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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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';…
  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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 association holds a significant position within the regional agricultural sector, providing advocacy, education, and member benefits. Their business model is non-profit, focusing on representation and support rather than commercial sales. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content and active engagement channels. Partnerships with various agricultural and regional organizations enhance their ecosystem and influence. The lack of direct contact information on the homepage suggests a structured approach to communication, likely centralized on dedicated pages.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration and uses a cookie consent manager compliant with GDPR. No critical security headers were detected in the provided data, indicating room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The absence of explicit security policies or incident response information is a gap in transparency. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced header policies and published security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add explicit contact information for security incidents or data protection officer to comply with best practices.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance SEO by adding structured data (JSON-LD) for organization and contact details.

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10 CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries like Swiper.js and jQuery. It uses CCM19 for cookie consent management and Matomo for analytics, indicating a preference for privacy-conscious tools. Hosting is managed via transmit.de as indicated by nameservers. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, likely due to rich media content and multiple external resources. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting a professional and user-friendly experience.
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.
