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.

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.

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.

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, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The company operates in the education and certification sector for animal care, targeting private hobbyists, commercial breeders, zoofachhandel employees, and authorities. Its business model revolves around training courses, examinations, and selling educational materials. The presence of ISO certification and partner logos indicates a well-established reputation within its niche. The website's multilingual support and structured navigation suggest a focus on accessibility and user experience. Revenue streams likely include course fees and sales of teaching materials. The company maintains partnerships with recognized industry bodies, enhancing credibility and market reach.
Security posture
The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration and uses service workers to enhance user experience. Cookie consent mechanisms are in place, indicating awareness of privacy compliance. However, no advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could improve protection against common web attacks. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, and no security.txt file was found. The use of third-party analytics (Snowplow) is moderate and privacy compliance is basic. Overall, the security posture is solid for a small business site but could benefit from enhancements to align with best practices.
Recommendations
Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
Publish explicit security and incident response policies, including a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosures.
Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and providing clearer contact information for data protection inquiries.
Regularly update all third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
Improve accessibility features and conduct audits to ensure compliance with standards such as WCAG.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is hosted on 1AND1 (IONOS) and built using the Website-Editor.net CMS platform. It uses jQuery 2.2.4, skrollr for parallax effects, PhotoSwipe for image galleries, and Snowplow for analytics tracking. Service workers are registered to enable PWA features. The site loads CSS and JS resources from multiple CDNs, ensuring distributed content delivery. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected, but some libraries could be updated to newer versions for security and performance improvements.
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.
