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.

  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. 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 association holds a strong regional position as the umbrella organization for 27 water and soil associations, focusing on advocacy and information dissemination. Its business model is non-profit, serving member organizations rather than commercial customers. The website supports this by listing job vacancies within member associations and providing resources such as studies and publications. The partnership with progewaesser.de indicates collaboration within the water management ecosystem. The absence of commercial advertising or tracking suggests a focus on privacy and member service rather than monetization. Growth indicators are subtle but include ongoing job postings and updated content. The organization appears stable with consistent domain registration and professional web presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposed sensitive data. The presence of SiteLock and Siwecos security seals indicates active monitoring. However, the lack of explicit security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) and absence of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces the maturity level. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files are present. Forms are present but no explicit anti-CSRF or input validation details are visible. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but could improve transparency and technical defenses.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance browser security.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users, including those with disabilities.
  5. Improve SEO metadata completeness and add terms of service to cover legal aspects comprehensively.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses the Contao CMS platform, a well-established open-source CMS, combined with modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Rocksolid Slider, and Modernizr for feature detection. The site loads multiple CSS and JS bundles, indicating modular design. Google Fonts are used for typography. The site is mobile responsive and includes accessibility features such as skip navigation links. Performance is moderate, with no major blocking scripts detected. No analytics or tracking scripts were found, indicating minimal data collection. Hosting provider details are not explicit but DNS uses UI-DNS name servers. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid with room for optimization in security headers and SEO.
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.
