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. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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 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 operates within the government and non-profit sectors focusing on environmental sustainability and climate neutrality. Its niche positioning supports municipalities in Germany, likely funded or supported by governmental or environmental organizations. The business model revolves around information dissemination and event facilitation rather than direct commercial transactions. The use of TYPO3 CMS and Google Analytics indicates a moderate level of digital maturity. The absence of explicit contact details and terms of service suggests a primarily informational role rather than a commercial enterprise. The partnership ecosystem is not evident from the analyzed content, and no subsidiaries or parent companies are identified.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements a cookie consent banner, indicating awareness of privacy and security best practices. However, no explicit security headers were detected in the provided content, and no published security or incident response policies were found. The use of an older jQuery version (2.1.x) may pose potential vulnerabilities if not regularly updated. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the content. The security score is moderate, with recommendations to enhance header security, publish incident response information, and maintain up-to-date libraries to strengthen the security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish clear security and incident response policies accessible to users and stakeholders.
  3. Upgrade third-party libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility features to improve user experience across devices.
  5. Add explicit contact information and terms of service to increase transparency and business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used open-source content management system, indicating a solid technical foundation. The inclusion of Google Analytics shows integration of standard analytics tools. The site uses jQuery 2.1.x, which is an older version and may require updating for security and performance. CSS and JavaScript assets are served from the same domain, suggesting centralized hosting. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility. SEO optimization is basic, with standard meta tags but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. No forms are present on the cookie consent page, limiting data collection vectors. Overall, the technical implementation is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security practices.
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.
