. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit informational site but could benefit from implementing additional HTTP security headers and publishing a security.txt file.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy or vulnerability disclosure page (security.txt) to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and CMS extensions to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards for users with disabilities.
  5. Consider expanding social media presence and interactive features to increase volunteer engagement and community reach.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and extensible content management system widely used in the German-speaking region. It uses Leaflet.js for interactive maps and Matomo for privacy-focused analytics, indicating a preference for open-source and privacy-respecting technologies. The site loads additional JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Parsley for form validation. Performance is moderate with no major blocking scripts detected. Mobile optimization is good, supported by responsive CSS and viewport meta tags. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured breadcrumb navigation. Technical risks are low but could be further reduced by implementing modern security headers and ensuring all third-party scripts are up to date.
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.
