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

The Aachener Tierpark - EUREGIOZOO is a well-established regional zoo and leisure facility located in Aachen, Germany. It offers a variety of animal exhibits, educational programs, and visitor services targeted primarily at families and children. The website reflects a non-profit business model focused on conservation, education, and community engagement, supported by memberships in recognized zoo and conservation organizations. The content is primarily in German with multilingual navigation options, emphasizing accessibility to local and regional visitors. Technically, the website employs legacy technologies such as jQuery 1.8.1 and Google Analytics for visitor tracking. The site lacks modern security best practices, including HTTPS enforcement and security headers, and does not implement cookie consent mechanisms, which may expose it to compliance risks. The design and user experience are basic but functional, with clear navigation and relevant content, though mobile optimization and accessibility features are limited. From a security perspective, the site shows moderate maturity but has notable vulnerabilities due to outdated libraries and missing security headers. The absence of a visible privacy policy banner and cookie consent reduces privacy compliance scores. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, and no security certifications are declared beyond zoo-related memberships. The WHOIS data is minimal but consistent with the business domain, indicating legitimacy without privacy protection. Overall, the website is safe and appropriate for its audience but requires technical and security improvements to enhance compliance, protect user data, and improve trustworthiness. Strategic recommendations include upgrading technology stacks, implementing HTTPS and security headers, adding privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms, and enhancing accessibility and mobile responsiveness.

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.

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

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

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.

Business context

Business profile

The Aachener Tierpark - EUREGIOZOO operates as a medium-sized non-profit entity in the hospitality and non-profit sectors, focusing on zoological and educational services. Its market position is strong regionally as a popular leisure destination in the Euregio area. Revenue streams likely include ticket sales, sponsorships, donations, and educational program fees. The target customer segments are families, children, and local tourists. The organization benefits from partnerships and memberships with reputable conservation and zoo associations, enhancing its credibility and conservation impact. The website supports multilingual access, indicating an inclusive approach to diverse visitors. However, the lack of detailed business registration data and limited online contact information may constrain broader commercial engagement and trust.

Security posture

The current security posture of the website is moderate but with significant gaps. The use of an outdated jQuery version introduces potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited. The absence of HTTPS enforcement and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options weakens protection against common web attacks. No visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, limiting the organization's ability to manage security incidents effectively. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy page present but no cookie consent mechanism or GDPR compliance indicators. The Google Analytics implementation includes IP anonymization, which is a positive privacy measure. Overall, the site requires urgent updates to its security framework to mitigate risks and align with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to supported secure versions to eliminate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement HTTPS site-wide with HSTS to ensure secure data transmission and improve user trust.
  3. Add comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Introduce a cookie consent banner and mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance privacy transparency.
  5. Develop and publish an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve security readiness and stakeholder trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses legacy technologies such as jQuery 1.8.1 and Google Analytics (ga.js), indicating technical debt and potential security risks. The CSS includes conditional styles for older Internet Explorer versions, suggesting limited modernization. Hosting appears to be managed via domaincontrol.com DNS servers, likely GoDaddy, but no direct hosting provider details are available. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts but some scripts loaded over HTTP, which is insecure. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic, with no explicit responsive design or ARIA features detected. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no structured data like JSON-LD or Open Graph tags. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but requires modernization to improve security, performance, and user experience.
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.
