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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…
  2. 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

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

The Evangelischer Kirchenkreis an Lahn und Dill holds a stable position as a regional religious authority within the Evangelical Church in Germany. Its business model is non-profit, focusing on spiritual guidance, community engagement, and social services. Revenue streams likely include donations and church funding, supported by online donation options. The target customer segments are church members, volunteers, and local communities. The organization maintains active social media channels and a well-structured website, indicating a commitment to outreach and communication. Growth indicators include regular events and community programs. The partnership ecosystem includes social media platforms and regional church networks. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance digital presence through improved privacy and security transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and some security best practices in place. However, it lacks comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate certain attack vectors. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The presence of secure forms and AJAX nonce tokens indicates attention to input security. Compliance gaps include the absence of a privacy policy and incident response contact information. Data protection practices are partially implemented via cookie consent. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly visible. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from enhancements to meet higher compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Notes

The website is built on a mature WordPress platform with a popular commercial theme (Avada) and several well-known plugins. The technology stack includes jQuery and Yoast SEO, supporting SEO and user engagement. Hosting is provided by rzone.de, a German hosting provider. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in image loading and caching. The site is mobile-optimized and uses structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding. Technical risks include potential plugin vulnerabilities and limited security headers. Modernization opportunities include adopting newer JavaScript frameworks or headless CMS approaches for improved scalability and performance.
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.
