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

The website www.ehrenamt-osl.de serves as an official regional government portal for the Landkreis Oberspreewald-Lausitz, focusing on promoting and supporting volunteer engagement. It is part of a federal project coordinated by the German Ministry of Food and Agriculture and the German County Association. The site provides information on funding, events, associations, and news related to volunteer activities in the region. The target audience includes local citizens, volunteers, and community organizations. The business model is informational and supportive, typical for government initiatives. Technically, the site uses a German CMS platform (Verwaltungsportal), with common web technologies such as jQuery, Nivo Slider, and Material Design Lite. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices, with basic accessibility features. Cookie consent is implemented with granular user control, reflecting good privacy compliance. No advanced analytics or advertising networks are detected. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS (assumed from domain and standard practice), but no explicit security headers were detected in the HTML content. Cookie management and CAPTCHA usage indicate some security awareness. However, no formal security policy or incident response contacts are published. The WHOIS data is minimal but consistent with a legitimate German government domain. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and serves its purpose well. Recommendations include enhancing security headers, improving mobile optimization, and publishing explicit security and incident response policies 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

6 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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 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';…

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.

Add-on

Leaked records that mention ehrenamt-osl.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for ehrenamt-osl.de right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

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 represents a government-backed initiative to strengthen volunteer engagement in a specific German county. It leverages partnerships with local organizations and funding initiatives. The business model is non-commercial, focusing on community support and information dissemination. The site’s market position is regional and specialized, with a clear focus on public service. Growth indicators include ongoing project updates and event announcements. The partnership ecosystem includes local sports, fire brigade, and cultural organizations, as well as federal funding bodies. The site’s operations are transparent with clear contact points and no commercial distractions.

Security posture

The security posture is moderate. The site uses cookie consent with detailed categories and user control, indicating GDPR compliance. CAPTCHA is used to mitigate automated abuse. However, the absence of visible security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) and no published security or incident response policies are gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site would benefit from formalizing security policies and improving technical security controls. Incident response readiness is unclear due to lack of published contacts. Overall, the site is low risk but could improve security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Enhance mobile responsiveness and accessibility to improve user experience across devices.
  4. Regularly update and audit third-party libraries and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider integrating privacy-friendly analytics to better understand user engagement while maintaining GDPR compliance.

Performance is moderate with some optimization opportunities, especially for mobile devices. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph tags included. No advanced analytics or tracking scripts were detected. Hosting appears to be German-based DNS providers. The site uses standard HTML5 and CSS with no critical errors visible in the content provided.
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.
