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.

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 organization operates as a non-profit entity providing arbitration services in the travel and transport sector, targeting consumers and companies involved in travel disputes. Its market position is solid within Germany, supported by a professional website, active blog, and social media presence on LinkedIn. The business model centers on facilitating out-of-court settlements, reducing litigation costs for consumers and companies alike. The website content and structure indicate a focus on transparency, consumer rights education, and accessibility, which are competitive advantages. The absence of direct revenue streams such as advertising or affiliate marketing aligns with its non-profit status. Partnerships appear limited but include a dedicated portal domain (portal.sruv.de) for application processing.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and multiple security headers implemented, reducing common web vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The use of accessibility and SEO plugins suggests attention to best practices. However, the lack of a published security policy or incident response information indicates room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, which could enhance trust and facilitate responsible vulnerability reporting. Overall, the security posture is robust for a non-commercial website but could benefit from formalized security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Add explicit incident response contact information, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance advertising transparency by disclosing any third-party services or tracking mechanisms if used.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. It employs jQuery and Font Awesome for UI elements and icons. The site is multilingual via WPML and includes an accessibility plugin (OneTap) to support barrier-free access. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility compliance. The site uses canonical URLs, Open Graph tags, and JSON-LD structured data for enhanced SEO and social media integration. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though continuous monitoring and updates are recommended to maintain security and performance.
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.
