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

Wohnungsgenossenschaft Duisburg-Mitte eG is a well-established housing cooperative based in Duisburg, Germany, with a history spanning over 125 years. The organization focuses on providing affordable, needs-based housing, modernizing properties with energy-efficient solutions, and fostering social engagement within the community. Their services include rental housing, guest apartments, repair services, and social programs, targeting local residents and cooperative members. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear contact information and active social media presence. Technically, the website employs modern frontend technologies such as Bootstrap, jQuery, and various UI libraries, ensuring good mobile responsiveness and user experience. However, there is no indication of a CMS, suggesting a custom-built or static site. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. SEO and accessibility are basic to good but could be improved further. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS but lacks visible security headers and a vulnerability disclosure policy. No cookie consent mechanism is present, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. The WHOIS data aligns well with the business claims, indicating legitimacy and consistent domain registration practices. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced security measures, privacy compliance improvements, and formalized policies to strengthen user trust and regulatory adherence.

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

6 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
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

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 company holds a strong regional market position as a medium-sized housing cooperative with over 1,800 apartments and 800 garage units. Its business model centers on providing affordable housing with a social mission, including modernization projects and community programs. The cooperative benefits from partnerships with regional and national housing associations, enhancing its credibility and operational support. The target audience includes local residents, families, seniors, and cooperative members seeking long-term housing solutions. Growth indicators include ongoing modernization and sustainability projects such as decarbonization and solar energy initiatives. The company leverages social media channels to engage with members and the community, although digital marketing and analytics usage appear minimal.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled, which is mandatory. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces its defense against common web attacks. No security or incident response policies are publicly disclosed, and no dedicated security contact channels exist. The obfuscation of email addresses is a positive measure against scraping. There is no evidence of vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data in the provided content. The lack of a cookie consent mechanism and privacy policy details indicates partial GDPR compliance. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website against attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with GDPR and enhance user transparency.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and establish clear incident response contact channels to improve vulnerability disclosure and response readiness.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards, improving usability for all users and compliance.
  5. Consider integrating analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to better understand user behavior and improve services while maintaining compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern frontend stack with Bootstrap for responsive design, FontAwesome for icons, and jQuery-based plugins for UI components such as carousels and modals. The site is custom-developed without a detectable CMS, which may increase maintenance overhead but allows tailored functionality. Performance is moderate, with video backgrounds and multiple CSS/JS assets that could be optimized. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured navigation, but no JSON-LD or Open Graph metadata was detected. Mobile optimization is good, with separate header layouts for desktop and mobile. Accessibility is basic, with no ARIA landmarks or advanced features detected. Hosting details are not explicit, but DNS name servers indicate professional DNS management. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced SEO/metadata integration.
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.
