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. 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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 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';…

  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

The business operates in the government/legal services sector, targeting social benefit recipients in Germany. Its competitive advantage lies in offering free, expert legal review and support for Bürgergeld claims, backed by experienced attorneys and a large volume of processed cases. The business model relies on legal aid funding, enabling free services to users. The company maintains a professional online presence with comprehensive content and structured data, enhancing discoverability and trust. Partnerships with rightmart Rechtsanwalts GmbH strengthen its market position. Growth potential is supported by ongoing social welfare needs and digital accessibility.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of a Consent Management Platform for GDPR compliance, and optimized script loading to reduce attack surface. However, it lacks publicly visible security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. Security headers are partially implemented, and no critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Recommendations include enhancing header policies, publishing security and incident response documentation, and maintaining regular security audits to uphold trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve transparency and compliance.
  2. Add explicit security headers such as X-Content-Type-Options and Referrer-Policy to strengthen browser security.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide incident response contact information to improve trust and readiness.
  5. Continue regular security assessments and update third-party scripts to mitigate emerging threats.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with a child theme of Twenty Seventeen, enhanced by Yoast SEO and WP Rocket for SEO and performance optimization. Hosting uses Google Cloud DNS services, indicating reliable infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance is fast due to lazy loading and script deferring. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though opportunities exist to improve security headers and formalize security policies. Overall, the technical implementation supports a robust and scalable platform for legal service delivery.
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.
