Security score

77/100

Risk levelLow

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

The website hoch-und-weit.de serves as a search and information platform for continuing education programs at universities, primarily targeting individuals seeking educational opportunities in Germany. The site is built using modern web technologies such as Gatsby and React, ensuring a responsive and user-friendly experience. The content is well-structured and relevant to its educational niche, with consistent branding and good design quality. However, the site lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, contact information, and explicit security policies, which are critical for compliance and user trust. The WHOIS data is minimal, providing limited insight into the domain's registration details, which slightly impacts the overall trust assessment. Security posture is basic, with no detected security headers or incident response information. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy, security, and contact transparency to improve compliance and user confidence.

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. 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';…

  2. 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

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

hoch-und-weit.de operates in the education sector, focusing on providing a searchable database or platform for university-level continuing education programs. Its business model appears to be informational, likely monetized through partnerships or advertising, though no explicit monetization methods were detected. The target audience includes students, professionals, and lifelong learners in Germany. The site holds a niche market position as a specialized educational search tool. There is no evidence of parent or subsidiary companies, and the business size is likely small. The lack of detailed business information and contact data limits deeper business intelligence insights. The platform's use of modern web frameworks indicates a commitment to digital maturity, but the absence of trust signals such as certifications or testimonials suggests room for growth in market credibility.

Security posture

The security posture of hoch-und-weit.de is currently basic. The site uses HTTPS (implied by canonical URL), but no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, or X-Content-Type-Options were detected in the provided HTML content. There is no visible privacy policy, cookie consent mechanism, or incident response contact information, which are essential for GDPR compliance and security transparency. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found. The absence of these elements indicates potential compliance gaps and a need for improved security governance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. To enhance security posture, the site should implement comprehensive security headers, privacy and cookie policies, and clear incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  4. Establish and publish an incident response policy and contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Gatsby, a modern React-based static site generator, which supports good performance and SEO optimization. The use of web fonts like Open Sans and Source Serif Pro enhances typography and branding consistency. The site includes canonical and sitemap links, indicating SEO awareness. However, no CMS or hosting provider information was detected. Performance appears moderate based on the technology stack and content size. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design elements evident in CSS. Accessibility is basic, with standard semantic HTML headings and text structure but no explicit ARIA roles or accessibility features detected. SEO optimization is good, with meta tags for viewport, robots, and Open Graph properties present. Overall, the technical implementation is modern but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and security features.
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.
