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 as a small non-profit entity focused on community and spiritual services within Hof and surrounding areas. Its business model centers on providing religious services, community engagement, and information dissemination. The website supports this by offering event calendars, contact details, and resources for parishioners. The organization maintains partnerships within the Bamberg diocese and local community groups. The site’s content and structure reflect a clear understanding of its target audience, emphasizing accessibility and community involvement. No commercial or revenue-generating activities are evident, consistent with its non-profit status.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security maturity with HTTPS enforced and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks published incident response or security policies, which could improve transparency and preparedness. Regular updates and audits of third-party libraries are recommended to maintain security. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-commercial site but could benefit from enhancements to align with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to strengthen protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to comply with recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of well-known front-end libraries and plugins such as Bootstrap, jQuery, Font Awesome, and JW Player, indicating a moderately modern tech stack. Hosting is managed via Evanzo, with domain nameservers consistent with the organization. The site is mobile responsive and includes SEO-friendly meta tags, though some SEO and accessibility improvements are possible. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple external resource calls. The CMS is not explicitly identified but appears to be custom or proprietary. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the site's functional and content needs effectively, with room for modernization and optimization.
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.
