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

Praktikumsjahr GbR operates an educational platform focused on providing school leavers in Germany with the opportunity to explore multiple professions through a structured internship year. The platform facilitates digital management of applications, offers monthly stipends, and partners with over 100 companies, positioning itself as a niche leader in practical career orientation. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and rich in relevant content, including testimonials, partner logos, and press references, enhancing its credibility and trustworthiness. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies such as Bootstrap, Font Awesome, Google Analytics, Hotjar, and Cookiebot for consent management, hosted on Google Cloud infrastructure. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms, though it lacks explicit security headers and a published security policy. Privacy compliance is strong with comprehensive GDPR-aligned policies and clear contact information. Overall, the site presents a low-risk profile with no detected vulnerabilities or suspicious content.

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

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. 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
    • 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';…
  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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
  • 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 business targets young individuals finishing school who are uncertain about their career paths, offering a unique business model that combines digital internship placement with financial incentives. Its competitive advantage lies in the ease of application, diverse partner network, and comprehensive support including career testing and legal guidance. Revenue likely derives from partner companies sponsoring the platform and possibly service fees. The company is small-sized, founded in 2017, and maintains a consistent brand presence across social media and press. Strategic partnerships with reputable companies like Merck and Marriott enhance market credibility. The platform's growth is indicated by over 800 interns served and a high partner retention rate.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms that respect user privacy. However, the absence of key HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which could hinder rapid mitigation of potential threats. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security risk is low but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance user trust by providing more detailed information on data retention and privacy practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern front-end technologies including Bootstrap for responsive design, Font Awesome for icons, and Lottie Player for animations, ensuring a visually appealing and mobile-optimized user experience. It integrates third-party services such as Google Analytics and Hotjar for analytics and user behavior tracking, managed via Cookiebot for GDPR compliance. Hosting is managed through Google Cloud DNS, indicating reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The site lacks a detected CMS, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Accessibility and SEO practices are good, with proper meta tags and structured navigation. Technical risks are minimal but could be reduced by adding security headers and improving performance metrics.
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.
