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

5 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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

KDFB Bamberg holds a solid position as a regional branch of a national women's advocacy organization. Its business model revolves around membership engagement, event organization, and social advocacy. The website supports these functions with clear navigation, event listings, and informational resources. The organization leverages partnerships with related regional and national entities, enhancing its reach and influence. Revenue streams likely include membership fees and donations, typical for non-profits. The presence of a newsletter and active social media channels indicates ongoing community engagement and outreach. The organization's focus on spiritual and social values aligns with its target audience, fostering a loyal member base and sustained growth potential.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption, integration of Captcha.eu to prevent automated abuse, and a cookie consent banner ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. The use of Matomo analytics allows for privacy-respecting user tracking. However, the absence of explicit HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for enhancement. No exposed sensitive data or outdated libraries were detected, and the use of up-to-date jQuery reduces vulnerability risks. Incident response and security policy documentation are not publicly available, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the site balances usability and security effectively for its non-profit context.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly audit and update all plugins and dependencies to minimize vulnerability exposure.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Maintain and periodically review privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform (version 6.8.2) with well-known plugins such as Gravity Forms for form management and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. It uses Matomo for analytics, which is a privacy-focused alternative to Google Analytics. The site employs Captcha.eu for bot protection on forms, enhancing security. Hosting appears to be managed via GoDaddy, inferred from the domain control nameservers. The site loads multiple JavaScript libraries including jQuery 3.7.1, Slick slider, and Fancybox for UI enhancements. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. There is no evidence of technical debt or deprecated technologies, indicating good maintenance practices.
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.
