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

7 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. 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

  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 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 targets apprentices and vocational trainees in Germany, offering them pathways to international work experience through internships. It leverages government and EU funding programs like Erasmus+ and AusbildungWeltweit, positioning itself as a trusted educational resource. The business model is informational and advisory, supported by public funds rather than commercial revenue. The presence of partner domains related to government and funding agencies strengthens its ecosystem. The platform's content quality and navigation support user engagement and growth potential in the vocational education market segment.

Security posture

The site demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, no visible sensitive data exposure, and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for enhancement. No vulnerable or outdated libraries were detected in the scripts. Incident response and security policy disclosures are not publicly available, indicating an area for transparency improvement. Overall, the security risk is low, but adopting additional headers and publishing security policies would strengthen trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options HTTP headers to enhance security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Consider adding a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and liabilities.
  5. Maintain and enhance privacy compliance with ongoing monitoring of cookie and tracking technologies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS, a robust open-source content management system, combined with modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Slick Slider, and Leaflet.js for interactive maps. The site is optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with good SEO practices including meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple large images and sliders. Hosting details are not explicit but DNS points to Bringe.net. The technical stack is well-maintained with no critical issues detected, though some security headers are missing. Overall, the infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly educational platform.
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.
