Kieler Pilzfreunde e.V. is a small non-profit association based in Germany focused on mushroom education, conservation, and community engagement. The website provides information about mushroom identification, courses, exhibitions, and artistic projects involving fungi. It targets mushroom enthusiasts, nature lovers, and local community members including adults and children. The business model relies on memberships, donations, and event participation.
Technically, the website is built using Incomedia WebSite X5 CMS with jQuery and standard web technologies. The site has moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. SEO is reasonably addressed with meta tags and structured navigation. However, there is no visible cookie consent mechanism or advanced accessibility features.
From a security perspective, the site lacks visible security headers and explicit HTTPS confirmation in the provided data, which lowers its security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy present but no cookie banner. No incident response or security policies are published.
Overall, the website is functional and trustworthy for its non-profit educational purpose but would benefit from improved security practices, HTTPS verification, and enhanced privacy compliance to strengthen user trust and regulatory adherence.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 local non-profit association dedicated to mycology and nature conservation. It holds events such as mushroom exhibitions and educational courses, generating revenue through memberships and donations. The target market is regional mushroom enthusiasts and families interested in nature. The website content and structure support community engagement and education rather than commercial sales. There is no indication of partnerships or subsidiaries. The business model is sustainable for a small non-profit with a clear mission and community focus.
Security posture
The current security maturity is basic. The absence of security headers and unclear SSL/TLS status are notable gaps. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, indicating limited formal security governance. The site does not appear to collect sensitive personal data directly on the main pages, reducing risk exposure. GDPR compliance is partially addressed via a privacy policy but lacks cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a low-risk non-profit informational site but should be improved to mitigate potential risks and comply fully with data protection regulations.
Recommendations
Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate and verify site-wide HTTPS enforcement.
Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
Introduce a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and inform users about tracking.
Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
Regularly update the CMS and JavaScript libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities and improve performance.

Technical notes
Notes
The website uses Incomedia WebSite X5 Evolution 10.1.12.57 CMS with jQuery and custom JavaScript. The HTML is valid and includes meta tags for SEO. The site uses multiple CSS stylesheets for layout and print media. Performance is moderate with no heavy scripts detected. Mobile optimization is basic with a fixed viewport width of 1000px, which may limit responsiveness on smaller devices. Accessibility features are minimal but navigation is clear. There is no evidence of advanced frameworks or analytics tools. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available from the data.
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.
