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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Business context
Business profile
Hessens Bauern operates as an important regional agricultural entity focused on promoting local farms and sustainable agriculture in Hessen. Its business model centers on information dissemination, community engagement, and supporting direct marketing of agricultural products. The platform targets local consumers, schools, and families interested in agriculture and sustainability. The website's integration with social media and event announcements indicates active community involvement. While no direct revenue streams or parent company information are evident, the site serves as a trusted regional resource with consistent branding and good content quality.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and privacy-respecting analytics via Matomo configured to disable cookies and respect Do Not Track. The presence of a cookie consent modal aligns with GDPR compliance. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security or incident response policies represent areas for improvement. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The site would benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency to strengthen its security maturity and incident readiness.
Recommendations
Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.
Consider adding clear contact emails and phone numbers for business and security inquiries to improve trust and communication.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on a modern Drupal 10 CMS platform with integration of Leaflet.js for interactive maps and Matomo for privacy-focused analytics. The site uses responsive design techniques and multiple image sizes for performance optimization. Hosting is provided via rzone.de as indicated by nameservers. The site loads asynchronously loaded scripts and stylesheets, contributing to moderate performance. There is room for improvement in accessibility and security header implementation. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid and supports the business goals effectively.
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.
