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 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. 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

  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
    • 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

LBV holds a leading position in Bavaria's environmental non-profit sector, leveraging a strong network of volunteers, members, and partners. Its business model revolves around membership fees, donations, educational programs, and partnerships with companies and other organizations. The website integrates multiple social media channels and partner domains to extend its outreach. LBV's strategic focus includes species protection, habitat conservation, climate action, and public awareness, supported by a robust digital presence and community-driven initiatives.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced, comprehensive security headers, and privacy-conscious analytics via Matomo with cookies disabled. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. The site complies with GDPR requirements, including cookie consent mechanisms and a detailed privacy policy.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information to enhance transparency and trust.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party libraries and CMS components to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding explicit contact emails and phone numbers for customer and security-related inquiries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Contao CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Rocksolid Slider, and Colorbox for interactive features. It employs Matomo for privacy-focused analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices, including meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading speed. Hosting appears stable and self-managed, supporting custom analytics infrastructure. Technical debt is minimal, but ongoing maintenance is recommended to keep dependencies current.
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.
