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

4 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

    • 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

  2. 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 seminare-bw.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for seminare-bw.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

The portal benefits from strong partnerships with key educational institutions and government bodies, including the Ministry of Education and the Landeslehrerprüfungsamt. Its business model focuses on public educational services, supporting teacher qualification and ongoing professional development. The site’s content and navigation are tailored to educators’ needs, enhancing user engagement and service delivery. The absence of commercial advertising and the presence of official links reinforce its credibility and focus on educational quality and compliance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforcement, cookie consent mechanisms, and no visible vulnerabilities in scripts or forms. However, it lacks explicit security headers and a published security policy or incident response contact, which are recommended best practices. The use of Matomo analytics indicates a privacy-conscious approach to user tracking. Overall, the site maintains a secure environment appropriate for a government educational portal but could improve transparency and technical security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance form security by ensuring CSRF tokens and robust input validation are in place.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate risks from external dependencies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom or proprietary CMS with a modern front-end stack including jQuery and jQuery UI. It uses SVG icons and CSS frameworks for styling and layout. Hosting appears to be managed by Baden-Württemberg government infrastructure, ensuring reliability and compliance. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags and structured content. Opportunities exist to modernize frameworks and improve performance metrics further.
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.
