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

The Landesinnungsverband für das Bayerische Elektrohandwerk is a regional trade association representing the Bavarian electrical craft sector. It provides member services including training, certification (E-Marke), public relations, and a platform for news and events. The website targets professionals, trainees, and stakeholders in the electrical industry within Bavaria, positioning itself as an authoritative and trusted organization in this niche. Technically, the site is built on TYPO3 CMS, employs modern JavaScript libraries, and integrates a consent management platform (Usercentrics) alongside analytics tools such as Google Analytics and TikTok Pixel. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, reflecting a moderate to good digital maturity. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and privacy compliance mechanisms in place; however, there is room for improvement in publishing explicit security policies and implementing additional HTTP security headers. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the website content, indicating legitimacy and consistency. The site is free from blocking mechanisms or WAF challenges, enabling full content accessibility.

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.

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 · found on this site
  • 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 association operates as an essential entity within the energy sector, specifically focusing on electrical trade in Bavaria. Its business model revolves around member support, training, certification, and advocacy. The presence of partner domains such as arge-medien.de and zveh.de indicates a collaborative ecosystem supporting marketing and educational initiatives. The website's content and structure suggest a medium-sized organization with a stable market position in the regional trade association landscape. The integration of apprenticeship and qualification portals highlights a focus on workforce development and industry standards. The business intelligence points to a well-established organization with clear target segments and strategic partnerships enhancing its service offerings.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of a consent management platform, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The inclusion of tracking scripts is managed with user consent, aligning with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in comprehensive security governance. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected in the analysis. Recommendations include implementing HTTP security headers, publishing a security policy, and establishing a formal incident response channel to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and tracking tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance user trust by providing clearer information on data retention policies and security certifications.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript frameworks and third-party services for analytics and consent management. The hosting uses UI-DNS name servers, indicating a professional hosting environment. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The site employs structured navigation and search functionality with AJAX-based live search previews. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to modernize security headers and improve documentation of security practices. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with room for incremental improvements.
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.
