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. 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"

    • 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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 business leverages partnerships with reputable media organizations such as WDR and Medienanstalt NRW, enhancing credibility. Revenue likely derives from service fees for moderation and training. The target customers include event organizers, media professionals, and individuals seeking media skills development. The website's content and client logos indicate a stable presence in the German media training market. The use of Google Analytics and cookie consent tools reflects awareness of data privacy regulations. The business model is service-oriented with a focus on quality and professional branding.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS and GDPR-compliant cookie consent. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security or incident response policies suggest room for improvement. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found. Incident response contact channels are not provided, which could be a gap in security readiness. Overall, the site is secure for its business scope but could enhance transparency and technical security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to improve browser security.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
  3. Regularly audit and update all WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Consider adding explicit terms of service to clarify user agreements and liabilities.
  5. Enhance contact information by providing verified company emails and phone numbers for better user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for optimization. It integrates several plugins for downloads, page views, and GDPR compliance. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The site uses Google Analytics via MonsterInsights for tracking. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. The site could benefit from improved security headers and possibly a content delivery network for enhanced performance.
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.
