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

Kontakt Stiftung is a German non-profit foundation focused on promoting science, research, education, volunteerism, and communication networking primarily in the sports sector. The foundation collaborates with partners such as the Deutscher Schwimm-Verband and trainersuchportal.de to support projects and initiatives that foster community spirit in sports. Their website provides information about ongoing and completed projects, scholarships, and donation opportunities, targeting sports organizations, educational institutions, and volunteers. Technically, the website is built using the Hugo static site generator and employs modern frontend libraries including Bootstrap, jQuery, Flickity, and others to deliver a responsive and visually appealing user experience. The site is hosted with INWX, a reputable German registrar and hosting provider. Performance and mobile optimization are good, though accessibility features are basic. SEO is adequately addressed with proper meta tags and structured navigation. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and does not expose sensitive data. However, it lacks explicit security headers and a formal security policy or incident response contact. No cookie consent mechanism is present, which may affect GDPR compliance. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is found. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with additional best practices. The domain WHOIS data is consistent with the website content and business purpose, showing no suspicious patterns. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing business credibility. The site is safe for general audiences with no adult or questionable content detected. Strategic recommendations include implementing cookie consent, enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and adding vulnerability disclosure mechanisms to improve compliance and trust.

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. 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

Kontakt Stiftung operates as a small-sized non-profit entity within the German sports and education sectors. Its market positioning is niche, focusing on fostering community and volunteerism in sports through funding and project support. The foundation's business model revolves around grant-making, partnerships, and donations. Key competitive advantages include strong partnerships with recognized organizations like the Deutscher Schwimm-Verband and a clear mission aligned with social good. The foundation targets sports clubs, educational bodies, and volunteers, indicating a focused customer segment. Growth indicators include active blog content and ongoing project updates. The partnership ecosystem is well integrated with related domains supporting their initiatives. Overall, the foundation maintains a professional and credible online presence consistent with its mission.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and no sensitive data leakage is observed. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. There is no visible incident response or security policy documentation, which limits transparency and preparedness. GDPR compliance is partially addressed through a privacy policy but lacks cookie consent mechanisms. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present, which could hinder responsible vulnerability reporting. The security culture appears basic but can be enhanced by adopting industry best practices and formalizing security governance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen web security.
  3. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Create and maintain a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Hugo static site generator, leveraging a modern frontend stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, Flickity for carousels, and other libraries for animations and UI enhancements. The site is hosted via INWX, a reputable German provider, ensuring reliable DNS and domain management. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization, though accessibility is basic. SEO is well addressed with canonical links and meta tags. No analytics or tracking scripts are detected, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. The technical implementation is solid with opportunities for improvement in accessibility and security headers.
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.
