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. Security headers

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

ESG Bamberg operates in the education and non-profit sectors, targeting university students in Bamberg. Its business model relies on church funding, public grants, and donations. The organization has a strong local presence with ecumenical partnerships and community engagement. The website supports its mission by providing event information, fundraising campaigns, and contact channels. The lack of phone contact and limited social media presence suggests a focus on direct community interaction. The partnership with evangelische-termine.de for event management indicates integration with broader church networks.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is used, and a cookie consent manager (Klaro) is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. However, no HTTP security headers were detected in the provided data, and there is no visible security or incident response policy. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present. The site does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries visibly. To improve, the organization should implement security headers, publish security policies, and consider a vulnerability disclosure process to enhance trust and resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  4. Regularly update Drupal core and modules to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance contact information by adding phone numbers or additional contact channels for better user support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Drupal 10 CMS with Bootstrap for responsive design and Klaro for cookie consent management. It employs Colorbox for image lightboxes and FontAwesome for icons. The site is mobile optimized and accessible with clear navigation. Performance is moderate, with no explicit hosting provider identified. SEO is supported by canonical links and meta tags. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for a small non-profit organization. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and performance optimizations.
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.
