Technically, the site employs a modern and responsive design using Bootstrap and Font Awesome, with analytics powered by Piwik/Matomo. Hosting is provided by Schlund Technologies, a reputable provider. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, although some security headers are not explicitly detected.

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. 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

  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

      • 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

Ekibarecht.de operates as a specialized government/non-profit sector portal for church law in Baden, Germany. Its business model is informational and non-commercial, focusing on providing legal documentation and resources to a defined audience within the church community. The site benefits from strong branding consistency and trust signals due to its official affiliation. It does not engage in advertising or affiliate marketing, maintaining a focused service offering. The partnership ecosystem includes related church domains and an analytics provider. Growth indicators are not explicit but the comprehensive content and structured presentation suggest a mature and stable service. Competitive advantages include official backing, comprehensive legal content, and multiple access formats (web and e-book). The target customer segment is niche but well-defined, including church officials and legal experts. Strategic observations suggest maintaining and enhancing security and privacy transparency could further solidify trust and compliance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism in place. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others that could mitigate common web vulnerabilities. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. No vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file is present, which is a gap in responsible disclosure practices. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The use of Piwik/Matomo analytics indicates some level of privacy-conscious tracking. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an informational site but could be improved by adopting best practices in security headers, publishing security policies, and establishing clear incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Create and maintain a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Review and document data retention policies related to analytics and user data to strengthen privacy compliance.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to avoid vulnerabilities and ensure secure operation.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with Bootstrap for responsive design and Font Awesome for icons. The presence of Piwik/Matomo analytics indicates a preference for privacy-respecting analytics solutions. Hosting is managed by Schlund Technologies, a known provider, suggesting reliable infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, likely due to the comprehensive content and use of multiple CSS files. There is no detected CMS, implying a custom or static site architecture. Technical risks include the absence of some security headers and lack of visible security policies, which could be addressed to reduce potential attack surfaces and improve compliance.
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.
