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

The website www.foej-rlp.de serves as the official portal for the Freiwilliges Ökologisches Jahr (Voluntary Ecological Year) in Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. It provides comprehensive information and resources for young people interested in ecological and environmental volunteering opportunities within the region and neighboring France. The site features placement listings, news updates, and application guidance, positioning itself as a key regional non-profit platform for ecological volunteer coordination. Technically, the website is built on the TYPO3 CMS platform, leveraging modern frontend technologies such as Bootstrap, FontAwesome, Leaflet, and TinyMCE. The hosting is managed via kasserver.com, a German hosting provider, ensuring regional alignment. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, clear navigation, and adequate SEO practices, although accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes a cookie consent banner, indicating GDPR compliance awareness. However, it lacks explicit security headers and incident response contact information. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected, and no tracking or advertising scripts are present, reflecting a privacy-conscious approach. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professionally maintained, and well-suited for its target audience. Strategic improvements in security headers and incident response transparency could further enhance its 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. 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

  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';…

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 Freiwilliges Ökologisches Jahr Rheinland-Pfalz operates as a small-sized non-profit entity focused on environmental volunteering. Its market position is strong regionally, supported by partnerships with recognized environmental organizations such as Landesforsten Rheinland-Pfalz, NABU, and BUND. The business model centers on providing information, volunteer placement services, and community engagement for youth interested in ecological work. Revenue streams are likely grant and public funding based, typical for non-profits. The target customer segment is young adults seeking ecological volunteer experiences. The partnership ecosystem is robust, enhancing credibility and reach. Growth indicators include active news updates and multilingual support. Operationally, the organization maintains a professional digital presence with consistent branding and clear contact channels.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced site-wide, and cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. No security.txt or explicit incident response contacts are provided, which limits transparency for vulnerability reporting. The absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No vulnerable or outdated libraries were detected in the frontend stack. The site does not appear to collect extensive user data or employ tracking, reducing privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit informational site but could benefit from enhanced header policies and documented incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden security.
  2. Publish a security policy or incident response contact page including security@ or abuse@ email addresses to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  3. Regularly audit and update TYPO3 CMS and all third-party extensions to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with WCAG standards and broaden user inclusivity.
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file at the root domain to formalize vulnerability disclosure processes.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and extensible content management system widely used in Germany. The frontend uses Bootstrap for responsive design, FontAwesome for icons, Leaflet for interactive maps, and TinyMCE as a rich text editor. Hosting is provided by kasserver.com, a German hosting provider, which aligns with the regional focus. Performance is moderate with no obvious bottlenecks, and the site is mobile optimized. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and alternate language links. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though the absence of advanced accessibility features and security headers indicates some technical debt and opportunities for modernization.
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.
