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

Stiftung Genshagen is a non-profit foundation dedicated to fostering European dialogue, particularly focusing on German-French and German-Polish relations and the Weimarer Dreieck. The foundation aims to strengthen Europe’s cultural diversity, political capacity, social cohesion, and economic dynamism through various projects, events, and educational initiatives. The website serves as a platform for information dissemination, event promotion, and cultural exchange, targeting political stakeholders, academics, and the broader European public. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS, hosted by SchlundTech, and employs modern web technologies including JavaScript and Matomo analytics for user tracking with consent. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices, accessible, and SEO-friendly. Security is adequate with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though some security headers could be improved. The security posture is solid with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is strong, featuring a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent banner. However, the site lacks explicit terms of service and incident response contact information, which could be enhanced to improve trust and compliance. Overall, Stiftung Genshagen’s website reflects a professional, trustworthy, and well-maintained digital presence suitable for its non-profit mission. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing incident response details, and providing clearer contact information to further strengthen security 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

6 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • 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

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.

Business context

Business profile

Stiftung Genshagen occupies a niche position as a European non-profit foundation focused on political and cultural dialogue within the Weimarer Dreieck framework. Its competitive advantage lies in its established network and focus on trilateral relations between Germany, France, and Poland. The foundation’s business model is centered on organizing dialogues, cultural mediation, and educational programs, supported by partnerships and public funding. The website indicates active engagement with stakeholders through events, publications, and projects, signaling growth and sustained relevance. The partnership with wegewerk GmbH for website development and the use of Matomo analytics reflect a commitment to professional digital operations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism that aligns with GDPR requirements. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. The lack of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies limits transparency in security management. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but would benefit from enhanced security controls and clearer communication on security practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish an incident response policy and provide dedicated contact channels for security issues.
  3. Add a terms of service page to clarify user rights and obligations.
  4. Enhance contact information visibility, including official emails and phone numbers for general and security inquiries.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and update CMS and extensions to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used open-source content management system. It uses JavaScript for interactive elements and Matomo for analytics, indicating a preference for privacy-respecting tools. Hosting is provided by SchlundTech, a reputable German hosting provider. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident in meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by large images and slider components. There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries in the provided HTML. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the foundation’s mission effectively but could be optimized further for speed and security.
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.
