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

The website represents the Aktionsgemeinschaft Stadtmarketing Alsdorf e.V., a local non-profit association focused on city marketing and supporting the interests of the Alsdorf community and local businesses. The site provides information about the association's mission, encourages community involvement, and highlights partner organizations. The business model is non-profit and community-oriented, targeting local citizens and businesses. Technically, the website is built on WordPress 5.4.2 using a custom theme (Delicate) and includes legacy technologies such as jQuery 1.12.4 and Cufon font replacement. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices but lacks modern accessibility and SEO best practices. No advanced analytics or tracking tools are detected. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS but lacks important security headers and uses outdated JavaScript libraries with known vulnerabilities. There are no visible privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. No contact emails or phone numbers are explicitly provided, limiting user trust and support options. Overall, the website is functional and provides relevant content for its target audience but requires improvements in security, privacy compliance, and technical modernization to enhance trustworthiness and resilience.

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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      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

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 association holds a local market position as a community-driven non-profit entity focused on city marketing and local business support. Its competitive advantage lies in its community engagement and partnerships with local utilities and government entities. The business model relies on volunteer participation and local sponsorships. The target customers are local residents, businesses, and stakeholders interested in city development. Growth indicators are limited due to the non-profit nature. The partnership ecosystem includes local utilities and municipal websites, indicating strong local ties.

Security posture

The current security posture is basic with HTTPS enabled but lacking critical security headers and using outdated JavaScript libraries that expose the site to potential vulnerabilities. There is no evidence of incident response policies or security certifications. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing policies and consent mechanisms. The absence of contact information for security incidents further reduces readiness. The site would benefit from immediate updates to libraries, implementation of security headers, and addition of privacy and security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR.
  2. Upgrade all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to supported secure versions.
  3. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  5. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to inform users and obtain consent for tracking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website runs on WordPress CMS version 5.4.2 with a custom theme 'Delicate' and uses legacy technologies like jQuery 1.12.4 and Cufon for font rendering. The site loads moderate resources and has basic mobile optimization. SEO is minimal with meta description present but no structured data or Open Graph tags. No analytics or tracking scripts are detected, indicating minimal data collection. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified but uses name servers ns1.pixel-farm.de and ns2.pixel-farm.de. The site would benefit from modernization of its tech stack, improved accessibility, and enhanced SEO features.
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.
