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

SocialOrga is a German-based software provider specializing in modular administrative solutions for voluntary social and ecological service organizations such as FSJ, BFD, and FÖJ. The company offers a flexible software suite that supports participant management, deployment sites, seminar organization, and financial accounting. Their business model focuses on modular software sales with custom extensions and integration services, targeting organizations managing voluntary services. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and hosted on Hetzner servers, indicating a modern technical infrastructure. The use of Next.js and Matomo analytics reflects a contemporary digital maturity level. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but lacks explicit security headers and vulnerability disclosures. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional image but would benefit from enhanced privacy 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

9 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: Redis

      Port 6379 (Redis) is publicly accessible - Redis - In-memory database

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to Redis using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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"

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 · found on this site
  • 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

SocialOrga occupies a niche market providing administrative software tailored for voluntary service organizations in Germany. Their competitive advantage lies in modularity, customization, and integration capabilities. The company leverages remote hosting and offers extensions to fit client-specific IT environments. The target customers are social service providers and coordinators who require efficient digital management tools. The company maintains an active presence on professional social media platforms, enhancing credibility and outreach. Growth potential exists in expanding modular offerings and improving compliance visibility. The partnership ecosystem includes social media platforms and hosting providers but no explicit business partners were identified.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is presumably enabled given the modern framework and hosting environment, but no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data. There is no visible privacy policy, cookie consent mechanism, or vulnerability disclosure, which are critical for GDPR compliance and user trust. No incident response or security contact information is provided. The use of Matomo analytics suggests some privacy-conscious tracking, but overall privacy compliance is lacking. The absence of security.txt and DPO contact reduces transparency. Recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, and establishing vulnerability disclosure and incident response processes.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Add explicit contact information for security incidents, including dedicated security or abuse email addresses.
  5. Conduct regular security audits to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities and ensure secure form handling.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Next.js, a modern React-based framework, and styled with DaisyUI (Tailwind CSS). It uses SVG graphics for icons and images, enhancing scalability and performance. Hosting is provided by Hetzner, a reputable German hosting provider. The site loads multiple asynchronous JavaScript chunks, indicating a modular and performant frontend architecture. Matomo analytics is used for tracking, reflecting a privacy-aware approach compared to mainstream trackers. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO meta tags are properly set. However, no CMS is detected, and accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility compliance.
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.
