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

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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

  4. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention prowi-gt.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for prowi-gt.de right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The organization positions itself as the primary economic development agency for Kreis Gütersloh, targeting local businesses, startups, and stakeholders interested in economic growth and innovation. Their business model is non-profit and service-oriented, focusing on consulting, networking, and information dissemination. Key competitive advantages include free and personalized consulting, strong regional ties, and a broad portfolio of services including innovation support, sustainability, and workforce development. The website content and linked domains indicate a well-established partnership ecosystem with local businesses and educational institutions. Growth indicators include active event scheduling and engagement in EU-related programs. The company operates transparently with clear contact information and testimonials enhancing credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented according to GDPR standards. No security headers were explicitly detected in the HTML content, suggesting room for improvement. There is no published security policy or incident response information, which could be a gap in transparency and preparedness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the source code. The use of Matomo analytics indicates a preference for privacy-respecting tools. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by publishing formal policies and adding security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with standards such as WCAG.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used open-source content management system. It uses modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery, FontAwesome, and Packery for layout management. The site is hosted on a domain controlled by DomainControl.com, indicating a commercial DNS provider. Performance is moderate with lazy loading of images and responsive design for mobile devices. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. The technical stack is well-maintained with no deprecated or vulnerable libraries detected. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and implement additional security headers to reduce technical risks.
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.
