Business Intelligence

Market & Strategic Analysis

Circular Berlin operates as a non-profit entity focused on the circular economy sector within Berlin, Germany. The organization leverages community building, education, and knowledge dissemination as its primary business model. It targets local circular economy actors, educators, and practitioners, positioning itself as a hub for sustainable urban development. The website indicates active engagement through events, workshops, and a membership community, supported by partnerships with platforms like Eventbrite and a presence on social media channels. Revenue streams likely include donations, grants, and membership fees, consistent with non-profit operations. The organization demonstrates growth potential through educational offerings and community expansion, supported by transparent governance and financial disclosures.

Security Posture Analysis

Comprehensive Security Assessment

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections in place. The absence of DNSSEC and some security headers represents areas for improvement. The cookie consent implementation aligns with GDPR requirements, reflecting good privacy practices. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. However, the lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The use of Matomo analytics indicates a privacy-conscious approach to user tracking. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit but would benefit from enhanced DNS security, security headers, and formalized incident response documentation.
