Security score

40/100

Risk levelHigh

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

The Oskar von Miller Forum is a Bavarian educational institution focused on the construction industry, particularly architecture, civil engineering, and ecology. It organizes events and supports scholarship recipients to foster expertise and responsibility for a sustainable future. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with detailed event information and multimedia content, targeting professionals and students in related fields. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins and integrations, hosted by Schlundtech, and optimized for mobile use. Security posture is good with HTTPS and anti-spam measures but lacks some security headers and explicit privacy compliance documentation. Overall, the site is trustworthy and well-maintained but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures.

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

12 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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 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

  4. 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

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 forum occupies a niche educational and non-profit sector within the Bavarian construction industry, leveraging events and scholarships to build community and knowledge. Its market position is that of a respected thought leader and discussion platform. The business model is event-driven with educational outreach, targeting architects, engineers, and ecological experts. The presence of multilingual support and social media channels indicates an intent to reach a broader audience. The lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a controlled communication approach, likely centralized through forms. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed but includes affiliations with architectural firms and universities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to high security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, anti-spam protection via CleanTalk, and bot detection scripts. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. There is no public vulnerability disclosure or incident response contact information, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Compliance with GDPR is not clearly documented, representing a potential compliance gap.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance security posture.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide clear contact information for security incidents or data protection officer to improve incident response readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to minimize vulnerability risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using a modern tech stack including Yoast SEO, CleanTalk anti-spam, WPML for multilingual support, and Swiper.js for interactive carousels. Hosting is provided by Schlundtech, a reputable German hosting provider. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and layouts. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading and lazy loading of images. SEO is well addressed with canonical tags, Open Graph metadata, and JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with more ARIA attributes and semantic HTML enhancements. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience but has room for security and compliance improvements.
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.
