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

The Freiburger Orientierungsjahr website represents a small, regionally focused educational and faith-based orientation year program affiliated with the Archdiocese of Freiburg. It offers young adults a structured year for personal development, study and career orientation, and faith strengthening. The website is professionally designed with clear navigation and consistent branding, targeting primarily German-speaking youth seeking guidance after high school. Technically, the site uses Edith CMS, jQuery, Bootstrap, and Matomo analytics, hosted on professional infrastructure with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms in place. Security posture is solid with no critical vulnerabilities detected, though some security best practices like security headers and incident response policies could be improved. Overall, the site is trustworthy, GDPR compliant, and safe for general audiences.

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

8 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

      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';…

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 business operates as a non-profit educational program under the Erzbistum Freiburg umbrella, serving a niche market of young adults in Freiburg, Germany. Its competitive advantage lies in combining personal development with faith-based community support. The business model is service-oriented without direct commercial transactions visible on the site. Partnerships appear limited but include church institutions. Growth indicators are not explicit, but ongoing development of the program concept is noted. The website supports outreach and application processes, though applications are currently paused for the 2025/26 course year.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented. Privacy notices for third-party content are comprehensive, indicating awareness of GDPR requirements. However, no explicit security policy or incident response contacts are published, and security headers are not evident in the provided data. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The use of Matomo analytics suggests privacy-conscious tracking. Overall, security risks are low but could be further mitigated by publishing formal security policies and adding security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response.
  2. Implement and expose a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  3. Add standard security HTTP headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  4. Include explicit incident response contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses).
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The site is built on Edith CMS with a modern JavaScript stack including jQuery, jQuery UI, Bootstrap, and FontAwesome. It uses Matomo for analytics, indicating a preference for privacy-friendly tools. Hosting is managed by w-commerce.de with DNS servers ns14.net and ns01.w-commerce.de. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading and responsive design elements. Accessibility is basic but present, with skip links and ARIA attributes. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD BreadcrumbList). The site could benefit from enhanced accessibility features and performance optimizations.
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.
