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

Tierparkfreunde Chemnitz is a small non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the Tierpark Chemnitz and Wildgatter Oberrabenstein through various projects focused on animal welfare, environmental education, and community engagement. The website serves as an information hub for members, donors, and visitors, offering news, event calendars, and project details. The organization has a regional presence with a history of over fifteen years, indicating established community trust and involvement. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern version and uses common plugins such as Complianz for GDPR cookie consent and WPFront Scroll Top for usability. The site is hosted on rzone.de nameservers and uses HTTPS, ensuring secure communication. The design is responsive and accessible with good navigation and content relevance, though some technical improvements like security headers could enhance the security posture. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, reflecting good privacy compliance. However, no explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, which could be improved to strengthen trust and readiness. No vulnerabilities or suspicious indicators were detected in the content or WHOIS data. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professionally maintained, and compliant with GDPR requirements. Strategic enhancements in security headers, incident response transparency, and contact information visibility would further improve the site's security and credibility.

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

5 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 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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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 supporting a local animal park, leveraging community donations, memberships, and sales of informational materials like calendars. Its market position is regional with a focus on environmental education and animal welfare. The website reflects a stable business model with clear target audiences including families, animal lovers, and local residents. Partnerships with the official Tierpark Chemnitz website and social media presence enhance outreach. Growth indicators include ongoing projects and event calendars. The organization maintains a transparent donation process with a dedicated bank account. The business ecosystem includes collaborations with local institutions and media publications. The website's content and structure support community engagement and fundraising efforts effectively.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and GDPR-compliant cookie consent. The absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of incident response information represent gaps in security best practices. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The use of updated WordPress and plugins reduces risk, but continuous monitoring and patching are essential. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file limits transparency for security researchers. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small non-profit but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Create and publish an incident response policy and provide a dedicated security contact email to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to minimize vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance contact information visibility by adding verified company emails and phone numbers on the website.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a stable WordPress 6.8.3 platform with jQuery and uses plugins for cookie consent and UI enhancements. Hosting is via rzone.de nameservers, a common German hosting provider. The site loads with moderate performance and is mobile-optimized with responsive design. SEO is basic but includes meta tags and RSS feeds. Accessibility features are present but could be improved. No critical technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and optimize SEO further. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with room for modernization.
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.
