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

Pfarrgemeinde St. Franziskus is a small non-profit religious organization serving the local community in Schwarzenbach an der Saale, Germany. The website provides information about church services, community groups, and events, targeting local parishioners and visitors. The site is built on WordPress and uses common plugins to manage content and photo galleries. The technical infrastructure is standard for a small community website, with HTTPS enabled and moderate performance. However, the site lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, contact emails, and phone numbers, which limits user trust and privacy compliance. Security posture is adequate but could be improved by adding security headers and incident response information.

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

8 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

  2. 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"

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 as a local religious community focused on spiritual services and community engagement. Its market position is localized with partnerships to nearby churches and kindergartens. The business model is non-profit, relying on community participation and church activities. The website content is well-structured and relevant to its audience but lacks modern privacy and security disclosures. There is no evidence of commercial activities or revenue streams. The partnership ecosystem includes related church domains and community organizations.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data in the HTML. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate certain web attacks. There is no visible security or incident response policy, nor vulnerability disclosure information. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Overall, the security maturity is basic, suitable for a small non-profit but with room for improvement to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance security posture.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  4. Establish and communicate an incident response policy and vulnerability disclosure process.
  5. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and improve performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and moderate performance. SEO is basic with meta tags and RSS feeds but lacks advanced optimization. Accessibility is basic with no explicit ARIA roles or landmarks beyond standard HTML5. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site uses HTTPS with a valid certificate but lacks advanced security headers. There is no evidence of analytics or tracking services, indicating minimal data collection.
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.
