The website serves as an information portal for parents and the community, highlighting the school's values, services, and contact details. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using the Avada theme and several popular plugins, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The presence of a PWA plugin suggests some modern web capabilities.

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

11 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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  4. 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"

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 · found on this site
  • 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 school operates as a public educational institution serving the local community of Thüngen and surrounding areas. Its bilingual program and affiliation with Bavarian educational authorities position it as a specialized primary school. The business model is non-commercial, focusing on education and community service. The website supports this by providing clear contact information, news updates, and resources for parents. Partnerships with local government and educational bodies are evident through linked domains. The absence of commercial advertising or analytics tools aligns with the institution's non-profit nature. Growth indicators are limited but the site maintains consistent branding and content quality.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and GDPR compliance is addressed via the Complianz plugin and a privacy policy page. However, the presence of a WordPress debug notice in the live HTML indicates some development or configuration oversight that could expose internal information. No advanced security headers were detected, which could improve protection against common web attacks. The login form uses POST method but lacks visible CAPTCHA or multi-factor authentication, potentially exposing it to brute force attacks. No incident response or security policy pages are present, which is typical for a small educational site but represents an area for improvement. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from hardening and better operational security practices.

Recommendations

  1. Remove or suppress WordPress debug notices in the production environment to avoid information leakage.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add CAPTCHA or multi-factor authentication to the login form to mitigate brute force risks.
  4. Publish a basic security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly update all WordPress components and monitor for vulnerabilities to maintain security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 with the Avada theme, leveraging popular plugins like Slider Revolution, Contact Form 7, and Complianz GDPR. The hosting appears to be provided by dogado.net with DNS servers from cloudpit domains. The site uses jQuery and modern JavaScript libraries for UI effects and responsiveness. Performance is moderate with some heavy slider assets but generally good mobile optimization. Accessibility is basic with some ARIA labels and skip links present. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data, though no JSON-LD structured data was detected. The site uses a PWA plugin indicating some progressive web app capabilities. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small educational website but could be optimized further for speed 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.
