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

Makkabi Deutschland e.V. is a prominent Jewish sports federation in Germany, focusing on organizing sports events, youth engagement, and social responsibility initiatives such as anti-antisemitism programs. The organization targets the Jewish community and sports enthusiasts, providing a platform for cultural and athletic activities. The website reflects a medium-sized non-profit entity with a consistent brand presence and active social media engagement. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using Elementor and several plugins to manage events and content, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and uses some security best practices but lacks explicit security policies and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with GDPR, though it could benefit from enhanced security headers and incident response information.

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. 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';…

  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

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

Makkabi Deutschland e.V. holds a strong market position as the leading Jewish sports federation in Germany, leveraging community engagement and social responsibility to differentiate itself. Its business model is non-profit, focusing on community service rather than revenue generation. The organization runs multiple sports and cultural projects, including major events like the Maccabiah and European Maccabi Games. Partnerships such as with TimTrainer.com indicate a collaborative ecosystem. The website content and structure support growth and outreach efforts, targeting youth and volunteers. The lack of detailed financial or founding year information limits deeper business insights but the organization's active event calendar and social media presence suggest sustained operations and community trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and some security headers implied. However, it lacks a published security policy, incident response contacts, and a vulnerability disclosure program, which are important for transparency and trust. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The use of popular CMS and plugins requires regular updates to mitigate risks. The absence of anti-CSRF tokens in forms is a potential concern, though common in WordPress environments. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit but could be improved to align with best practices and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to enhance transparency.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance HTTP security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Ensure all forms include anti-CSRF protections and validate inputs server-side.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of WordPress plugins and core to prevent vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor for page building and WP Rocket for performance optimization. It employs Modern Events Calendar Lite for event management and integrates Font Awesome icons and jQuery libraries. The site uses lazy loading for scripts and images to improve load times. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Mobile optimization is good, though accessibility features are basic. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but DNS uses UI-DNS name servers. Performance is moderate, with opportunities to improve accessibility and security headers. The technical stack is standard for non-profit organizations and supports the site's functional and content needs effectively.
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.
