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

The Entrepreneurship Hub is an educational initiative focused on fostering entrepreneurship and innovation among students, primarily affiliated with the TU Braunschweig and Ostfalia Hochschule in Germany. It offers a range of teaching formats, research projects, and support services aimed at enabling students to successfully found innovative companies. The website is professionally designed using WordPress and Elementor, with a clear structure and good mobile optimization. It integrates GDPR-compliant cookie consent and uses Matomo for analytics, reflecting a mature approach to privacy and data protection. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though some security headers could be improved. The absence of WHOIS data is likely due to privacy protection, which is justified for this type of educational entity. Overall, the site presents a trustworthy and professional image with strong business credibility in the education sector.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…
  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality

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 Entrepreneurship Hub operates in the education sector, targeting students interested in entrepreneurship and innovation. Its business model revolves around providing educational content, research, and networking opportunities to support startup creation. The Hub maintains partnerships with regional universities, enhancing its credibility and reach. The website content and social media presence indicate active engagement with its audience. The organization appears small but focused, with a clear niche in entrepreneurship education. No direct revenue streams are visible on the site, suggesting funding through academic or public sources. The partnership ecosystem includes prominent local universities, which strengthens its market position.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. Use of Matomo analytics respects user privacy by requiring consent before tracking. No security headers were detected in the HTML content, which is an area for improvement. There is no visible security policy or incident response information published, which could enhance transparency and preparedness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the site content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good, suitable for an educational website but with room for enhancement in security headers and incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and readiness for security incidents.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve trust with security researchers.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and comply with accessibility standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 using the Elementor page builder and Elementor Pro plugin, indicating a modern and flexible CMS infrastructure. It uses jQuery and Google Fonts for frontend enhancements. The site employs Matomo for analytics, integrated with a GDPR-compliant cookie consent plugin (Complianz). Performance is moderate with lazy loading and asynchronous script loading implemented. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO is supported by the Yoast SEO plugin. No hosting provider information is directly available from the HTML content. The technical stack is well-chosen for an educational website, balancing ease of use, customization, and compliance requirements.
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.
