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

6 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

    • 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

  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 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.

Business context

Business profile

NABU|naturgucker operates as a medium-sized non-profit entity within the environmental conservation sector, leveraging community-generated content to build a rich biodiversity database. Its business model focuses on engagement and data sharing rather than commercial revenue, supported by partnerships within the NABU ecosystem. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its extensive species and regional data coverage and integration with NABU's broader conservation initiatives. Target customers include amateur naturalists, scientists, and environmental organizations. Growth indicators include a large volume of user-submitted observations and multimedia content. The partnership ecosystem is robust, linking to related NABU projects and educational resources, positioning the platform as a key player in German nature conservation digital services.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, including HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and Content-Security-Policy with nonce usage. No outdated or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided scripts. Forms appear to be secured with event handlers and no exposed sensitive information is present in the HTML. However, there is no explicit incident response or security policy page found, which could be an area for improvement. GDPR compliance is evident through privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the platform maintains a secure environment appropriate for a non-profit community site, with recommendations to enhance CSP reporting and mobile security.

Recommendations

  1. Enhance mobile optimization to improve security and user experience on mobile devices.
  2. Implement a dedicated security policy and incident response page to increase transparency and preparedness.
  3. Adopt Content-Security-Policy reporting mechanisms to monitor and respond to security incidents.
  4. Regularly update all third-party libraries and frameworks to their latest secure versions.
  5. Improve SEO and accessibility features to broaden reach and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom IntraWeb framework combined with modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 3.6.0, jQuery UI 1.13.1, Bootstrap 4.3.1, and Google Maps API for interactive features. Hosting is managed by 1&1 IONOS, indicated by the nameservers. The site has moderate performance and basic mobile responsiveness. The HTML and CSS are valid and well-structured, though some UI elements are hidden or dynamically controlled. There is no evidence of a mainstream CMS, suggesting a custom-built platform. Technical risks include potential outdated dependencies and limited mobile optimization. Opportunities exist for modernization, including progressive web app features and enhanced 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.
