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

FARN is a specialized non-profit organization founded in 2017 by NaturFreunde Deutschlands and Naturfreundejugend Deutschlands. It focuses on researching and preventing radicalization and extremist influences within the nature and environmental protection sectors. The website provides educational content, consulting, and qualification services targeted at environmental actors and youth. Technically, the site is built on Drupal 7 with a moderate performance profile and good mobile optimization. Privacy-conscious analytics via Matomo is implemented with DoNotTrack and cookie disabling, though no explicit cookie consent mechanism is present. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and privacy-respecting analytics but lacks some security headers and published policies. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-branded with clear partner affiliations.

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 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

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

FARN occupies a niche position in the non-profit sector addressing the intersection of environmental protection and radicalization prevention. Its business model revolves around education, consulting, and advocacy, supported by its parent and partner organizations. The organization targets environmental professionals, youth workers, and young adults. The website reflects a consistent brand and provides multiple channels for engagement including events and publications. The partnership ecosystem includes NaturFreunde Deutschlands and Naturfreundejugend Deutschlands, enhancing credibility and reach.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Matomo analytics configured to respect user privacy by disabling cookies and honoring DoNotTrack headers. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which is a gap in transparency and preparedness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with additional headers and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a clear cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and inform users about analytics usage.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen web security.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Consider upgrading Drupal to a more recent version to benefit from improved security features and support.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Drupal 7 CMS with jQuery 1.12 and MediaElement.js for media playback. It employs Matomo for analytics hosted on piwik.werk21system.de with privacy-respecting configurations. The site is hosted on infrastructure associated with werk21system.de as indicated by nameservers and analytics host. The site is mobile optimized with responsive images and viewport settings. Performance is moderate with multiple CSS and JS files loaded. No critical technical issues or broken elements were detected. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack and improve security headers.
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.
