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. 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

      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

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 organization operates in the education and non-profit sectors, focusing on individualized reading support for children aged 6-16. It is affiliated with the national MENTOR Bundesverband and supported by local cultural institutions. The business model relies on volunteer mentors and partnerships with schools and libraries. The website serves as an information and contact portal for volunteers, parents, and schools. Growth potential exists through volunteer recruitment and community engagement. The partnership ecosystem is strong with local and national educational bodies.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses CSRF tokens and email obfuscation to protect user data. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The security score is moderate, with recommendations to enhance header implementation and document security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining data protection and incident response procedures to increase transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly update Joomla CMS and all third-party libraries to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users, including those with disabilities.
  5. Consider integrating analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to better understand user engagement while maintaining GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Joomla CMS with Bootstrap 5 and jQuery 3.7.1, providing a modern and responsive design. The use of Owl Carousel and Lightbox enhances user interaction with images. The site is hosted on servers indicated by nameservers from agenturserver domains, suggesting a professional hosting environment. Performance is moderate with no explicit speed optimizations detected. SEO is basic with meta description and title tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags. The site includes a GDPR cookie consent banner, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. Technical debt appears low but could be improved with enhanced security headers and accessibility compliance.
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.
