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. 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. 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.

Business context

Business profile

Universität Regensburg operates as a public educational institution with a focus on higher education and research. It holds a strong market position within Germany and internationally, offering diverse academic programs and research opportunities. The university's business model centers on public funding and service provision to students and researchers. Its target audience includes prospective and current students, academic staff, and international partners. The university maintains a broad partnership ecosystem, including international exchange programs and digital services. Growth indicators include active promotion of international mobility and early career researcher support. The website reflects a well-organized institution with a clear strategic focus on diversity, sustainability, and outreach.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism in place, supporting GDPR compliance. However, there is no publicly available security policy or incident response contact information, which are important for transparency and readiness. The use of Piwik (Matomo) for analytics indicates a privacy-respecting approach. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were identified in the HTML content. Security headers were not explicitly detected, suggesting room for improvement. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good but could benefit from enhanced policy disclosures and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and enforce security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and CMS components to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by detailing data retention policies and cookie usage in the privacy documentation.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, enhanced with the Yoast SEO plugin for search optimization. The site uses modern web standards including HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. It is mobile-optimized and accessible, with a clear navigation structure. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. The presence of multiple external links to university services and social media indicates a well-integrated digital ecosystem. The use of Piwik (Matomo) analytics reflects a privacy-conscious data collection approach. No critical technical debt or outdated technologies were detected, but security headers could be improved to enhance protection.
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.
