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

The website for Pfarrei Altenbanz und Pfarrei Banz serves as the official online presence of the Catholic parish in Altenbanz and Banz, Germany. It provides parishioners and visitors with information about religious services, sacraments, community events, and contact details. The site is clearly targeted at local community members and those interested in church activities. The business model is non-profit, focusing on spiritual and community services. The website content is well-structured, professionally presented, and consistent with the parish's mission. Technically, the site employs a modern frontend stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, Font Awesome, and specialized plugins like Revolution Slider and JWPlayer. It uses a CMS likely based on FlexiWeb, hosted on servers associated with internet1.de. The site is mobile responsive and includes accessibility features, though these could be enhanced. Analytics are handled via Matomo with privacy-conscious anonymous tracking fallback, and Google reCAPTCHA is used to protect forms. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements a detailed cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. However, it lacks explicit security headers and incident response contact information. No vulnerabilities or suspicious elements were detected in the content or WHOIS data. The domain registration is consistent with the website's purpose, though registrant details are minimal. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with good privacy compliance and a solid technical foundation. Strategic improvements include adding security headers, publishing incident response contacts, and enhancing accessibility. These steps would further strengthen trust and security posture.

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.

Priority findings

7 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

  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. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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

The parish operates in the non-profit religious sector, serving a localized community in Germany. Its competitive advantage lies in its established community presence and official affiliation with the Catholic Church. Revenue streams are likely donation-based and supported by church funding rather than commercial activities. The target customers are parishioners and local residents seeking spiritual guidance and community engagement. The website supports growth by providing timely event information and facilitating contact. Partnerships appear limited to church-related entities, with no commercial partners identified. The site’s content and structure reflect a focused operational scope consistent with a small religious organization.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is managed with user choice, reflecting GDPR compliance. Use of Google reCAPTCHA adds protection against automated abuse. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap. No incident response or abuse contact information is published, limiting transparency in case of security events. The site does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries based on the analysis. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small non-profit but could be improved with standard best practices and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish clear incident response and abuse contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to avoid potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of well-known frontend libraries and plugins, including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, Font Awesome for icons, and Revolution Slider for dynamic content presentation. JWPlayer is integrated for media playback, and Google reCAPTCHA protects forms from spam. Analytics are handled by Matomo, configured to respect user privacy with anonymous tracking fallback. The CMS appears to be FlexiWeb, inferred from AJAX glossary and clause references. Hosting is provided by internet1.de, a German hosting provider. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. The site is mobile optimized and has basic accessibility features, but SEO and accessibility could be further improved. No critical technical debt or risks were identified.
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.
