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
4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
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"
This scan found 26 issues across 6 checks. Monitoring re-runs those checks daily, emails you when something material changes and records each fix, so you can show progress.

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
Volkshochschule Rüsselsheim operates as a public education institution focusing on adult education and integration. Its business model revolves around providing accessible educational programs to the local community. The website reflects a moderate digital maturity with basic SEO and accessibility features. The presence of Cookiebot and detailed cookie categorization indicates a strong commitment to privacy compliance. The organization maintains active social media channels, enhancing its outreach. No commercial or payment processing partners were identified, consistent with its public service nature.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a reasonable security posture with HTTPS usage and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism. However, there is no evidence of advanced security headers or publicly available security policies and incident response contacts. The use of up-to-date JavaScript libraries and CMS versioning is unclear, suggesting potential areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The site would benefit from implementing security headers and publishing a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance transparency and trust.
Recommendations
Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience across devices.
Publish explicit security and incident response policies including contact channels for abuse or security issues.
Regularly update CMS and JavaScript libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to foster responsible reporting.

Key services
Adult education courses, Integration and language courses, Digital education, Consulting and advisory services
The website is powered by Cabacos CMS version 6.4.3006, utilizing JavaScript libraries Prototype.js and Scriptaculous. Cookiebot is integrated for cookie consent management, ensuring GDPR compliance. The site uses a canonical link pointing to a related domain, indicating a structured content strategy. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in mobile responsiveness and accessibility. The calendar and search forms indicate interactive features, but no advanced frameworks or platforms like React or Angular are detected. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data found.
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.
