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

KATE Umwelt & Entwicklung e.V. is a small environmental consultancy based in Stuttgart, Germany, specializing in climate management, sustainability consulting, and educational services for companies and social institutions. Their offerings include climate risk analysis according to ISO 14090 and support for sustainability reporting under VSME standards. The website is professionally designed using the Wix platform, featuring modern JavaScript technologies and error monitoring via Sentry. However, the site lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, which are important for GDPR compliance. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced, but security headers are not evident, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. Overall, the domain appears legitimate though WHOIS data is unavailable due to privacy protection or query issues.

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. 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';…
  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  3. 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

The company operates in a niche market focused on environmental and sustainability consulting, targeting businesses and social organizations in Germany. Their business model revolves around consultancy and training services, leveraging recognized standards like ISO 14090 to establish credibility. The website's use of structured data and professional branding supports their market positioning. Absence of social media links and limited contact channels may restrict outreach. No advertising or affiliate marketing is present, indicating a focus on organic client acquisition. The company likely maintains a small operational size with specialized expertise.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses modern JavaScript polyfills and error monitoring tools, indicating a baseline security awareness. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. The lack of privacy and cookie policies, as well as missing incident response contacts, represent compliance and operational gaps. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by implementing recommended headers, formal policies, and incident response mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publicly display a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear terms of service and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to avoid introducing vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimizations to improve user experience and reach.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Wix platform, utilizing modern JavaScript polyfills to support browser compatibility and Sentry for error monitoring. Hosting is provided by Wix's Parastorage infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. SEO is basic with proper meta tags and Open Graph data, but could be enhanced with more comprehensive content and structured data. Accessibility is basic and could benefit from improvements. No CMS other than Wix is detected. The technical stack is appropriate for a small consultancy but lacks advanced customization or security hardening.
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.
