Security score

80/100

Risk levelLow

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

Aktion Deutschland Hilft is a prominent alliance of German humanitarian aid organizations focused on providing rapid disaster relief and emergency aid. The website serves as a donation portal and information hub, emphasizing its TÜV certification and partnership with ARD, a major German broadcaster. The target audience includes donors and supporters interested in humanitarian causes, particularly related to crises in Ukraine, Sudan, and earthquake-affected regions in Turkey and Syria. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS, hosted on AWS infrastructure, and employs modern frontend technologies such as Bootstrap and Font Awesome. The site is mobile-optimized and presents a professional design with good SEO and accessibility basics. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled, but lacks explicit security headers and detailed security or incident response policies. Privacy compliance is limited, with no visible privacy or cookie policies or consent mechanisms in the provided content. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but could improve transparency and compliance documentation.

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

2 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.

    • 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

  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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 alliance coordinating multiple German aid organizations to streamline humanitarian efforts and donations. Its market position is strong within Germany, supported by certifications and media partnerships that enhance credibility. The business model relies on donations and public support for emergency and disaster relief services. The website targets German-speaking donors and humanitarian supporters, leveraging trusted branding and consistent messaging. The absence of detailed business registration or founding year in the content limits deeper business intelligence. The partnership with ARD and TÜV certification are key trust and market positioning factors.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and is hosted on reputable AWS infrastructure, indicating a baseline of security. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others suggests room for improvement in hardening the site against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which could hinder timely reporting and handling of security issues. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The security score is moderate, reflecting good fundamentals but missing advanced security practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add security headers to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Provide a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Publish incident response contact information to improve security transparency and readiness.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and extensible content management system, indicating a stable technical foundation. Hosting on AWS DNS servers suggests reliable infrastructure. Frontend technologies include Bootstrap for responsive design and Font Awesome for icons, supporting good mobile optimization and user interface consistency. The site uses proper meta tags for SEO and social media integration via Open Graph and Twitter Cards. Performance is moderate, with no explicit indicators of slow loading or technical debt in the provided content. However, the absence of advanced analytics or tracking scripts suggests minimal user data collection. Technical risks are low but could be mitigated by improving security headers and privacy compliance.
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.
