Risk levelHigh

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

Gemeinschaft Junges Ermland is a small non-profit organization focused on fostering German-Polish youth relations through cultural exchange, societal and religious education, and youth meetings. The organization targets young people aged 16 to 26 and organizes multiple annual events to promote friendship and understanding between Germany and Poland. The website serves as an information hub for events, photo galleries, and blog posts documenting their activities. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using Elementor and several plugins to manage events and user interactions. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and uses HTTPS, indicating a mature digital presence. However, it lacks key compliance documents such as a privacy policy and terms of service, which are critical for GDPR compliance and user trust. Security posture is good with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could improve privacy and compliance documentation.

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. 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

  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)

      • 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 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';…

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

The organization occupies a niche position in the non-profit sector, focusing on youth cultural exchange and education between Germany and Poland. Its competitive advantage lies in its long history (founded in 1947) and active engagement through regular events and youth meetings. The business model is volunteer-driven and community-focused, with no commercial revenue streams evident. The target customer segment is young adults interested in societal and religious topics and international friendship. The website supports this mission with event management and content sharing. Partnerships include a dedicated photo gallery subdomain. Growth indicators include regular blog updates and event postings. Strategic observations suggest strengthening compliance and expanding contact channels could enhance credibility and outreach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data detected. Use of nonce tokens in AJAX calls and absence of vulnerable libraries indicate sound security practices. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents compliance gaps. No security headers were detected in the provided data, which could be improved. The site does not appear to use extensive tracking or advertising scripts, reducing privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is solid for a small non-profit but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page to meet GDPR requirements and improve user trust.
  2. Add terms of service and security policy pages to clarify user rights and organizational security posture.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen defense against common web attacks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor page builder and several well-known plugins for event management, user membership, and galleries. The tech stack includes jQuery, Font Awesome, Google Fonts, and responsive design techniques. Hosting appears to be provided by kasserver.com based on nameservers. Performance is moderate with lazy loading images and optimized CSS. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). There is some technical debt in missing security headers and incomplete privacy documentation. Overall, the infrastructure is stable and suitable for the organization's needs but could be modernized with enhanced security and compliance 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.
