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

The website kirchenrecht-baden.shop operates as a specialized e-commerce platform offering customized and preconfigured legal text collections related to the Evangelische Landeskirche in Baden. It targets users needing authoritative church law documents, providing a configurator tool and direct ordering options. The site is positioned in a niche market with a clear business model and consistent branding, supported by a parent or partner entity linked to wbv.de, a known legal publishing house. Technically, the site is built on the Shopware platform using modern web technologies including JavaScript, CSS, and Google reCAPTCHA for form security. The site is mobile optimized with good SEO and accessibility basics, though some advanced security headers are missing. Hosting and domain registration are consistent with the business location in Germany, with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections in place. Security posture is moderate with good SSL configuration and use of CAPTCHA, but lacks DNSSEC and explicit security policies or incident response contacts. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy linked externally but no visible cookie consent mechanism. Contact information is limited to a contact form without direct emails or phone numbers. Overall, the site presents a professional and trustworthy front for its niche legal service, with recommendations to enhance security headers, enable DNSSEC, and improve 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.

Priority findings

5 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 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 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

    • 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

  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 business focuses on providing legal text collections for the Evangelische Landeskirche in Baden, serving a specialized audience of legal professionals, church officials, and interested parties. Its competitive advantage lies in offering both customizable and preconfigured legal documents, leveraging a partnership with wbv.de for content and sales. The revenue model is e-commerce based on document sales. The company is small, founded in 2021, and operates primarily in Germany. The partnership ecosystem includes wbv.de, which supports legal content and transactional infrastructure. Growth potential is niche but stable given the specialized market. Strategic observations include the need to enhance direct contact options and privacy transparency to improve customer confidence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms. However, it lacks DNSSEC, which could improve DNS security, and no advanced security headers were detected in the HTML content, which could mitigate common web attacks. There is no published security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency and readiness perception. GDPR compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers may hinder incident reporting. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small e-commerce site but could be improved to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to protect against common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Add a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and readiness.
  5. Provide direct contact emails or phone numbers for customer support and security incident reporting.

Notes

The website is built on the Shopware e-commerce platform with a custom theme (SaltationActiveScriptTheme) and uses modern front-end technologies including JavaScript and CSS. It integrates Google reCAPTCHA for form security. The site is mobile responsive and optimized for SEO with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting appears to be managed via InterNetX GmbH, a reputable German registrar and hosting provider. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading. Accessibility is basic but present. Technical debt appears low, though security enhancements are recommended. Overall, the infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with room for modernization in security and privacy features.
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.
