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.

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The initiative holds a strong market position as a government-backed campaign in Germany, focusing on food waste reduction. Its business model is non-commercial, centered on public awareness and education. The target audience includes households and consumers interested in sustainability. The website supports this with key services like educational content, a mobile app for leftover recipes, and annual campaigns. Partnerships with other government entities and organizations are evident through linked domains. The content quality and branding consistency reinforce its credibility and trustworthiness.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, secure cookie attributes, and a cookie consent mechanism. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security or incident response policies indicate room for improvement. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but could enhance transparency and defense-in-depth measures.
Recommendations
Implement additional security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen browser security.
Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
Enhance contact information visibility for security-related inquiries.
Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, ensuring maintainability and scalability. It uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, FontAwesome, Slick Carousel, and Leaflet.js for interactive features and mapping. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with lazy loading of images and asynchronous script loading. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were observed, indicating a well-maintained infrastructure.
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.
