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

6 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

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 Kirchentag operates as a medium-sized non-profit entity focused on faith-based cultural festivals that attract thousands of participants. Its business model revolves around event management, community involvement, and fundraising through donations and partnerships. The organization leverages digital channels effectively for communication and engagement, including social media and newsletters. While no direct revenue streams are visible on the site, the presence of donation and sponsorship sections indicates diversified funding sources. The website's comprehensive content and consistent branding support its strong market presence. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a preference for controlled communication channels, likely to manage inquiries efficiently. The organization appears well-positioned within its niche with potential for growth through digital engagement and expanded partnerships.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid baseline security posture with enforced HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No security policy or incident response contacts are published, which could hinder vulnerability reporting and incident management. The use of Matomo analytics indicates a privacy-respecting approach to user tracking. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, suitable for a non-profit event site but with room to enhance defenses and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide dedicated incident response contact channels to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve trust.
  3. Conduct regular security audits to identify and remediate any potential vulnerabilities in third-party libraries or CMS extensions.
  4. Enhance transparency by including direct contact information for data protection officers or security personnel.
  5. Maintain and update cookie and privacy policies regularly to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system suitable for complex sites. The integration of Bootstrap-like classes suggests responsive design practices, ensuring good mobile optimization. The use of Matomo analytics reflects a commitment to privacy-friendly data collection. Performance appears moderate, with compressed CSS and JS assets indicating optimization efforts. The site uses modern HTML5 and meta tags for SEO and social sharing (Open Graph, Twitter cards). No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected. Hosting details are not explicit, but the use of custom name servers indicates managed DNS services. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence.
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.
