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

The website www.klimaschutz.de represents the Nationale Klimaschutzinitiative, an official climate protection initiative under the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action. It serves as a platform to promote climate protection projects, provide information, and foster a community for citizens, companies, and municipalities engaged in climate action. The site is well-branded, professional, and targets a broad German audience interested in sustainability and energy efficiency. Technically, the site is built on Drupal 10, leveraging modern web technologies including Matomo for analytics and Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant cookie management. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and performs moderately well. Security best practices such as HTTPS and consent management are implemented, though some security headers could be improved. From a security perspective, the site shows a good posture with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of explicit security or incident response policies and minimal WHOIS registrant information slightly reduce trust. The domain uses managed IP name servers, which is common but lacks registrant transparency. Overall, the website is a trustworthy, professional government initiative with strong privacy compliance and a solid technical foundation. Strategic improvements in security headers, incident response transparency, and WHOIS data disclosure would further enhance its security and credibility.

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

3 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. 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 Nationale Klimaschutzinitiative operates as a government-funded program focused on energy and climate protection in Germany. Its market position is strong due to official backing by the Federal Ministry. The business model centers on funding and supporting climate projects, providing information, and community engagement. Revenue streams are likely government budget allocations. The target customers include citizens, businesses, and local governments interested in climate initiatives. The partnership ecosystem includes technology providers like Cookiebot and Matomo for compliance and analytics. Growth indicators include active community features and ongoing funding programs. The initiative benefits from high trust due to government affiliation but could improve transparency in domain registration.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and integration of a reputable cookie consent management system (Cookiebot). The login form uses secure password fields, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML. However, some common security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options are not explicitly detected and should be verified server-side. There is no visible incident response or security policy page, which is a compliance gap. WHOIS data lacks registrant details, which may be a concern for domain trust. Overall, the site is secure but could enhance transparency and header configurations to improve defense in depth.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers including X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to prevent clickjacking and MIME sniffing.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies to improve transparency and compliance.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
  4. Enhance WHOIS registrant information disclosure to improve domain trustworthiness.
  5. Maintain and monitor cookie consent mechanisms to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and widely supported CMS, indicating good technical infrastructure. It uses Matomo for privacy-friendly analytics and Cookiebot for consent management, reflecting a mature approach to privacy and data protection. The site loads with moderate performance and is mobile-optimized with good accessibility features. The use of managed IP name servers suggests professional hosting but lacks detailed registrant transparency. The technical stack is modern and well-integrated, though performance tuning and security header enhancements could be beneficial to reduce technical debt and improve resilience.
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.
