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. 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

    • 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

Business profile

The Allianz für Cyber-Sicherheit operates as a government-driven cooperative platform, leveraging the authority and expertise of the BSI. Its market position is that of a leading national cybersecurity authority, providing unique value through trusted information exchange and exclusive partner offerings. The business model centers on free participation for institutions meeting eligibility criteria, fostering a collaborative ecosystem. Revenue streams are not commercial but stem from government funding and partnerships. The target customers include IT service providers, manufacturers, user companies of all sizes, and critical infrastructure operators. Growth is indicated by a large participant base (8658 members as of October 2025) and active event offerings. The partnership ecosystem includes multiple cybersecurity firms and government bodies, enhancing the platform's reach and impact.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent banners, and adherence to the Traffic Light Protocol (TLP) for handling confidential information. The presence of ISO 27001 certification indicates a formalized information security management system. No vulnerabilities or security misconfigurations were detected in the analyzed content. However, the site could improve by publishing a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures and by explicitly listing security headers in HTTP responses. Incident response contact information is not prominently displayed, which could be enhanced to improve readiness and transparency. Overall, the security culture appears strong, supported by government standards and best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a security.txt file to formalize vulnerability disclosure processes.
  2. Enhance visibility of incident response contact channels on the website.
  3. Explicitly implement and document HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Continue regular updates and audits to maintain ISO 27001 certification and compliance.
  5. Expand user education materials to include emerging threats and advanced cybersecurity practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a specialized government CMS (Government Site Builder) optimized for accessibility and responsive design. It uses modern front-end libraries such as Slick Slider and integrates Matomo for privacy-respecting analytics. The site loads with moderate speed and is mobile-optimized. The technical infrastructure appears stable and well-maintained, hosted likely on federal government infrastructure (itzbund.de). There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries. Opportunities exist to improve performance by optimizing image delivery and leveraging HTTP/2 or newer protocols if not already in use. Technical risks are minimal but should be monitored continuously given the critical nature of the content.
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.
