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

zu Hause e.V. is a small non-profit organization based in Germany dedicated to the social integration of immigrants. The website provides information about integration courses, language learning, homework help, and community projects aimed at supporting immigrants in their adaptation to German society. The target audience primarily consists of immigrants and newcomers seeking educational and social support. The organization operates locally with a focus on community engagement and educational services. Technically, the website uses older JavaScript libraries such as prototype.js and scriptaculous.js, with CSS styling and lightbox functionality. The site appears to have basic mobile optimization and accessibility features but lacks modern CMS or advanced frameworks. Performance is moderate, and SEO is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags. From a security perspective, the site lacks HTTPS, security headers, and any visible privacy or cookie policies, indicating significant compliance and security gaps. No contact emails or phone numbers are provided on the main page, and no incident response or security policies are evident. These factors reduce the overall trust and security posture of the website. Overall, the website serves its informational purpose but requires urgent improvements in security, privacy compliance, and contact transparency to enhance trustworthiness and protect user data.

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

10 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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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"

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 organization operates as a non-profit entity focused on immigrant integration in Germany, offering language and integration courses, homework assistance, and community projects. Its business model is service-oriented, relying on community engagement rather than commercial revenue streams. The website content and structure suggest a local/regional market position with limited digital maturity. There are no visible partnerships or subsidiaries, and no commercial or payment processing integrations detected. Growth indicators and strategic partnerships are not evident from the website content. The organization could benefit from enhanced digital presence and clearer contact and compliance information to improve stakeholder trust and operational transparency.

Security posture

The current security posture is low due to the absence of HTTPS, lack of security headers, and missing privacy and cookie policies. The use of outdated JavaScript libraries may expose the site to known vulnerabilities. No incident response or security contact information is provided, limiting the organization's ability to handle security incidents effectively. GDPR compliance is not demonstrated, which is critical given the target audience in Germany. The site does not appear to collect user data via forms on the main page, reducing some risk, but the lack of secure communication channels and privacy transparency remains a concern. Overall, the security maturity is minimal and requires significant improvements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS across the entire website to secure data transmission and improve trust.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR requirements.
  3. Add clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security incident reporting.
  4. Update or replace outdated JavaScript libraries to mitigate potential security vulnerabilities.
  5. Introduce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses legacy JavaScript libraries (prototype.js, scriptaculous.js) and standard CSS for styling. There is no evidence of a modern CMS or advanced frameworks. The site structure is simple with static HTML pages and some PHP for contact. Performance is moderate but could be improved with modern optimization techniques. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic, with no ARIA roles or advanced accessibility features detected. SEO is minimal with basic meta tags but no structured data or Open Graph tags. Hosting provider and SSL configuration details are not available, limiting deeper technical assessment.
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.
