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

NaturFreunde Deutschlands is a well-established non-profit organization dedicated to environmental protection, gentle tourism, sports, and cultural activities in Germany. With over 70,000 members and a network of 400 Naturfreundehäuser, the organization provides accommodation and event spaces to its community. The website serves as a portal to locate these houses and offers detailed information about each facility. Technically, the site is built on Drupal 7, utilizing various JavaScript libraries including OpenLayers for mapping and Matomo for privacy-conscious analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and presents a professional design with clear navigation. Security-wise, HTTPS is enforced, but the absence of security headers and use of an outdated jQuery version are areas for improvement. Privacy compliance is limited as no explicit privacy or cookie policies were found on the analyzed page. Overall, the website is trustworthy and safe for general audiences, with no adult or questionable content detected.

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. 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
  • 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

NaturFreunde Deutschlands operates in the non-profit sector, focusing on environmental and cultural engagement. Its large membership base and extensive network of houses position it as a significant player in the German environmental and tourism community. The business model revolves around providing community-oriented services rather than commercial profit. The website supports this by offering detailed listings of accommodation and event venues. The organization likely generates revenue through membership fees and event hosting. The technical infrastructure indicates a mature but somewhat dated platform, suggesting potential modernization opportunities. Partnerships or subsidiaries are not explicitly identified in the data. The organization’s market presence is stable with a clear target audience of environmentally conscious individuals, families, and groups seeking sustainable tourism options.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with mandatory HTTPS enabled, ensuring encrypted communication. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.12) may expose the site to known vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or obvious vulnerabilities were detected in the analyzed content. The absence of explicit security or incident response policies and contact channels indicates room for improvement in security governance and transparency. The use of Matomo analytics reflects a privacy-conscious approach to user tracking. Overall, the site is secure enough for its purpose but would benefit from enhanced security controls and policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to strengthen web security.
  2. Update JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest stable versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish clear and comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  4. Provide explicit contact information and a security incident response policy to enhance trust and readiness.
  5. Consider modernizing the CMS platform or upgrading Drupal to a supported version for better security and performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 7, a mature but aging CMS platform, supplemented by JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.12, OpenLayers for interactive maps, and Matomo for analytics. The site uses multiple CSS files and JavaScript assets loaded asynchronously or deferred to optimize performance. Mobile optimization is good, with viewport meta tags and responsive CSS. SEO is supported by canonical links and meta descriptions. The site lacks modern security headers and uses an outdated jQuery version, which could pose security risks. Hosting details are partially inferred from name servers (werk21system.de), suggesting a managed hosting environment. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in asset optimization and security hardening. Accessibility features are basic but present. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the organization's needs but would benefit from modernization and enhanced security practices.
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.
