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

3 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 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. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 organization operates as a non-profit educational entity under the Catholic Church's umbrella, targeting individuals interested in lifelong learning and cultural activities. Its business model revolves around providing educational content and events rather than commercial sales. The website reflects a consistent branding strategy aligned with its parent organization, Erzbistum Paderborn. The presence of Matomo analytics indicates a focus on understanding visitor behavior while respecting privacy. The lack of advertising networks suggests a non-commercial approach. The organization maintains transparency through clear contact information and privacy policies, supporting trust and compliance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and the Wordfence plugin active, which protects against common web threats. Cookie consent management is implemented in compliance with GDPR, and no sensitive data exposure was detected. However, the absence of security headers and a published security policy or incident response plan indicates room for improvement. The site does not provide a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, which could enhance transparency and trust. Overall, the security measures are adequate for the organization's size and sector but could be strengthened to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Maintain regular updates of WordPress core and plugins to mitigate emerging vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance monitoring and logging capabilities to improve incident detection and response.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using a modern theme and plugins including Yoast SEO for search engine optimization, Real Cookie Banner Pro for cookie consent management, and Wordfence for security. It uses jQuery and other JavaScript libraries for frontend interactivity. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Analytics are handled via Matomo, a privacy-friendly analytics platform. Hosting details are not explicitly identified, but DNS uses myradns.de name servers. Performance is moderate, with preloading of fonts and scripts. The technical stack is well-maintained with no obvious technical debt or deprecated technologies.
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.
