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. 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 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. 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 organization targets educational institutions, policymakers, and individuals interested in diversity and technology in Germany. Its business model is non-profit, focusing on advocacy, data provision, and community building. The presence of a data tool for MINT and social studies sectors indicates a data-driven approach to influence policy and education. Partnerships with initiatives like Klischeefrei and ECWT enhance credibility and outreach. The website content and structure support a medium-sized organization with 79 employees and 25 years of experience, indicating maturity and stability in the sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, use of Google reCAPTCHA v3 on forms to prevent spam, and a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. Matomo analytics is configured to respect Do Not Track and disables cookies, enhancing privacy. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure page suggests areas for improvement in transparency and readiness. No security.txt file was found. Overall, the site is secure but could enhance its security communication and incident handling capabilities.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and frameworks.
  2. Implement and publish an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure process, including a security.txt file.
  3. Add contact information for a Data Protection Officer or privacy contact to enhance GDPR compliance transparency.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance user trust by providing more visible certifications and security badges on the website.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and well-supported technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, Owl Carousel for sliders, and Magnific Popup for modals. It employs Matomo for privacy-focused analytics and Google reCAPTCHA v3 for form protection. The CMS appears to be a custom or proprietary system named 'Kompetenzz'. Hosting is managed via GoDaddy DNS servers, indicating professional domain management. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and lazy loading of images. Accessibility is addressed with ARIA labels and keyboard navigation support. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with opportunities for performance optimization and enhanced security transparency.
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.
