Risk levelHigh

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

J-GCL Berlin is a small non-profit youth organization focused on Christian community activities within the Berlin region. The website serves primarily as an informational portal presenting the organization's identity, social media presence, and contact email. The business model centers on community engagement and youth involvement in Christian life, positioning itself as a local entity without commercial operations. Technically, the website is built on a simple HTML5 and CSS stack with some JavaScript for UI enhancements, using the HTML5 UP design template and Font Awesome icons. The site is moderately optimized for mobile devices but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is basic; while the domain is registered with a reputable German registrar and protected against unauthorized transfers, the site lacks DNSSEC, security headers, and visible HTTPS enforcement details. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Overall, the site is safe, with no adult or questionable content, but would benefit from enhanced security and compliance measures.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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

      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 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. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

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 organization operates in the non-profit sector targeting youth interested in Christian life in Berlin. Its market position is local and community-focused, with no evident commercial revenue streams. The website's simplicity and lack of advanced digital marketing or analytics tools suggest limited digital maturity. The absence of privacy and cookie policies and minimal security controls indicate areas for improvement in compliance and risk management. The external links to Instagram and credit sites reflect a modest partnership ecosystem primarily for design and media resources. Growth indicators and strategic partnerships are not evident from the website content.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is low to moderate. The domain registration is consistent and legitimate, but the website lacks critical security controls such as DNSSEC, security headers, and visible HTTPS enforcement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting readiness for security events. The absence of privacy and cookie policies poses compliance risks under GDPR. No forms or data collection reduce exposure to data breaches, but the site should implement basic security best practices to protect visitors and improve trust. Overall, the security posture requires enhancements to meet modern standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Ensure HTTPS is enforced site-wide with valid SSL/TLS certificates.
  4. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users.
  5. Add incident response contact information and consider a vulnerability disclosure policy to improve security transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a simple and clean HTML5 UP template with CSS and JavaScript for basic interactivity. The tech stack is minimal with no CMS detected, indicating low technical complexity. Hosting and domain registration are handled by a German registrar, consistent with the organization's location. Performance is moderate with no advanced optimization or analytics tools detected. Mobile optimization is basic but functional. The site lacks accessibility features and SEO enhancements such as meta descriptions or Open Graph tags. Technical debt is low due to simplicity but modernization opportunities exist to improve security, compliance, and user 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.
