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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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
  2. 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
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality

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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention haus-der-fluesse.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for haus-der-fluesse.de right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The organization positions itself as a key regional player in environmental education and nature conservation. Its partnerships with related sites like Mittelelbe and Gartenreich indicate a collaborative ecosystem. The business model is focused on public service and education rather than commercial revenue. The presence of certifications related to accessibility and sustainability enhances its credibility. The website supports multiple languages and accessibility features, indicating inclusiveness and community engagement. Growth potential lies in expanding digital outreach and enhancing interactive content. The lack of commercial advertising suggests a focus on mission-driven objectives.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms in place. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure reduces transparency and preparedness perception. Security headers are not explicitly detected in the provided data, which could be improved. Overall, the site is secure for visitors but could benefit from enhanced security documentation and proactive communication of security practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user data protection.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Add incident response contact information, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, Strict-Transport-Security) to improve defense in depth.
  5. Continue to maintain and improve accessibility and privacy compliance to strengthen trust and inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, combined with Bootstrap 4.6 for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity. Additional libraries like Parsley.js for form validation and Fancybox for media display enhance user experience. Hosting is provided by agenturserver, as indicated by nameservers. Performance is moderate with compressed CSS and JS assets. Accessibility features such as contrast mode, font size adjustments, and sign language links are implemented, reflecting good technical maturity. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data. There is no indication of outdated or vulnerable libraries. The site could improve by adding modern security headers and further optimizing load times.
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.
