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

3 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 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. 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

Business profile

Mediacampus Frankfurt operates in the education and media sectors, focusing on professional development for the book trade and publishing industry. Its business model revolves around providing specialized seminars, training, and webinars to a targeted audience of media professionals and trainees. The company leverages digital channels and social media to engage its audience and maintain market relevance. The lack of visible privacy and security policies suggests an opportunity to strengthen compliance and trust. The hosting and domain registration are consistent with a legitimate medium-sized educational entity based in Germany, supporting its credibility and operational stability.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and conditional loading of analytics scripts based on cookie consent, reflecting privacy awareness. However, the absence of explicit security headers and published security policies or incident response contacts indicates areas for enhancement. No vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were detected in the analyzed content. The WHOIS data supports legitimacy, and no privacy protection masking the registrant was found, which is appropriate for this business type. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from formalized security documentation and header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Provide a publicly accessible security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and user rights related to personal data.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with JavaScript, Algolia for search, and Google Tag Manager for analytics, loaded asynchronously after cookie consent. The site is hosted on Anexia, a reputable hosting provider, and uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. The HTML structure supports accessibility and mobile responsiveness. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph tags. No CMS was explicitly detected. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. The site lacks some security headers which could improve security posture. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with minor areas for improvement.
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.
