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

5 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 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';…

  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

  3. 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

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 organization operates in the hospitality and tourism sector as a non-profit entity, providing essential quality management and certification services. Their business model revolves around education, certification, and consulting, targeting tourism SMEs in Germany. The presence of partner logos and recognized certifications enhances their credibility. The website content and structure support their mission to engage and inform their audience effectively. Their use of modern web technologies and privacy-focused analytics indicates a mature digital strategy. The organization maintains direct contact channels with named representatives, facilitating customer engagement and support. Growth potential lies in expanding digital tools and increasing awareness of their certification benefits within the tourism industry.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism that blocks non-essential cookies until user consent is given. The use of Matomo analytics aligns with privacy best practices. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and security.txt files indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Security headers beyond X-UA-Compatible are not evident, suggesting potential enhancements to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could be strengthened with additional controls and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness for security incidents.
  3. Add a security.txt file at the root domain to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to prevent vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security assessments to maintain compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust open-source content management system, and uses Bootstrap for responsive design elements such as navigation and carousels. Cookiebot is integrated for GDPR-compliant cookie management, and Matomo is used for analytics, reflecting a privacy-conscious approach. Hosting is provided by schlundtech.de, a German hosting provider, which aligns with the website's German audience. The site demonstrates moderate performance and good mobile optimization. SEO practices are evident through meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for the organization's needs, with opportunities to enhance security headers and accessibility compliance.
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.
