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

The website for Pfarrei Breitengüßbach serves as the official online presence of a local Catholic parish in Germany. It provides parishioners and community members with detailed information about church services, religious life, community groups, events, and contact options. The site is positioned as a trusted local religious institution within the Seelsorgebereich Main-Itz region, focusing on spiritual and community services. The content is well-organized, relevant, and targeted primarily at local residents and parish members. Technically, the website employs a modern technology stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, Font Awesome, and JW Player, hosted on infrastructure associated with internet1.de and kirche-bamberg.de. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses HTTPS to secure communications. Analytics are implemented via Piwik (Matomo), with a cookie consent mechanism that aligns with GDPR requirements. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices such as HTTPS enforcement and cookie consent but lacks explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options. There is no visible security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page, which could enhance transparency and incident response readiness. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected. Overall, the website is a secure, compliant, and professional platform for a small non-profit religious organization. Strategic improvements in security headers and incident response disclosures would further strengthen its 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

Pfarrei Breitengüßbach operates as a small, essential entity within the government and non-profit sectors, serving the local religious community. Its business model centers on providing spiritual services, community engagement, and religious education. The website reflects a stable market position as a local parish with a clear target audience of parishioners and residents in the Breitengüßbach area. The partnership with the Seelsorgebereich Main-Itz indicates a collaborative regional network. Revenue streams are typical for non-profits, likely relying on donations and church funding. The site’s content and structure support community outreach and engagement, with no commercial or e-commerce elements. Growth indicators are modest, focusing on community events and religious activities.

Security posture

The website maintains a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism that supports GDPR compliance. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a gap that could expose the site to clickjacking or MIME sniffing attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a security.txt or explicit incident response contact reduces transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small non-profit but could benefit from enhancements to align with best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contact information.
  3. Conduct regular audits of third-party libraries and dependencies to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Increase visibility of security and privacy contacts to build trust and facilitate communication.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a solid technical foundation using Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for scripting, and Font Awesome for icons. It integrates multimedia via JW Player and uses Fancybox for image galleries. Hosting is managed through internet1.de with domain nameservers aligned accordingly. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts and deferred JavaScript to optimize page load times. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. The CMS appears to be a custom or church-specific system associated with kirche-bamberg.de. Opportunities exist to modernize security headers and improve accessibility compliance to reduce technical debt and enhance resilience.
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.
