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

Erfurt-Crowd is a localized crowdfunding platform operated by fairplaid GmbH, focusing on supporting projects in culture, art, social, education, environment, and sports sectors within the Erfurt community. The platform facilitates project fundraising by providing a digital space for project initiators and supporters to connect. The website demonstrates a clear market position as a regional crowdfunding facilitator with a business model centered on community engagement and project funding. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript frameworks including React, integrates Google Analytics with IP anonymization, and uses Klaro for cookie consent management. Accessibility is enhanced through Eye-Able tools, and the site is mobile optimized with good SEO practices. The technical infrastructure is solid, leveraging Fairplaid's crowdfunding technology platform. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with good SSL configuration and includes privacy compliance mechanisms such as cookie consent and a privacy policy. However, explicit security headers and detailed security policies are absent, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with GDPR requirements. The absence of direct contact information and terms of service pages are minor gaps. The domain WHOIS data aligns well with the website's claims, supporting legitimacy. The site is safe for general audiences with no adult or questionable content 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

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 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';…

  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

Erfurt-Crowd operates as a niche crowdfunding platform targeting local community projects in Erfurt, Germany. Its competitive advantage lies in its focus on cultural, social, educational, environmental, and sports initiatives, differentiating it from broader crowdfunding platforms. The business model relies on providing technology and platform services to project creators and supporters, likely generating revenue through platform fees or service charges. The partnership with fairplaid GmbH provides technological backbone and credibility. The platform's growth potential is tied to community engagement and expanding project categories. The ecosystem includes integrations with Google Analytics and accessibility tools, enhancing user experience and compliance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, IP anonymization in analytics, and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. Accessibility features indicate attention to inclusive design. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of published security policies or incident response contacts represent areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified. The platform would benefit from formalizing security documentation and providing clear channels for security incident reporting to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page including incident response procedures and contact information.
  3. Add a terms of service page to clarify user rights and obligations.
  4. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security inquiries.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern JavaScript stack with React framework and integrates third-party services such as Google Analytics and Klaro for cookie consent. Accessibility is enhanced via Eye-Able tools, and the site uses slick-carousel for UI components. The platform is hosted with German DNS providers and uses Fairplaid's crowdfunding technology. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. There is no detected CMS, indicating a custom or proprietary platform. Technical risks are low but could be further reduced by adding security headers and improving documentation.
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.
