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

Femtec.Alumnae e.V. is a German non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and networking highly qualified women in STEM fields. The website serves as a platform to promote events, mentoring programs, awards, and advocacy for gender equality in technology and science sectors. The organization has a medium-sized membership base and a strong presence in Germany and Switzerland. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including Bootstrap and various plugins for enhanced functionality. The site is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and provides rich content relevant to its audience. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled, but lacks some security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are recommended for GDPR compliance. WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly reduces trustworthiness but the professional presentation and external links support legitimacy. Overall, the website is a credible and valuable resource for women in STEM, with room for security and privacy improvements.

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

4 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 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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 organization operates in the education and non-profit sectors, focusing on empowering women in STEM through networking, mentoring, and events. Its business model revolves around membership and partnerships, with a clear target audience of technically skilled women and STEM enthusiasts. The website reflects a mature digital presence with active social media integration and event promotion. The lack of WHOIS transparency is a minor concern but does not detract significantly from the organization's credibility. The partnership ecosystem includes reputable platforms like LinkedIn, YouTube, and PayPal for donations. Growth indicators include active event calendars and awards programs. The organization positions itself as a key player in promoting gender diversity in STEM in Germany.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file indicates limited formal incident response readiness. Cookie consent mechanisms are missing, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be enhanced by implementing recommended headers, formalizing vulnerability disclosure, and adding cookie consent.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and mechanism to comply with GDPR requirements.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve incident response transparency.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using PHP and JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Bootstrap for responsive design. It employs multiple plugins for functionality including contact forms, Instagram feeds, testimonials, and polls. The site loads with moderate performance and is mobile-optimized. SEO practices are good with proper meta tags and structured navigation. However, there is no evidence of advanced performance optimization like caching or CDN usage. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. The technical stack is modern but requires ongoing maintenance to ensure security 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.
