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. 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

    • 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

  2. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  3. 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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The initiative occupies a niche non-profit sector serving the evangelical community in Germany, providing trusted information and services around testament and legacy planning. Its business model is educational and service-oriented without commercial sales. The website's partnership with www.nichtsvergessen.de indicates a broader ecosystem of related initiatives. The presence of online seminars and telephone consultations suggests active engagement with the target audience. The domain and hosting setup are consistent with a medium-sized non-profit organization. Growth potential lies in expanding digital offerings and partnerships within the church and social service sectors.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent, and a comprehensive privacy policy. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which is a gap for transparency. No security headers like CSP or X-Frame-Options were detected in the provided data, which could enhance protection. The use of Matomo analytics with disabled cookies by default indicates privacy-conscious tracking. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but could improve by publishing incident response contacts and adding security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Add and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish an incident response or abuse contact page or email to improve transparency and readiness for security incidents.
  3. Consider implementing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance SEO by adding meaningful meta descriptions and keywords to improve search engine visibility.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom CMS (Edith CMS) with a frontend built on jQuery, jQuery UI, and Bootstrap components, indicating a mature but somewhat traditional tech stack. Matomo analytics is used for privacy-friendly tracking. The site loads multiple CSS and JS bundles for modularity. Hosting is provided by w-commerce.de, a known provider for church and non-profit organizations. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading and responsive design. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles are present, contributing to good usability. The site could benefit from modern frontend frameworks for improved performance and maintainability but currently meets functional requirements well.
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.
