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

Fachkräfte für Mittelfranken is a regional information portal supported by the IHK Nürnberg für Mittelfranken, focusing on workforce development and HR topics relevant to the Mittelfranken region in Germany. The portal provides companies and HR professionals with practical examples, tools, events, and services to address challenges such as digital transformation, demographic changes, and international workforce integration. The website is well-branded, consistent, and leverages structured data and social media to enhance trust and visibility. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with a modern plugin ecosystem including Fusion Builder and Events Manager. It uses Matomo for privacy-respecting analytics and implements HTTPS with good SSL configuration. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, though accessibility features are basic. Privacy and cookie policies are present and GDPR compliant, with a consent mechanism implemented. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses privacy-friendly embedded content. However, it lacks explicit security headers and a public security policy or incident response contact. No vulnerabilities or suspicious domains were detected. WHOIS data aligns well with the website's organizational claims, showing a consistent and legitimate registration history. Overall, the website presents a professional, trustworthy, and secure platform for its target audience. Strategic improvements could include enhanced security headers, explicit incident response information, and more visible contact details to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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

10 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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';…

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 portal serves as a specialized regional resource for workforce and HR-related challenges, positioning itself as a trusted partner for companies in Mittelfranken. Its affiliation with the IHK Nürnberg provides credibility and access to a broad network. The business model is informational and service-oriented, focusing on knowledge dissemination, event promotion, and practical HR tools. The target audience includes HR professionals, company decision-makers, and stakeholders interested in workforce development. The portal's longevity since 2014 and consistent content updates indicate stable operations and market relevance. Partnerships with IHK and social media presence enhance its ecosystem and outreach capabilities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and privacy-conscious analytics. The presence of a cookie consent banner and privacy-friendly embedded videos indicates GDPR awareness. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of a published security policy or incident response contacts represent gaps. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected, and no suspicious external domains are linked. The site would benefit from formalizing its security policies and adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and incident management.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  3. Add a security.txt file at the root domain to provide clear vulnerability disclosure contacts.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Make contact information more visible and comprehensive to improve user trust and support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform with a well-maintained plugin ecosystem including Fusion Builder and Events Manager, supporting dynamic content and event management. It uses jQuery and jQuery UI libraries for UI interactions and Matomo for analytics, emphasizing privacy. The site is hosted likely by or in partnership with IHK Nürnberg, ensuring regional relevance and stability. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The site uses structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to improve security headers and accessibility compliance.
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.
