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

8 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

  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"

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 as a small educational entity focused on culinary arts, leveraging the Volkshochschule Kaiserslautern brand. Its market position is local/regional with a focus on community engagement through cooking classes and events. Revenue streams likely include course fees for in-person and online classes. The target customers are cooking enthusiasts and learners in the Kaiserslautern area. The website does not show evidence of extensive partnerships beyond its affiliation with the Volkshochschule. The business model is straightforward educational service delivery with a focus on experiential learning and community building.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No incident response or security policy information is published, which limits transparency and preparedness. There are no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. GDPR compliance is partial due to missing cookie consent mechanisms and limited privacy policy details. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small educational site but should be enhanced to meet modern standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers to improve protection against web vulnerabilities.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and update privacy policy to ensure GDPR compliance.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider integrating analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to monitor site usage and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.1.9 with standard plugins and themes (Rosa Lite by Pixelgrade). It uses jQuery and Modernizr for frontend functionality. Hosting is via rzone.de name servers, a common German hosting provider. The site loads external fonts from Google Fonts and emoji scripts from WordPress CDN. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimizations detected. The site is mobile responsive and has basic accessibility features. SEO is basic with meta viewport and canonical tags but lacks advanced structured data or Open Graph metadata. No analytics or tracking scripts are present, indicating minimal technical tracking. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard for a small educational website but could benefit from performance and SEO enhancements.
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.
