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

The Sozial-Aktien-Gesellschaft Bielefeld operates as a small non-profit organization in Germany, offering a unique business model centered on the sale of social and artistic stocks to support charitable institutions. Their website presents a basic but functional digital presence, utilizing standard web technologies such as Bootstrap and jQuery. The content is primarily in German and targets individuals and organizations interested in supporting social causes through innovative investment-like mechanisms. The site includes sections for photo stocks, art stocks, and custom stocks for clubs, indicating a niche market position within the non-profit sector. Technically, the website employs a moderate technology stack with no detected CMS or advanced analytics tools. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile use but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is limited, with no explicit HTTPS confirmation, absence of security headers, and no visible cookie consent mechanisms. The WHOIS data is minimal and shows an unusual domain status, which slightly reduces trust but does not indicate clear illegitimacy. Overall, the security posture is basic with room for improvement in SSL implementation, security headers, and privacy compliance. The business credibility is moderate, supported by trust indicators such as membership in recognized organizations and the presence of legal pages. There are no signs of adult or questionable content, making the site safe for general audiences. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security configurations, implementing GDPR-compliant privacy and cookie policies, and improving technical and content quality to increase trust and user experience.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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

  4. 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"

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

The organization occupies a niche within the German non-profit sector, leveraging a novel approach to fundraising through social and artistic stocks. Its competitive advantage lies in combining social impact with unique investment products, appealing to socially conscious investors and supporters of charitable causes. Revenue streams likely derive from stock sales and donations, with partnerships enhancing credibility and reach. The target customer segment includes individuals and clubs interested in social philanthropy and art. Growth potential depends on expanding awareness and digital presence. The partnership ecosystem includes foundations and umbrella organizations, which supports legitimacy and outreach. Operationally, the organization maintains a small-scale digital infrastructure with limited automation or analytics, indicating potential for modernization.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is basic. The absence of HTTPS confirmation and security headers exposes the site to potential risks such as data interception and clickjacking. No incident response or security policy information is available, indicating limited preparedness for security events. The lack of cookie consent and privacy compliance mechanisms suggests GDPR gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content, but the use of outdated libraries like jQuery 3.5.1 may pose risks if not regularly updated. Overall, the security culture appears minimal, with recommendations focusing on foundational improvements to protect user data and enhance trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate and enforce secure connections site-wide.
  2. Add essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Introduce a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  4. Develop and publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible to users.
  5. Regularly update all third-party libraries and frameworks to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional front-end stack with Bootstrap 4.5.2 and jQuery 3.5.1, indicating a somewhat dated but stable technology base. No CMS or advanced backend technologies were detected, suggesting a static or custom-built site. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is minimal with basic meta tags but no structured data or Open Graph tags. The hosting provider and infrastructure details are not disclosed, limiting assessment of resilience and scalability. Technical debt is moderate due to older library versions and lack of modern security practices. Opportunities exist to modernize the stack, improve performance, and enhance accessibility and SEO.
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.
