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

Lebendige Luppe is a German non-profit environmental project focused on the revitalization of the Elster-Luppe floodplain area from Leipzig to Schkeuditz. The project involves ecological restoration, environmental education, and scientific research, led by the City of Leipzig, the City of Schkeuditz, and NABU Sachsen. Although the project officially ended in 2023, the website remains active to provide ongoing information and resources. The site is well-structured, content-rich, and targets environmentally conscious citizens, educators, and researchers. Technically, the website uses a REDAXO CMS with common frontend libraries such as Bootstrap and jQuery, providing good mobile responsiveness and user experience. Security posture is moderate with some gaps such as missing security headers and no visible incident response contacts. Privacy compliance is good with cookie consent and obfuscated emails. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professionally maintained, serving as an informational hub for the project and its stakeholders.

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

5 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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

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 website represents a regional environmental initiative with strong partnerships between municipal governments and conservation organizations. Its business model is non-profit, relying on public funding and grants from federal and state environmental agencies. The project targets local communities, educators, and environmental professionals, offering educational materials and scientific data. The site demonstrates consistent branding and trust signals such as awards and official funding logos. The partnership ecosystem includes universities and research centers, enhancing credibility and outreach. Growth indicators include ongoing updates and event announcements despite project completion. The website supports transparency and community engagement but lacks commercial revenue streams.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level. Positive aspects include the use of email obfuscation to reduce spam and a cookie consent mechanism indicating privacy awareness. However, the absence of explicit HTTP security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS), no visible HTTPS enforcement data, and lack of incident response contact information represent gaps. No forms are present, reducing attack surface, but also limiting user interaction. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosures or security policies. The site would benefit from implementing standard security headers, HTTPS enforcement, and publishing incident response contacts to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTPS site-wide with strong SSL/TLS configuration.
  2. Add standard HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Regularly update all third-party libraries and CMS components to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by providing detailed cookie and data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the REDAXO CMS platform, utilizing Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity. Additional libraries include Popper.js, FontAwesome for icons, and Lightbox.js for image display. The site uses an email obfuscator addon to protect email addresses from scraping. The HTML is well-structured with meta tags for viewport and Open Graph image/title. Performance is moderate with no heavy scripts detected. Mobile optimization is good due to Bootstrap usage. SEO is basic with proper meta tags but no structured data (JSON-LD) found. Accessibility is basic with some ARIA attributes missing. The site lacks advanced frameworks or platforms but is sufficient for its informational purpose.
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.
