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. 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

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

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 website operates as an informational and engagement platform primarily serving the energy and government sectors. It leverages partnerships with local government and specialized companies such as Regina GmbH. The business model focuses on providing educational content, event information, and resources related to climate protection and renewable energy. The target audience includes local residents, businesses, schools, and energy consultants. The site’s market position is that of a regional authority-backed portal, which enhances credibility and trust. Revenue streams are not explicit but likely supported by public funding or partnerships. The presence of detailed event calendars and consulting information indicates active community involvement and outreach. The partnership ecosystem includes local government and service providers, supporting a collaborative approach to climate initiatives.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR. The use of Matomo analytics indicates a preference for privacy-friendly tracking. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness. Overall, the site follows good security practices for a public informational portal but should consider adding additional HTTP security headers and formalizing incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Regularly audit and update all WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate risks from outdated components.
  4. Consider adding explicit incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with WCAG standards and broaden audience reach.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building and several plugins for event management (The Events Calendar, Event Tickets), GDPR compliance (Complianz), and enhanced content management (Jet Engine). The tech stack is modern and widely supported, facilitating ease of maintenance and extensibility. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured data. The site uses Matomo for analytics, favoring privacy. Some inline CSS and JavaScript are used for UI enhancements and lazy loading. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The site could benefit from improved security headers and further accessibility enhancements. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business goals effectively with room for incremental improvements.
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.
