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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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 Mädchenzentrum Osnabrück operates as a small-sized non-profit entity focused on social services for girls and young women in Germany. Its business model revolves around community engagement, counseling, and educational projects. The organization leverages partnerships with local institutions for data protection and operational support, enhancing its credibility and compliance posture. The website serves as an informational and engagement platform rather than a commercial storefront, emphasizing transparency and accessibility. Market positioning is local and community-centric, with a clear target audience of youth and stakeholders in social welfare. The absence of commercial advertising and affiliate programs aligns with its non-profit status. Growth indicators are not explicit but the presence of online offerings and podcasts suggests digital engagement efforts. The partnership ecosystem includes Haus Neuer Kamp e.V. and Diakonisches Werk, indicating strong local institutional ties.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and Joomla's built-in CSRF tokens are present, reducing common web vulnerabilities. The cookie consent mechanism is robust and GDPR compliant, with detailed disclosures on data processing and third-party integrations such as Google Maps, YouTube, and Google Web Fonts. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a potential area for enhancement. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies are not publicly documented, which could limit rapid response capabilities in case of security incidents. Overall, the security culture appears compliant with legal requirements but could benefit from formalized policies and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance browser security.
  2. Publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy, including a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Regularly update Joomla CMS and all plugins to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider adding a terms of service page to clarify user rights and responsibilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS with the Yootheme template and uses UIkit and jQuery for frontend interactivity. It integrates Google Web Fonts, Google Maps, and YouTube embeds, relying on external services for enhanced user experience. The hosting appears to be managed by NW-Team based on nameserver data. Performance is moderate with responsive design and mobile optimization evident. SEO is basic with proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No critical technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. The site uses a cookie consent plugin with advanced settings, indicating attention to privacy compliance. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and suitable for the organization's needs.
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.
