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

8 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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

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 ELKB operates this site as part of its mission to provide group lodging facilities across Bavaria. The business model is non-profit, focusing on community and church-related group stays. The site is well-positioned within the niche of church-affiliated accommodations and benefits from membership in the Himmlische Herberge e.V., a national umbrella organization. The presence at major social sector trade fairs and the German Evangelical Kirchentag indicates active engagement with target audiences and partners. The website supports multiple languages (German and English) and offers a clear navigation structure. Revenue streams likely come from accommodation fees and church funding. The lack of direct contact details suggests centralized communication management.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and privacy is respected through the use of Matomo analytics configured to disable cookies and honor DoNotTrack signals. The Klaro consent manager provides a transparent cookie consent mechanism. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security hardening. No published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms were found, which are recommended best practices. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but could improve in formalizing security governance and technical protections.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish explicit security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Add direct contact information such as a general info email or phone number to improve user trust and communication.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern Drupal 10 CMS platform with Bootstrap-based responsive design, ensuring good mobile optimization and accessibility. The use of Matomo analytics configured for privacy compliance is a positive technical choice. The site loads external scripts asynchronously and defers non-critical JavaScript, supporting performance. The presence of a cookie consent manager (Klaro) integrated into the site aligns with GDPR requirements. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected. The site could benefit from enhanced security headers and possibly performance optimizations such as caching headers or CDN usage, though hosting details are not available.
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.
