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

The website josefstag.de represents a German non-profit initiative focused on youth social work and youth employment assistance under Catholic auspices. It serves as an informational and networking platform for the annual Josefstag event, which raises awareness and promotes youth participation in social and democratic processes. The site is affiliated with reputable Catholic organizations such as the Bundes der Deutschen Katholischen Jugend (BDKJ) and related partners. Technically, the site is built on TYPO3 CMS, uses Matomo for privacy-conscious analytics, and is hosted with INWX, a German registrar. The site demonstrates good design, accessibility, and SEO practices, with a clear cookie consent mechanism ensuring GDPR compliance. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and no visible vulnerabilities, though some security headers could be improved. Contact information is limited on the site, with no direct emails or phone numbers found, which is typical for such non-profit informational sites. Overall, the site is trustworthy, professional, and well-maintained.

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

9 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. 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: SMB

      Port 445 (SMB) is publicly accessible - SMB - Windows file sharing, high risk

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to SMB 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: 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

  3. 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"

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 · 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

Josefstag.de operates as a small-sized non-profit entity promoting youth social work awareness in Germany. Its market position is well-established within the Catholic youth social work sector, leveraging partnerships with major Catholic organizations. The business model centers on event organization, advocacy, and network building rather than commercial transactions. The target audience includes youth social workers, youth organizations, and church stakeholders. The site provides resources, news, and event information to support decentralized youth actions. The partnership ecosystem includes BDKJ, afj.de, and bagkjs.de, reinforcing its credibility and reach within the sector.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, a cookie consent banner compliant with GDPR, and no exposed sensitive data. The use of Matomo analytics indicates a privacy-respecting approach to user tracking. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are areas for improvement. No signs of malware, phishing, or other security threats were detected. The site would benefit from publishing a security.txt file and enhancing HTTP security headers to further strengthen its security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a security policy or incident response page to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Consider adding clear contact information for security or general inquiries to improve trust and communication.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Notes

The site is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and widely used open-source content management system, ensuring a stable and scalable platform. It uses Matomo analytics for privacy-friendly tracking and includes a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism. Hosting is managed via INWX, a reputable German registrar and hosting provider. The site demonstrates good mobile responsiveness, accessibility features, and SEO optimization with proper meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for the site's purpose, though some improvements in security headers and incident response infrastructure are recommended.
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.
