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

Foerderdata.de is a German-based online platform operated by febis Service GmbH that specializes in assisting individuals and businesses in finding and applying for government subsidies, particularly in the energy and renewable energy sectors. The website offers a comprehensive subsidy search service and application support, targeting a German-speaking audience interested in state funding programs. The company positions itself as a niche service provider with a focus on energy-related subsidies, leveraging digital tools to simplify access to funding opportunities. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Avada theme, integrating modern web technologies such as jQuery, Gravity Forms, and Cookiebot for cookie consent management. The site employs Google Tag Manager and HubSpot for analytics and marketing automation, indicating a mature digital marketing infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices, though accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements a detailed cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not evident, and no dedicated security or incident response policies are published. The use of multiple third-party marketing and tracking services increases the surface for privacy considerations but is managed with user consent. Overall, foerderdata.de presents a professional and trustworthy online presence with a solid business model focused on subsidy facilitation. Security posture is adequate but could be improved with enhanced headers and published policies. Privacy compliance is strong, supported by transparent cookie management. The domain registration is consistent with the business, though some DNS details suggest third-party hosting. Strategic recommendations include strengthening security headers, publishing incident response information, and maintaining transparency in data protection practices.

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 German energy subsidy market, providing a digital platform for subsidy discovery and application assistance. Its competitive advantage lies in simplifying complex government funding processes for end-users. The business model relies on online service delivery, likely monetized through consulting or lead generation. The target customers include homeowners, businesses, and energy consultants seeking financial support for energy-efficient upgrades. Growth indicators include integration with marketing tools like HubSpot and Google Analytics, suggesting active customer engagement and lead tracking. The partnership with related domains such as foerdermittelauskunft.de indicates an ecosystem approach to subsidy information services. The company maintains a focused niche with potential for expansion into other subsidy sectors.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with mandatory HTTPS and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a gap in defense-in-depth. There is no visible incident response or security policy documentation, which could impact readiness and transparency. The extensive use of third-party marketing and analytics tools necessitates ongoing privacy and security audits to mitigate risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small business but would benefit from enhancements to headers and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools for vulnerabilities and privacy compliance.
  4. Maintain and update cookie consent mechanisms to reflect evolving GDPR and ePrivacy regulations.
  5. Consider adding a data protection officer contact or privacy liaison to strengthen compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Avada theme, supported by jQuery and Gravity Forms for interactive features. Cookiebot manages cookie consent with detailed categorization and user controls. Google Tag Manager and HubSpot are integrated for analytics and marketing automation, indicating a modern digital marketing stack. Performance is moderate with preconnect hints and preload directives for key resources. Mobile optimization is good, leveraging responsive design. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with enhanced ARIA roles and keyboard navigation support. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified, but DNS records indicate use of French-based name servers. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing monitoring for security and privacy 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.
