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

7 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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

The Caritasverband für die Erzdiözese Bamberg e.V. operates in the non-profit sector, focusing on child and youth welfare through recreational programs. Their market position is regional within Germany, leveraging the strong Caritas brand. The business model centers on social service provision funded by donations and public support, as indicated by the donation account details. Target customers include children and youth from Upper and Middle Franconia and young adults interested in caregiving roles. The organization benefits from a trusted brand, structured service offerings, and a clear mission. Growth potential lies in expanding program offerings and volunteer recruitment. Partnerships with the broader Caritas network and church institutions support operational stability.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and GDPR-compliant privacy and cookie policies. Use of Matomo analytics reflects a privacy-conscious approach. However, the absence of explicit security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) and lack of published security or incident response policies represent gaps. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, limiting transparency for security researchers. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security risk is low but could be improved by adopting additional best practices and formalizing security communications.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  3. Add a terms of service page to clarify user rights and obligations.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities and update accordingly.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing data retention policies and more detailed privacy disclosures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the alkacon Mercury CMS platform, a specialized content management system used by church and non-profit organizations. It uses JavaScript for interactivity and accessibility enhancements, including the eyeAble plugin for improved usability. Matomo analytics is integrated for user tracking with privacy considerations. The site is hosted on servers managed by internet1.de, as indicated by the nameservers. Performance is moderate with responsive images and mobile optimization in place. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for the organization's needs, though opportunities exist to improve security headers and formalize technical policies.
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.
