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

    • 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

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 Zentrum Verkündigung der EKHN holds an important position within the Evangelische Kirche in Hessen und Nassau, focusing on supporting church activities through educational materials, events, and cultural programs. Its business model is non-profit, targeting church communities and volunteers. The organization benefits from its affiliation with EKHN, enhancing credibility and reach. Revenue streams likely include subscriptions, event fees, and sales via the online shop. The website reflects a mature partnership ecosystem with related EKHN initiatives and cultural projects. Growth indicators include active event listings and resource updates. Strategic observations suggest a focus on community engagement and digital resource provision.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to strong security posture with enforced HTTPS and secure form submissions. The use of Matomo analytics respects privacy better than many alternatives. However, the absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security or incident response policies represent gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The site would benefit from formalizing its security documentation and incident response readiness to align with best practices and compliance frameworks.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance browser security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  4. Enhance user trust by adding terms of service and vulnerability disclosure policies.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies regularly to stay compliant with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, indicating a stable and scalable infrastructure. The integration of CKEditor supports rich content editing. Hosting via SchlundTech suggests reliable German-based infrastructure. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, but mobile responsiveness and accessibility are well addressed. SEO is supported by structured data (JSON-LD) and meta tags. The use of Matomo analytics reflects a privacy-conscious approach. Technical risks are minimal, but modernization opportunities exist in security header implementation and performance tuning.
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.
