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

Aktion Mensch e.V. is Germany's largest private funding organization dedicated to supporting social projects for people with and without disabilities. The organization operates primarily through a lottery business model, funding inclusion campaigns and social initiatives. Their website is professionally designed, accessible, and provides comprehensive information and services to a broad audience interested in social inclusion and disability support. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries, a tag management system (Tealium), and appears to be built on a CMS platform likely Sitecore. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though some security headers and explicit security policies are not evident. Overall, the domain and website content are consistent and trustworthy, reflecting a mature non-profit organization with a strong market position in Germany.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Critical

      DNS Resolution Failed

      Unable to resolve domain A records

      What to do: Verify domain is properly configured and not expired

    • High

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain: aktionmensch-de01e.mail.protection.outlook.com

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

      • RFC 5321 §5.1
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory
      • NIST CM-8: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-8: System Component Inventory

  2. 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

  3. 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 holds a leading position in the German non-profit sector focused on social inclusion. Its revenue streams are primarily from lottery ticket sales and donations, which fund social projects and campaigns. The website targets a general audience including people with disabilities, their families, and supporters of social causes. The partnership with familienratgeber.de indicates a broader ecosystem supporting families and social welfare. The business model is sustainable and well-established, with clear branding and trust signals. Growth indicators include extensive content, campaigns, and digital engagement through accessible and mobile-optimized platforms.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, frame busting scripts to prevent clickjacking, and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. However, the absence of visible security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of a published security policy or incident response contacts suggest room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The organization should consider publishing a security policy and establishing a vulnerability disclosure program to enhance transparency and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention policies and user privacy practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including JavaScript libraries like Flatpickr for date picking and Slick Carousel for UI elements. Tealium is used for tag management and analytics, indicating a mature digital marketing infrastructure. The probable use of Sitecore CMS suggests enterprise-grade content management capabilities. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured data. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading times and resource management. No critical technical debt or risks were identified from the provided data.
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.
