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

Foerderdata.de is operated by febis Service GmbH, a German company specializing in providing online services for discovering and applying for government subsidies and funding programs, particularly in the energy and renewable energy sectors. The website offers users a platform to search for relevant funding opportunities and supports the application process, targeting private and commercial clients interested in energy-efficient upgrades and renewable energy installations. The company positions itself as a niche service provider within the German energy subsidy market, leveraging digital tools to simplify access to public funding. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Avada theme, enhanced with plugins such as Gravity Forms Klick Tipp Manager Premium, WP Rocket for performance optimization, and Rank Math PRO for SEO. It integrates Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant cookie consent management and Google Tag Manager for analytics deployment. The site demonstrates moderate to good performance, with mobile optimization and basic accessibility features in place. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism with granular user controls. However, it lacks explicit security headers and published security or incident response policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The WHOIS data shows some inconsistency with French-based name servers, but the domain registration aligns with the business identity, supporting legitimacy. Overall, Foerderdata.de presents a professional, trustworthy online presence with good privacy compliance and a solid technical foundation. Strategic improvements in security headers and incident response transparency would enhance its security posture and user trust.

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 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. 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

Foerderdata.de operates in the specialized market of government subsidy facilitation for energy and renewable projects in Germany. Its competitive advantage lies in simplifying complex subsidy landscapes through an online searchable database and application support. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on information provision and application assistance rather than direct subsidy disbursement. Revenue streams likely include service fees or partnerships with subsidy providers. The target customers are homeowners, businesses, and installers seeking financial support for energy projects. The company leverages partnerships with marketing and analytics providers like HubSpot and Cookiebot to optimize user engagement and compliance. Growth indicators include integration of advanced consent management and SEO optimization, positioning the company well within its niche. No parent or subsidiary relationships were identified, indicating an independent small enterprise.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and a robust cookie consent framework compliant with GDPR. The use of Cookiebot ensures transparent user consent management and detailed cookie disclosures. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No published security policies or incident response contacts were found, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. The WHOIS data does not indicate privacy protection, which is appropriate for this business type, but the use of foreign name servers warrants monitoring. Overall, the site maintains a secure environment for users but should enhance its security documentation and header implementation to align with best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins to ensure no vulnerable libraries are in use.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Avada theme, supported by plugins for SEO (Rank Math PRO), performance (WP Rocket), form management (Gravity Forms Klick Tipp Manager Premium), and cookie consent (Cookiebot). The tech stack includes jQuery and Google Tag Manager for analytics deployment. The site shows moderate performance with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility. The presence of structured data (JSON-LD) enhances SEO and semantic understanding by search engines. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The site benefits from preconnect hints to external domains, improving resource loading times. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts and the lack of advanced security headers. Overall, the infrastructure supports a professional online presence with room for modernization in security and accessibility.
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.
