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

The website ekiba-leicht.de is operated by the Evangelische Landeskirche in Baden, a regional religious institution in Germany focused on providing accessible information in easy German language. The site targets individuals with language or cognitive challenges, promoting inclusion and accessibility in church-related content and community work. The business model is non-profit and government-related, with a medium organizational size and a clear focus on accessibility services. Technically, the website uses Edith CMS hosted on w-commerce.de infrastructure, leveraging jQuery, Matomo analytics, and Bootstrap-like responsive design. The site is moderately performant, mobile-optimized, and accessible, with good SEO practices. However, it lacks explicit cookie consent mechanisms and some security headers, which are areas for improvement. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and email obfuscation implemented, but the absence of security policies and incident response contacts limits transparency. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected. The domain WHOIS data aligns well with the organization's identity, supporting legitimacy. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and serves its target audience effectively. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and security transparency would enhance its posture and user trust.

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 Evangelische Landeskirche in Baden holds a stable position as a regional religious and non-profit organization emphasizing accessibility and inclusion. Its competitive advantage lies in providing easy language content compliant with UN disability rights conventions. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on community support and information dissemination rather than commercial revenue. The target customers include people with disabilities, church members, and community workers. The organization maintains partnerships with ekiba.de and social media platforms to extend its reach. Growth indicators include digital presence and content quality improvements. The partnership ecosystem includes w-commerce.de for hosting and CMS services.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and email obfuscation to protect contact information. The use of Matomo analytics with cookies disabled by default shows privacy awareness. However, the lack of explicit cookie consent banners, security headers like Content-Security-Policy, and published security policies or incident response contacts indicates gaps in compliance and transparency. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The site would benefit from formalizing security policies and enhancing user privacy controls to align with GDPR and NIS2 requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a clear cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve security posture.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to increase transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and user data rights.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Edith CMS and uses a combination of jQuery, jQuery UI, and Matomo analytics for functionality and tracking. The hosting provider appears to be w-commerce.de, which supports the CMS and related services. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with responsive design elements and ARIA landmarks. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from additional security hardening and privacy features. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected.
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.
