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

Stadtmarketing Waltrop e.V. is a small non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the city of Waltrop through cultural events, community engagement, and local business support. The website is professionally designed using Squarespace, featuring clear navigation and mobile optimization. It provides detailed information about upcoming events, membership opportunities, and contact methods, targeting residents and visitors of Waltrop. The organization has been active since 2006, indicating a stable presence in the community. Technically, the website leverages Squarespace's platform and CDN, uses modern web fonts, and implements HTTPS with a cookie consent banner, reflecting a moderate level of digital maturity. However, it lacks advanced security headers and explicit security or incident response policies, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance. From a security perspective, the site is accessible without WAF or blocking mechanisms, uses SSL properly, and does not expose sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. Privacy compliance is basic but present, with a privacy policy and cookie consent. Contact information is comprehensive, supporting business credibility. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional image suitable for its community-focused mission. Strategic improvements in security policies and transparency could further strengthen its posture and user trust.

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

4 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. 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 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';…
  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 organization operates as a non-profit entity focused on city marketing and event organization in Waltrop, Germany. Its business model relies on memberships, donations, and sponsorships. The website content and event programs indicate active community involvement and cultural promotion. The presence on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram supports outreach efforts. The organization appears well-positioned locally with a consistent brand and a history dating back to 2006. There are no indications of commercial sales or e-commerce activities, emphasizing its non-profit nature.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic but adequate security posture with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection, which are recommended best practices. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which could be a gap in security readiness. No vulnerable or outdated libraries were detected. Forms appear limited to contact purposes without complex data collection, reducing risk exposure. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from enhancements in headers and policy transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to improve defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy or incident response page to inform users and stakeholders about security practices and contact points.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance privacy compliance by providing more detailed cookie and data retention policies.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and dependencies to avoid potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, utilizing its CDN and hosting services. It uses modern web fonts from Typekit and Google Fonts, and standard JavaScript and CSS for functionality and styling. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, typical for CMS-based sites. There is no evidence of advanced frameworks or custom backend technologies. SEO is basic with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility features are minimal but present. The technical infrastructure is stable but could be improved with enhanced security configurations and performance optimizations.
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.
