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

Förderverein Garchinger Geschichte e.V. is a small non-profit organization dedicated to researching and preserving the historical development of the city of Garching, Germany. The website serves as an information hub for local history enthusiasts, offering publications, event announcements, and archival resources. The association targets local citizens and guests interested in cultural heritage and historical education. The business model is community-focused, relying on membership and donations to support its activities. Technically, the website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 with common plugins such as Slider WD, Contact Form 7, and a cookie notice plugin. It uses Bootstrap 3.3.6 for styling and jQuery 3.7.1 for scripting. The site is moderately optimized for mobile devices and has basic SEO and accessibility features. Hosting details are limited but name servers indicate a German hosting provider. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements a cookie consent mechanism, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, no advanced security headers or incident response policies are published. The use of an older Bootstrap version may pose some security risks. No analytics or tracking services are detected, which reduces privacy concerns but also limits marketing insights. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional for its purpose, with good content quality and clear contact information. The main risks relate to potential outdated components and lack of formal security policies. Strategic improvements in security headers, incident response transparency, and technical updates would enhance the site's security posture 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

7 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

    • 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

  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

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 Förderverein Garchinger Geschichte e.V. occupies a niche position as a local historical society in Garching, Germany. Its competitive advantage lies in its focused mission on local history research and community engagement through events and publications. The business model is non-profit, relying on donations and memberships rather than commercial revenue streams. The target customer segment includes local residents, history enthusiasts, and cultural preservation advocates. Growth indicators are modest, with a stable community presence and regular event scheduling. The partnership ecosystem is limited, with no explicit partners or subsidiaries identified. The organization operates transparently with clear contact details and legal disclosures, supporting credibility in its domain.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented, aligning with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and HSTS reduces protection against common web attacks. The use of an older Bootstrap version may expose the site to known vulnerabilities if not patched. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, indicating limited preparedness for security incidents. Data protection practices appear minimal but adequate for the site's scope, with no sensitive data collection detected. Overall, the security posture is functional but could benefit from enhancements to align with best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website against attacks.
  2. Upgrade Bootstrap and other third-party libraries to their latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of plugins and themes to identify and remediate vulnerabilities promptly.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a standard WordPress CMS platform with common plugins for sliders, contact forms, and cookie notices. It uses Bootstrap 3.3.6 for responsive design and jQuery 3.7.1 for client-side scripting. The site loads external fonts from Google Fonts and uses a slider plugin for image presentation. Performance is moderate with no advanced caching or optimization detected. Mobile responsiveness is good but accessibility features are basic. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified but name servers suggest a German hosting environment. Technical debt is present in the use of older Bootstrap versions and lack of modern security headers. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack, improve performance, and enhance security configurations.
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.
