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

Praktikumswoche.de is a German educational platform operated by stafftastic GmbH that facilitates internship weeks for students across over 200 regions in Germany. The platform enables students to explore different companies and professions by participating in daily internships during the holidays. It serves both students and companies, offering free registration and participation. The website is well-positioned in the education sector with strong media recognition and a broad regional presence. Technically, the website employs a modern tech stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, FontAwesome, and Cookiebot for cookie consent management. Hosting is managed via Google Domains, and privacy-respecting analytics are implemented using Plausible Analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO and accessibility basics. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Cookie consent is properly implemented, and privacy is respected with no-cookie YouTube embeds. However, security headers are not explicitly detected, and no public security policy or incident response contacts are provided, which could be improved. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professional, and compliant with GDPR. It lacks explicit contact information on the main page but provides social media links and a privacy policy. The domain registration is consistent and legitimate, supporting the platform's credibility.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…
  2. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 384-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Praktikumswoche.de operates as a platform connecting students with companies for short-term internships during school holidays, targeting the German education market. Its competitive advantage lies in its extensive regional coverage and media presence, which enhances trust and visibility. The business model is based on free participation for students and companies, with regional organizers able to host events. Revenue streams likely include regional event hosting and platform services managed by stafftastic GmbH. The company maintains active social media profiles and partners with regional domains such as praktikumswoche.at for Austria. Growth indicators include media mentions and a large number of participating regions, positioning it as a key player in the German internship facilitation market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent managed via Cookiebot, ensuring GDPR compliance. The use of privacy-friendly analytics (Plausible) and no-cookie YouTube embeds further enhance privacy. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The platform would benefit from publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt to improve transparency and incident handling readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Include clear contact information for security incidents or data protection officer to improve trust and compliance.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are used.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a solid technical foundation using Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and FontAwesome for icons. Cookiebot is integrated for cookie consent management, and Plausible Analytics is used for privacy-focused user tracking. The site uses typeahead.js for postcode search functionality, enhancing user experience. Hosting via Google Domains nameservers suggests reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with lazy loading images and deferred scripts. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with more ARIA attributes and semantic HTML. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and user-friendly platform.
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.
