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

Jugend will sich-er-leben (JWSL) is a German non-profit prevention program focused on occupational safety and health for apprentices. It provides educational materials, competitions, and media resources primarily targeting vocational schools, teachers, and training companies. The program is affiliated with the statutory accident insurance and the DGUV, positioning it as a recognized entity in the education and government sectors within Germany. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS with modern frontend frameworks like Bootstrap and uses Video.js for media playback. However, the site suffers from a critical security deficiency as it lacks a valid SSL certificate and does not support HTTPS, exposing users to potential risks. Privacy compliance is addressed with a cookie consent mechanism and a privacy policy, but no terms of service or incident response contacts are found. Overall, the site offers good content and user experience but requires urgent security improvements.

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.

Priority findings

6 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

      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';…

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

JWSL operates as an important educational and prevention program with a clear focus on apprentices and vocational education in Germany. Its business model is non-profit, supported by statutory accident insurance bodies and delivered through regional DGUV associations. The program's competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive didactic materials and engagement through competitions and multimedia content. The target audience includes apprentices, teachers, and training companies, with a nationwide reach. The website's partnership ecosystem includes Ionos as hosting and mail provider. Growth indicators include active social media engagement and yearly thematic campaigns. Strategic observations suggest strengthening digital security and expanding incident response transparency to enhance trust.

Security posture

The website's security posture is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS support, which is a critical vulnerability. No modern TLS protocols are enabled, and security headers beyond SPF are missing. The absence of DMARC and DNSSEC reduces email security. While no subdomain takeover vulnerabilities were detected, the lack of HSTS and OCSP stapling further weakens SSL security. The cookie consent mechanism and privacy policy indicate some privacy awareness, but incident response and security policy documentation are absent. This exposes the organization to risks including data interception, phishing, and reduced user trust. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS and email security configurations is recommended.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3) and disable all insecure protocols.
  3. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload options.
  4. Add a DMARC record to improve email authentication and reduce phishing risks.
  5. Deploy additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  6. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  7. Optimize website performance to reduce load times and improve user experience.
  8. Continue maintaining and enhancing privacy compliance mechanisms including cookie consent and data protection notices.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging Bootstrap for responsive design and Video.js for video playback, indicating a modern and flexible technology stack. Hosting and email services are provided by Ionos, as evidenced by DNS and SPF records. The site includes accessibility features such as skip links and contrast/font size controls, enhancing usability. However, the lack of HTTPS and valid SSL certificate is a major technical deficiency. Performance is moderate to slow with a load time of approximately 5.9 seconds and 48 resource requests. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site uses Matomo for analytics, which is privacy-friendly. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but requires urgent security upgrades and performance optimization.
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.
