Evangelische Freiwilligendienste gGmbH · Non-profit · Germany

High risk. 9 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view, Network security and 2 other checks.

Security score

48/100

Risk levelHigh

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

Evangelische Freiwilligendienste gGmbH operates as a central coordinating body for evangelical voluntary services in Germany and abroad, offering programs such as the Freiwilliges Soziales Jahr, Diakonisches Jahr, Bundesfreiwilligendienst, and international volunteer programs. The organization serves volunteers and partner organizations, providing consulting and placement services. The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, hosted on securehost.de, and uses Matomo analytics with privacy-respecting opt-in/out features. Security measures include HTTPS and Content Security Policy, though CSP could be improved by removing unsafe directives. Contact information is clearly presented, supporting trust and transparency. However, the site lacks a cookie consent banner and explicit terms of service or security policy pages, which are areas for compliance improvement.

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

9 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

  2. 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
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL 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 SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
  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 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';…

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 organization holds a strong market position within the evangelical non-profit sector in Germany, coordinating about 60 affiliated organizations. Its business model focuses on social impact through volunteer engagement rather than commercial revenue. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence, supported by partnerships with recognized entities such as the Evangelische Kirche in Deutschland and government ministries. The target audience includes prospective volunteers, partner organizations, and stakeholders in social and ecological voluntary services. The site’s content and structure support effective communication of services and opportunities, with a moderate technical infrastructure that balances modern CMS capabilities and performance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, multiple Content Security Policy directives, and privacy-conscious analytics implementation. The use of Matomo with opt-in/out respects user privacy. However, the CSP allows 'unsafe-inline' and 'unsafe-eval', which weakens protection against cross-site scripting attacks. No explicit security policy or incident response contacts are published, and no vulnerability disclosure mechanism is evident. These gaps suggest room for improvement in transparency and proactive security management. Overall, the site is secure but could enhance defenses and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Remove 'unsafe-inline' and 'unsafe-eval' from the Content Security Policy to strengthen script security.
  2. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  3. Publish clear terms of service and a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with accessibility standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used open-source content management system. It uses jQuery 3.4.1 and custom JavaScript for UI interactions and Matomo for analytics. Hosting is managed via securehost.de, indicated by the nameservers. The site includes multiple CSS stylesheets for layout, menus, and responsive design, supporting good mobile optimization. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. SEO is supported by meta tags including keywords and description. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The technical stack is modern and stable, with opportunities to harden security policies and improve compliance features.
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.
