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

RegioCrowd is a German non-profit platform dedicated to facilitating community participation in nature and environmental conservation projects across the regions of Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and Thuringia. The platform enables individuals and companies to engage in various activities such as volunteering and crowdfunding to support biodiversity and environmental protection. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and built on the TYPO3 CMS framework, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Privacy and cookie policies are present and GDPR compliant, reflecting a commitment to user data protection. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy, which should be addressed to enhance trust. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling, though additional security headers and a vulnerability disclosure policy would strengthen the security framework. Overall, RegioCrowd presents a trustworthy and well-structured platform for environmental engagement with room for improvement in domain transparency and security disclosures.

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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-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.

Business context

Business profile

RegioCrowd operates in the non-profit sector focusing on environmental conservation and community engagement. Its business model revolves around enabling crowdfunding and volunteer participation for regional nature projects. The platform targets a broad audience including families, retirees, and nature enthusiasts, positioning itself as a regional leader in environmental project facilitation. The use of TYPO3 CMS and integration of analytics tools like eTracker suggest a moderate level of digital maturity. The platform's partnerships, such as with the Sächsische Landesstiftung Natur und Umwelt, enhance its credibility and outreach. Revenue streams likely include donations and sponsorships. The absence of explicit company registration or VAT information limits full business profiling. Strategic growth could focus on expanding regional coverage and enhancing digital marketing efforts.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enabled and secure handling of user inputs in forms. The use of nonce attributes in scripts helps mitigate cross-site scripting risks. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents an area for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a security.txt file or explicit vulnerability disclosure policy limits transparency in incident response readiness. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are well implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional HTTP security headers and formalizing vulnerability disclosure processes.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and trust.
  2. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a security.txt file or dedicated vulnerability disclosure page to improve incident response transparency.
  4. Enhance visibility of security and privacy contact channels for users and security researchers.
  5. Continue to maintain GDPR compliance and update cookie consent mechanisms as regulations evolve.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, ensuring scalability and maintainability. Frontend technologies include Bootstrap for responsive design and Swiper.js for interactive sliders, contributing to a good user experience across devices. Analytics are handled via eTracker, integrated with cookie consent to respect privacy regulations. The site loads moderately fast with optimized images and fonts preloaded. Accessibility features such as skip navigation links and ARIA labels are present, enhancing usability for assistive technologies. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit in the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the platform's mission effectively with opportunities to improve security headers and domain registration transparency.
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.
