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

4 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 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. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 organization occupies a niche position in the German municipal government and non-profit sector, providing knowledge sharing and capacity building services related to integrated municipal planning for child welfare. Its business model is based on free resources, events, and networking, supported by partner foundations and organizations. The target audience includes municipal administrators, policy makers, and professionals in child and youth services. The presence of partner logos and a professional newsletter indicates a stable partnership ecosystem. The lack of phone contact suggests a primarily digital and email-based communication model. The website content and offerings indicate a focus on thought leadership and community building rather than commercial revenue generation.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a cookie consent plugin compliant with GDPR, indicating a good baseline for privacy and security. However, no explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS were detected, which are recommended to enhance protection against common web attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could be a gap in transparency and readiness. The use of well-known plugins and analytics tools is positive, but regular audits of third-party scripts are advised to mitigate supply chain risks. No signs of exposed credentials or vulnerabilities were found in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved with additional headers and documented incident response.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish an incident response policy or contact channel to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and analytics scripts to avoid vulnerabilities.
  4. Consider adding a terms of service page to clarify user rights and responsibilities.
  5. Enhance contact options by including verified phone numbers or additional contact channels.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using a modern tech stack including Bootstrap 4.3.1 and Mai Engine plugin for theme and layout management. It uses jQuery and several WordPress plugins such as Events Manager and Complianz GDPR for event handling and privacy compliance. Analytics are implemented via Google Analytics and Matomo, managed through Google Tag Manager. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices with good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, likely due to multiple plugins and external scripts. The site uses preloading for fonts and images to improve load times. No hosting provider details were found in the HTML or WHOIS data. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained with room for performance tuning and security 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.
