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

Evangelisches Bauernwerk in Württemberg e.V. operates as a non-profit educational and community organization focused on serving people in agriculture and rural areas in Germany. With over 60 years of history, it provides adult education, social support, and youth programs through its Ländliche Heimvolkshochschule Hohebuch and regional church districts. The organization emphasizes Christian values and holistic, participant-oriented learning. The website reflects a mature digital presence built on WordPress with standard plugins and good SEO practices. It offers rich content, event information, and partner collaborations, targeting agricultural communities and church members. Technically, the site uses WordPress 6.7.4, jQuery, and plugins like Events Manager and Contact Form 7. The site is mobile-optimized and moderately performant but lacks advanced security headers and explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. HTTPS is enforced, and no critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy but lacks a cookie consent mechanism. Security posture is solid but could be improved by adding security headers, publishing security policies, and implementing vulnerability disclosure channels. The WHOIS data is minimal but consistent with a legitimate non-profit organization. The site links to multiple partner domains, reinforcing its community and collaborative nature. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-suited for its audience, with room for security and privacy enhancements to strengthen compliance and 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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

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 Evangelisches Bauernwerk in Württemberg e.V. holds a strong position as a regional non-profit focused on agricultural education and community support within the Evangelical Church in Germany. Its competitive advantage lies in its long-standing history, deep community ties, and diverse educational offerings including adult education, youth programs, and social counseling. Revenue streams likely include donations, grants, event fees, and educational program funding. The target customers are farmers, rural families, church members, and youth seeking agricultural and spiritual education. The organization maintains a broad partnership ecosystem with related agricultural, educational, and cultural organizations, enhancing its reach and impact. Strategic observations suggest a stable operation with potential growth in digital engagement and program diversification.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS and no visible sensitive data leaks. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security indicates room for improvement. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, which could hinder timely reporting and mitigation of security issues. GDPR compliance is partially addressed through a detailed privacy policy but lacks cookie consent mechanisms. The use of standard WordPress plugins requires ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. Overall, the security culture appears cautious but could benefit from formalized policies and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and ePrivacy regulations.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program, including a security.txt file and dedicated contact channels for security issues.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS version 6.7.4 with a standard set of plugins including Events Manager, Contact Form 7, and Yoast SEO. The tech stack includes jQuery 3.5.1 and various UI components for date pickers and dialogs. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate with no major bottlenecks detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but DNS is managed via GoDaddy name servers. The site uses standard web fonts and CSS with inline styles for theme consistency. There is no evidence of advanced frameworks or headless CMS architectures. Technical risks include potential plugin vulnerabilities and lack of advanced security headers.
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.
