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

3 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 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

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

  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 school holds a solid regional position as a provider of vocational and technical education in Germany. Its offerings cover multiple educational tracks, appealing to a wide student base. The website reflects a stable and consistent brand presence with professional content and trust signals such as privacy policies and contact transparency. The institution does not appear to engage in commercial activities beyond education and community services. There is no indication of partnerships or subsidiaries from the website content or WHOIS data. The school leverages social media (Instagram) for outreach. Growth indicators include new educational programs announced on the site. The business ecosystem is primarily educational and community-focused.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism in place, indicating GDPR awareness. However, there is no evidence of advanced security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS, nor is there a published security policy or incident response contact. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The absence of security.txt or vulnerability disclosure information suggests room for improvement in transparency and incident readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an educational website but could be enhanced to align with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information including contact channels for security issues.
  3. Conduct regular security audits of third-party libraries and update them to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance transparency by providing a data protection officer contact or privacy team information.
  5. Improve analytics transparency and consider adding privacy-friendly analytics tools with clear data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the ikiss CMS platform, utilizing jQuery and related UI libraries for interactivity and navigation. The use of Flexslider and Slicknav indicates a focus on responsive and user-friendly design. Hosting is provided by a German hosting provider as indicated by the nameservers. The site loads with moderate performance and is mobile-optimized with accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels. SEO is supported by proper meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter cards. There is no evidence of modern JavaScript frameworks or advanced backend technologies in the HTML content. The technical stack is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
