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

    • 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. 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"

  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
  • 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 organization is a large non-profit religious entity focused on serving the Evangelische Landeskirche community in Baden. Its business model centers on information dissemination, community support, and social engagement rather than commercial activities. The website's extensive navigation and content structure indicate a well-established presence with partnerships to related church and social organizations. The use of professional hosting and CMS platforms supports operational stability. The lack of commercial advertising and affiliate programs aligns with its non-profit status. Growth indicators include active content updates and integration with social media channels like Instagram. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance transparency by publishing security and incident response policies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and privacy-respecting analytics via Matomo. Security headers are likely present though not explicitly confirmed. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a compliance gap. The cookie consent mechanism aligns with GDPR requirements, but further improvements could include explicit Content Security Policy headers and a dedicated security contact. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the organization's risk profile but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Implement and publicly disclose a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers, including explicit Content Security Policy (CSP).
  5. Provide clear and dedicated contact information for security incidents and data protection inquiries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Edith CMS with a technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, and Matomo analytics. The infrastructure is hosted on servers indicated by the nameservers erbserver.de and erbmedien.de, suggesting professional hosting arrangements. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The site uses modern meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO benefits. The presence of a cookie consent mechanism and privacy-focused analytics indicates attention to privacy compliance. Technical risks are minimal, but modernization opportunities include updating JavaScript libraries and enhancing security headers. Overall, the technical implementation supports the organization's operational needs effectively.
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.
