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

The website 'lern-bw.de' represents the Landeszentrum für Ernährung Baden-Württemberg, a regional government-affiliated center focused on nutrition education and promoting sustainable, healthy community catering. It targets a broad audience including educators, catering professionals, parents, and seniors. The site offers educational materials, events, and information to support nutrition education across various life settings. Technically, the site uses a custom CMS with modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Matomo for analytics, and Google Maps API. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible with good SEO practices. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data exposure, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is limited due to missing privacy and cookie policies. WHOIS data is minimal but domain appears legitimate for a government-related entity. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and safe for general audiences.

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

7 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. 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

  3. 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';…

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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention ernaehrung-bw.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for ernaehrung-bw.de right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The Landeszentrum für Ernährung Baden-Württemberg operates as an important public sector entity in the education and government sectors, focusing on nutrition education and community catering. Its business model revolves around providing educational content, organizing events, and supporting various stakeholders in nutrition and catering fields. The organization leverages partnerships within the Baden-Württemberg region and targets multiple customer segments including schools, childcare providers, catering services, and the general public. The website content and structure indicate a mature digital presence with consistent branding and clear navigation. The absence of direct contact emails and limited WHOIS data suggest a controlled communication approach typical for government entities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which limits transparency and readiness perception. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies, potentially exposing the organization to GDPR compliance risks. The use of Matomo analytics indicates some privacy-conscious tracking, but no explicit consent mechanism is observed. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved by implementing standard security headers, publishing security policies, and enhancing privacy compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to improve transparency and security culture.
  4. Provide direct contact information such as official emails and phone numbers to improve user trust and communication.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to avoid vulnerabilities and improve performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom CMS platform (pbs-bw-rebrush2024) with a modern front-end stack including jQuery 3.6.0, jQuery UI, FontAwesome, GLightbox, and asynchronous loading of scripts for performance optimization. Matomo analytics is used for user tracking, indicating a preference for privacy-friendly analytics. Google Maps API is integrated but with an undefined API key in the snippet, which may affect map functionality. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in caching and resource optimization. The absence of visible security headers and explicit privacy mechanisms indicates technical debt in security and compliance areas.
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.
