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

7 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

  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. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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 parish operates in the non-profit religious sector, targeting local parishioners and community members. Its business model is service-oriented, focusing on spiritual guidance, community events, and religious education. The website supports this by providing timely news, event schedules, and contact points. Partnerships with local Catholic organizations such as youth groups and Caritas are evident, enhancing community engagement. The site does not monetize through advertising or affiliate programs, reflecting its non-commercial nature. Growth indicators include active event postings and community involvement. The parish maintains a clear digital presence consistent with its mission and local relevance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture for a small non-profit entity. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent mechanisms comply with GDPR. The use of Google reCAPTCHA protects forms from spam. Matomo analytics is configured to allow anonymous tracking fallback, respecting user privacy. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and security policies are not publicly documented, which is common for small organizations but could be enhanced. Overall, the site balances usability and security adequately.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a basic security policy or incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly update all third-party libraries and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Expand SEO metadata with Open Graph tags and structured data to improve search engine visibility and social sharing.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a CMS platform likely related to kirche-bamberg.de, using Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity. It integrates several plugins including FancyBox for media display, Revolution Slider for banners, and JW Player for media playback. Google reCAPTCHA is used for spam prevention. Analytics are handled via Matomo with privacy-conscious configurations. Hosting is managed via internet1.de as indicated by nameservers. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The site is mobile-friendly and has a clear navigation structure. Technical debt appears low, but updating and hardening security headers would improve resilience. The site lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features but meets basic standards for a community website.
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.
