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

    • 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

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 positions itself as a regional leader in alternative and special education, leveraging Waldorf pedagogy principles. Its business model is non-profit and community-focused, serving students from early childhood through vocational preparation. The presence of multiple specialized schools and programs indicates a diversified service offering. Partnerships with related youth assistance and anthroposophical organizations enhance its ecosystem. The website's event calendar and news updates suggest active community engagement. Revenue streams likely include public funding and tuition fees. The digital footprint is modest but functional, supporting outreach and information dissemination.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of anti-spam measures like honeypot fields. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and HSTS reduces its defense-in-depth. No explicit vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, which could hinder rapid response to security events. The use of popular WordPress plugins necessitates regular updates to mitigate known vulnerabilities. No sensitive data exposure or insecure forms were detected. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an informational site but could be improved to align with best practices and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to enhance protection.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and improve privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress core and plugins to minimize vulnerability risks.
  5. Consider enhancing mobile optimization and accessibility features to improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3, utilizing jQuery and several plugins such as Yoast SEO, Contact Form 7, Event Organiser, and Popup Maker. The hosting provider is likely associated with kasserver.com based on nameservers. Performance is moderate with standard frontend scripts and stylesheets loaded. The site uses classic HTML and CSS with some legacy IE support styles. SEO is enhanced by Yoast plugin with proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. Accessibility and mobile responsiveness are basic but functional. There is room for modernization by adopting newer JavaScript frameworks and improving performance optimizations.
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.
