Risk levelHigh

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

Evangelische Akademie Tutzing is a well-established non-profit educational institution based in Germany, focusing on political, social, cultural, and religious education through conferences, seminars, and publications. The website serves as a comprehensive platform for event information, media archives, and educational resources targeting academics, professionals, and the interested public. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with a modern theme and SEO optimizations, though it uses an outdated jQuery version that should be updated for security reasons. The site employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration and includes GDPR-compliant privacy and cookie policies, reflecting a strong commitment to user privacy and legal compliance. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved with additional security headers and updated libraries. The website is accessible without WAF or blocking mechanisms, and no suspicious or malicious content was 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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

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

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • 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
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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

      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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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 Evangelische Akademie Tutzing holds a strong position as a regional educational and cultural institution with a clear non-profit business model. Its revenue streams likely include event fees, publications, and donations. The target audience includes educators, students, policymakers, and the general public interested in social and political discourse. The institution maintains a professional online presence with active social media channels and partnerships, such as with Schloss Tutzing. The website content and structure support its mission effectively, with a broad range of topics and events. Growth indicators include regular event updates and active blog content. The partnership ecosystem includes cultural and media organizations, enhancing its outreach and credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. Security best practices such as nonce usage in AJAX calls are present. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version (1.12.4) introduces potential vulnerabilities that should be addressed promptly. The absence of advanced security headers like Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security is a gap that could be improved. No exposed sensitive data or signs of malware were found. Incident response and security policy documentation are not publicly available, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but would benefit from modernization and additional security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and plugin updates to maintain a secure environment.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the WPZoom framework and several plugins including Yoast SEO and Borlabs Cookie for privacy compliance. It uses jQuery 1.12.4, which is outdated and should be updated. The site loads moderately fast and is mobile optimized with responsive design. SEO is well implemented with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. The site integrates external media and social platforms securely with user consent. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but requires updates to reduce technical debt and improve security.
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.
