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

Netzwerk Biodynamische Bildung gGmbH is a German non-profit organization that unites Demeter training initiatives to promote biodynamic agricultural education. The website serves as an information hub and fundraising platform, operating the Demeter Ausbildungsfonds to support new organic farmers. The organization targets aspiring biolandwirte, educational institutions, and supporters of sustainable agriculture. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with common plugins such as Yoast SEO and Borlabs Cookie, hosted on kasserver.com. The site is moderately performant, mobile-optimized, and SEO-friendly, though accessibility features are basic. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and cookie consent but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. No critical vulnerabilities or blocking mechanisms were detected. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and aligned with its non-profit mission.

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

11 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: SMB

      Port 445 (SMB) is publicly accessible - SMB - Windows file sharing, high risk

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to SMB using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 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"

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 · found on this site
  • 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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention netzwerk-biodynamische-bildung.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for netzwerk-biodynamische-bildung.de right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

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 holds a niche position in the biodynamic education sector in Germany, leveraging a network model and fundraising to support organic farming education. Its business model is non-profit, focusing on education, networking, and fund management. The website content and structure indicate active engagement with stakeholders through news updates and calls for sponsorship. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a preference for controlled communication via contact forms. The use of recognized brands like Demeter enhances credibility. Growth potential lies in expanding awareness and funding for biodynamic training programs.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism, reflecting basic compliance with privacy regulations. However, it lacks explicit privacy and security policies, vulnerability disclosure, and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options. No incident response contacts or data protection officer information is provided. The absence of these elements indicates room for improvement in security maturity and GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or known vulnerabilities were identified in the analyzed content.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to enhance transparency and compliance.
  2. Implement security headers (CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate risks from outdated software.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature WordPress platform with popular plugins for SEO, cookie management, and page building. Hosting is provided by kasserver.com, a known German hosting provider. The site uses jQuery and modern JavaScript libraries, with responsive design and moderate performance. SEO is enhanced by Yoast SEO plugin and structured data in JSON-LD format. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No critical technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and privacy compliance features.
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.
