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

Stiftung Pfadfinderinnen is a German non-profit foundation dedicated to supporting innovative and traditional scouting projects within the Pfadfinderinnenschaft St. Georg community. The website serves as an informational and donation platform, providing project news, funding opportunities, and ways to support the foundation. The organization maintains a niche position in the non-profit sector focused on youth and scouting activities in Germany. Technically, the website is built on the Contao Open Source CMS and uses legacy JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.9.1 and the older Google Analytics ga.js script, indicating some modernization opportunities. Hosting is provided by Alfahosting, a German hosting provider, and the site uses HTTPS with a cookie consent mechanism, reflecting basic GDPR compliance. Security posture is moderate but could be improved by updating libraries and implementing security headers. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-structured, with clear navigation and relevant content for its target audience.

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 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';…

  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 foundation operates as a small-sized non-profit entity focused on funding and supporting scouting projects. Its business model revolves around donations, grants, and project sponsorships, with a clear emphasis on community engagement and youth development. The website highlights active project funding, news updates, and calls for support, indicating ongoing operations and community involvement. The presence of PayPal donation integration and membership in the Bundesverband Deutscher Stiftungen adds credibility. The target audience includes scouting groups, donors, and supporters interested in youth and community development. The foundation's market position is specialized and regionally focused within Germany, with no indication of subsidiaries or parent companies.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent banner, demonstrating awareness of basic security and privacy requirements. However, the use of outdated JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.9.1 introduces potential vulnerabilities. The absence of detected security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. Google Analytics is implemented via the legacy ga.js script, which may have privacy implications under GDPR. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which is common for small non-profits but represents an area for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or obvious vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Update jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Migrate Google Analytics to the latest version (GA4) with privacy-focused configurations to improve GDPR compliance.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Consider adding a terms of service page to clarify user and donor rights and obligations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Contao Open Source CMS, a PHP-based content management system, and uses several JavaScript plugins including MenuMatic for navigation and SL_Slider for content sliders. The technology stack includes legacy jQuery 1.9.1 and Google Analytics ga.js, which are outdated and pose security and privacy concerns. Hosting is provided by Alfahosting, a reputable German hosting provider. The site uses HTTPS as indicated by the base href and external resource URLs. Performance is moderate with some room for improvement in mobile optimization and accessibility. SEO is basic with meta description present but no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data detected. The site includes a cookie consent banner implemented via jquery.cookiebar.js, indicating some privacy compliance efforts. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but would benefit from modernization and enhanced security practices.
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.
