Security score

43/100

Risk levelHigh

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

The website www.ordensjahr.de represents a non-profit initiative by German religious orders offering a voluntary year of community living, prayer, work, and learning. It targets individuals at various life stages seeking spiritual and personal growth through immersion in religious community life. The site is built on TYPO3 CMS, indicating a mature technical infrastructure with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS implied, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism detected. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-branded, though improvements in security and privacy transparency are recommended.

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

10 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: 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
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL 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 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.

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 operates in the non-profit religious sector, focusing on spiritual volunteering programs. Its market position is niche, serving individuals interested in faith-based community experiences. The business model is service-oriented without commercial transactions visible on the site. The partnership with www.orden.de strengthens its credibility and outreach. Growth potential lies in expanding awareness and participation in the voluntary year program. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage suggests a controlled communication approach, likely centralized on the contact form. The site’s content and structure support clear messaging and user engagement within its target audience.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS usage and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces its defense-in-depth. No incident response or security policy information is published, which could hinder trust in case of security events. The lack of cookie consent mechanisms may pose GDPR compliance risks. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing recommended best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
  4. Improve accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  5. Add a terms of service page to clarify user rights and obligations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used open-source content management system, ensuring maintainability and scalability. Frontend uses Swiper.js for interactive sliders, enhancing user experience. Hosting is via domaincontrol.com nameservers, indicating use of GoDaddy or related hosting services. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization but basic accessibility and SEO features. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, which may limit marketing insights but improves privacy. The site structure is clear and content is well organized, supporting user navigation and engagement. Technical risks are low but could be mitigated further by updating security headers and privacy mechanisms.
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.
