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

8 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"

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

RPZ Heilsbronn occupies a niche position in religious education within Bavaria, leveraging its church affiliation to provide pedagogical resources, training, and crisis support services. Its business model is non-commercial, focusing on educational and spiritual development. The organization maintains a modest digital footprint with clear contact points and social media engagement. The absence of commercial advertising or affiliate programs aligns with its non-profit status. The partnership with media portals and presence on major social platforms supports outreach and community engagement. Growth potential lies in expanding digital offerings and enhancing compliance with evolving data protection regulations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data leaks. The use of Piwik analytics suggests a privacy-conscious approach compared to mainstream trackers. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy indicate gaps in security best practices. No WAF or blocking mechanisms are detected, and no vulnerabilities are apparent from the HTML content. GDPR compliance is partial due to missing cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small non-profit but could be improved to reduce risk and enhance trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and inform users about tracking.
  2. Add standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to harden the site against common attacks.
  3. Publish an incident response contact or abuse email to facilitate security issue reporting.
  4. Consider creating and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and security culture.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and CMS components to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a mature and widely used content management system, ensuring a stable and extensible platform. The front-end uses compressed CSS and JavaScript assets for performance optimization. The site is mobile responsive with a clear navigation structure and accessible search functionality. Hosting appears to be managed via German providers indicated by nameservers. Analytics are handled by Piwik (Matomo), which is privacy-friendly. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading. There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries in the provided HTML. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility features and implement SEO enhancements such as richer metadata and structured data.
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.
