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.

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. 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"

      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

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 bga occupies a unique market position as the only nationwide German institution focused exclusively on female entrepreneurship, supported by multiple federal ministries. Its business model is non-profit and service-oriented, providing a centralized platform for information, consulting, and networking. The organization runs multiple projects addressing various aspects of female entrepreneurship, including sustainability, innovation, and combating discrimination. The website reflects a mature digital presence with active social media engagement and comprehensive content offerings. Partnerships with universities, government bodies, and research institutes strengthen its ecosystem. Growth indicators include ongoing projects and a large database of consulting partners. Strategic observations highlight the importance of expanding privacy compliance and enhancing security transparency to maintain trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with enforced HTTPS, secure login forms with CSRF tokens, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of common security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could be addressed to improve protection against common web attacks. No vulnerable or outdated libraries were detected in the scripts. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contacts limits transparency. Privacy compliance is partial due to missing cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from adopting additional security best practices and formalizing incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR requirements.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance browser security.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party libraries and update them to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery-based libraries for UI components such as smartmenus and mmenu.js. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets efficiently and includes accessibility and SEO optimizations such as meta viewport and canonical tags. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, and navigation is clear and user-friendly. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though some legacy jQuery usage remains. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business goals effectively with opportunities for performance tuning and enhanced security configurations.
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.
