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

The website nepomuk-bayreuth.de serves as the official online presence for the Catholic parish offices of St. Johannes Nepomuk and Heilig Geist in Bayreuth, Germany. It provides parishioners and local community members with information about church services, events, staff, and contact details. The site is positioned as a local religious institution focused on community engagement and spiritual services. The business model is non-profit, serving the religious and social needs of its audience. Technically, the website employs a modern frontend stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, Font Awesome, and specialized plugins such as Revolution Slider and JWPlayer. It uses a CMS likely based on FlexiWeb and is hosted on infrastructure associated with kirche-bamberg.de. The site is mobile-optimized and includes accessibility features, though these could be enhanced. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in SEO and accessibility. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses a cookie consent banner with granular user controls. It integrates Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection and Matomo analytics with options for anonymous tracking, demonstrating a commitment to privacy compliance. However, it lacks advanced security headers like Content-Security-Policy and does not publish a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional, with clear contact information and links to official Catholic organizations. It contains no adult or questionable content and is suitable for a general audience. Recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy, and improving SEO and accessibility to further strengthen its digital maturity and security posture.

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.

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

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

Nepomuk-Bayreuth operates as a small, local religious organization within the government and non-profit sectors. Its market position is that of a community-focused parish providing spiritual services and information to residents of Bayreuth. The website supports community engagement through news, event listings, and detailed information about church services and staff. It maintains partnerships with regional Catholic organizations and uses trusted external domains for resources and references. The business model relies on community service rather than commercial revenue streams. Growth indicators are limited but the site reflects consistent content updates and active community involvement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent mechanisms comply with GDPR requirements. The use of Google reCAPTCHA and Matomo analytics with anonymous tracking options indicates awareness of privacy and bot mitigation. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or security policy pages are published, and no vulnerability disclosure mechanism is available. The site does not expose sensitive data or show signs of vulnerabilities but would benefit from implementing recommended security best practices to enhance protection and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a security.txt file to provide a clear vulnerability disclosure channel.
  2. Implement Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options headers to strengthen security.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Improve SEO metadata and structured data to increase search engine visibility and content discoverability.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of well-known frontend technologies including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, Font Awesome for icons, and specialized plugins like Revolution Slider and JWPlayer for media content. It integrates Google reCAPTCHA for spam protection and Matomo for analytics, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. The CMS appears to be FlexiWeb, a platform used by church organizations in the region. Hosting is likely provided by kirche-bamberg.de infrastructure. Performance is moderate with some optimization opportunities. The site is mobile-friendly and has basic accessibility features but could improve in semantic markup and ARIA roles. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data like JSON-LD detected.
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.
