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

7 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

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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

DAG holds a strong market position as the authoritative German society on obesity, serving a specialized audience of healthcare professionals and researchers. Its non-profit model focuses on education, research promotion, and advocacy rather than commercial activities. The organization leverages partnerships with international and national health bodies, enhancing its credibility and reach. Revenue streams likely include membership fees, event registrations, and publication subscriptions. The website supports these activities with event calendars, membership information, and educational content. The presence of partner domains and scientific collaborations indicates a robust ecosystem. Growth indicators include active congresses and updated content. Strategic observations suggest continued emphasis on digital engagement and expanding public awareness.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from abuse. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security represents an area for improvement. There is no visible incident response or security policy documentation, which could enhance transparency and preparedness. Privacy compliance is good but could be strengthened by implementing explicit cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but would benefit from adopting additional best practices to harden defenses and improve compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information to build trust and clarify procedures.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Gantry5 and UIkit frameworks, supported by jQuery and Owl Carousel for interactive elements. Google reCAPTCHA v3 is integrated for spam protection. The site loads asynchronously and uses lazy loading for images, improving performance. Meta tags and SEO elements are well implemented, supporting discoverability. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design. Accessibility is basic but present. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit but the domain uses multiple authoritative name servers. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading speed and accessibility enhancements.
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.
