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

4 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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

DJH holds a leading market position in the German youth hostel and group travel sector, leveraging its extensive network and long-standing reputation. The organization benefits from a high volume of positive guest reviews, indicating strong customer trust and satisfaction. The business model is non-profit, focusing on social values such as tolerance, inclusion, and cultural exchange. The website supports multiple languages, enhancing accessibility for international visitors. Partnerships include membership and blog subdomains, reinforcing community engagement and member services.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration and employs a consent management platform to comply with privacy regulations. Security best practices include ad data redaction and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of explicit security headers and a published security policy or incident response contact reduces the overall security maturity. No vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected in the provided content. Recommendations include adding security headers, publishing a security policy, and implementing a vulnerability disclosure mechanism.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages.
  2. Add HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Introduce a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Enhance contact information visibility by including verified company emails and phone numbers.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS, a robust and mature content management system, combined with Vue.js for dynamic search components. Analytics are handled via Matomo and Google Tag Manager, integrated with Usercentrics for GDPR-compliant consent management. The site is well-structured with proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data for SEO. Performance is moderate, with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. Hosting details are not explicitly identified but the domain uses dedicated name servers consistent with the organization. No critical technical issues were found.
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.
