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

The Bundesverband der Regionalbewegung e.V. (BRB) is a German non-profit umbrella organization and competence network dedicated to promoting regionality and strengthening regional economic cycles. With approximately 360 member organizations, it serves as a key voice and network for regional initiatives, small and medium enterprises, municipal initiatives, and agricultural and food sectors. The website reflects a well-established organization celebrating over 20 years of activity, providing information, networking, and advocacy services. Technically, the site is built on the Odoo CMS platform, leveraging modern web technologies such as Bootstrap and FontAwesome, and integrates Google Analytics for visitor insights. The site is mobile-optimized and presents a professional design with clear navigation and relevant content. Security posture is moderate; while HTTPS and CSRF tokens are present, explicit security headers and incident response policies are not published. Privacy compliance is addressed with a privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism, though GDPR-specific details are basic. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the organization's claims, supporting legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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. 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

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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention regionalbewegung.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for regionalbewegung.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

BRB holds a unique market position as the sole nationwide association focused on regionality in Germany, representing a diverse membership base from various sectors related to regional economic development. Its business model centers on non-profit advocacy, networking, and project coordination, with revenue likely derived from membership fees and grants. The organization actively engages in multiple projects and events, enhancing its visibility and influence. Partnerships with regional platforms and tools such as REGIOapp and REGIOlogistik indicate a collaborative ecosystem. The website content and structure support effective communication with stakeholders and the public, reinforcing BRB's role as a central actor in the regional movement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS usage and anonymized IP tracking in Google Analytics. The presence of CSRF tokens indicates attention to form security. However, the absence of visible security headers (e.g., Content Security Policy, HSTS) and lack of published security or incident response policies suggest room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The organization would benefit from formalizing security policies and publishing vulnerability disclosure information to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen site security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Ensure continuous monitoring and updating of third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance details, including explicit GDPR statements and data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by the Odoo CMS, a modern open-source platform, combined with Bootstrap and FontAwesome for responsive design and iconography. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for analytics and tracking, with IP anonymization enabled. The site loads asynchronously loaded JavaScript resources and uses a cookie consent banner for compliance. Hosting appears to be managed via resellerinterface.de based on nameservers. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical risks are minimal but could be reduced further by improving security headers and formalizing security policies.
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.
