Risk levelMedium

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

The Reinhold Beitlich Stiftung is a well-established non-profit foundation based in Germany, founded in 1983 by Gertrud and Reinhold Beitlich. The foundation focuses on supporting education, social welfare, environmental protection, and scientific research, funding approximately 250 projects annually. It is financially supported primarily through its majority ownership of the CHT-Unternehmensgruppe. The website is built on WordPress using modern plugins and themes, providing a good user experience with clear navigation and mobile optimization. However, it lacks published privacy and cookie policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, but security headers are missing and no incident response contacts are provided. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security transparency.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. 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';…

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 foundation holds a strong market position within the German non-profit sector, leveraging its corporate ownership to fund social and educational initiatives. Its business model is capital endowment-based, focusing on grant-making and scholarships. The target audience includes educational institutions, social organizations, and research entities. The website reflects a consistent brand and provides detailed information about its mission and supported areas. The partnership with CHT-Unternehmensgruppe is a key strategic asset. Growth indicators include increasing numbers of supported projects. The foundation operates primarily in the non-profit sector with a medium organizational size.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate gaps in security best practices. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The site does not appear to use tracking or analytics scripts that could introduce privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the site's purpose but could be improved with better transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with a consent mechanism to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and abuse reports to improve incident response readiness.
  4. Regularly update and audit WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to foster responsible reporting and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for optimization. It uses current versions of jQuery and several Elementor add-ons, indicating active maintenance. The site is mobile optimized and has good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with caching and minification evident. Hosting provider details are not explicit. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, suggesting minimal data collection. The site lacks some advanced accessibility features but provides basic support. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy features.
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.
