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

Freier Waldorfkindergarten Magdeburg operates as a small, local educational institution focused on providing Waldorf-based kindergarten services in Magdeburg, Germany. The website presents a clear structure with detailed information about their pedagogical approach, facilities, and family engagement programs.

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

9 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

  2. Network security

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

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

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

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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

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 · found on this site
  • 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 kindergarten holds a niche position in the education sector, focusing on Waldorf pedagogy, which differentiates it from conventional kindergartens. Its key services include educational programs, family meeting points, and community events. The website's content and navigation support a positive user experience for its target audience. There is no evidence of commercial revenue streams or advertising, consistent with a non-profit model. The absence of social media links or external partnerships suggests a localized operational scope. The organization maintains a consistent brand presence and provides essential information through its imprint and contact pages, supporting credibility.

Security posture

The site benefits from HTTPS encryption, ensuring secure data transmission. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense against common web attacks. No incident response or security policy information is available, which may limit preparedness for security events. The lack of cookie consent mechanisms indicates partial GDPR compliance. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, minimizing privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, privacy notices, and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with GDPR requirements.
  3. Publish a clear privacy policy with GDPR compliance statements and data protection officer contact if applicable.
  4. Include visible company contact emails and phone numbers to improve transparency and user trust.
  5. Establish an incident response policy and provide dedicated security contact channels.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder and several plugins for enhanced UI/UX such as Bellows menu and Essential Addons. Hosting is provided by Estugo Webhosting, with multiple name servers indicating stable DNS configuration. The site loads scripts asynchronously and uses web fonts for branding consistency. Performance is moderate with no major blocking scripts detected. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and adaptive menus. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with ARIA roles and better keyboard navigation support. SEO is basic with meta tags and canonical links but lacks advanced structured data beyond minimal schema.org WebPage markup.
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.
