0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Himmlische Herbergen e.V. operates a well-established online platform dedicated to Christian group accommodations across Germany and parts of Europe. The website offers a comprehensive search and filter system for various types of guesthouses, hotels, and self-catering accommodations, targeting Christian groups, families, youth groups, and seminar attendees. The organization positions itself as a niche leader in the hospitality sector with a strong non-profit orientation and a focus on community and spiritual hospitality. Technically, the website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 with modern plugins such as Borlabs Cookie for privacy compliance and Instagram Feed integration for social engagement. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, SEO practices, and moderate performance. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though some security headers could be improved. No critical vulnerabilities or blocking mechanisms were detected, and the site maintains comprehensive privacy and cookie policies aligned with GDPR requirements. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests reliance on contact forms and social media channels for communication. Overall, the site reflects a mature digital presence with strong trust indicators and professional content. Strategically, the organization should focus on enhancing security headers, expanding direct contact options, and continuing to maintain compliance and transparency to strengthen user trust and operational resilience.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL 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 SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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. 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

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

Himmlische Herbergen e.V. occupies a specialized market niche providing Christian hospitality services primarily in Germany. Its business model centers on a non-profit association that aggregates and promotes member guesthouses with a shared religious profile. Revenue streams likely include membership fees, event hosting, and an associated online shop. The target customers are Christian groups seeking accommodations for retreats, seminars, and family vacations. The organization benefits from a strong partnership ecosystem, including regional church bodies and hospitality networks, enhancing its market reach and credibility. Growth indicators include active workshop offerings and event participation. The platform's digital maturity is moderate, with opportunities to expand direct user engagement and improve technical infrastructure.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a robust cookie consent mechanism via Borlabs Cookie. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. There is no evidence of an incident response policy or vulnerability disclosure program publicly available. Compliance with GDPR is well addressed through clear privacy and cookie policies. The security culture appears proactive but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls to mitigate emerging threats and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a formal incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  3. Consider adding direct contact emails and phone numbers for customer support and security reporting to improve communication channels.
  4. Regularly audit and update all WordPress plugins and themes to minimize vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS version 6.8.3, utilizing popular plugins such as Borlabs Cookie for GDPR compliance and Instagram Feed for social media integration. The tech stack includes jQuery 3.7.1 and Redux Framework. The site uses multiple name servers across different country TLDs, indicating professional hosting arrangements. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO meta tags present. The site uses nonce tokens in forms for security. There is no explicit hosting provider identified from the HTML content. The technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security headers and performance tuning.
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.
