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

The Antidiskriminierungsstelle des Bundes is a German federal government agency dedicated to combating discrimination and providing support to affected individuals. The website serves as an official portal offering comprehensive information about discrimination laws, consultation services, research, and publications. It targets individuals experiencing discrimination, public authorities, and the general public seeking information or assistance. The agency operates under a public service model, funded by the government, and holds a strong market position as the central anti-discrimination authority in Germany. Technically, the website is built on the Government Site Builder CMS, featuring a modern and accessible design optimized for mobile devices. It employs Matomo analytics with a clear cookie consent mechanism, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure with moderate performance. The site demonstrates good SEO and accessibility practices, ensuring broad usability and compliance with privacy regulations. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and provides cookie consent controls, but lacks explicit security policy documentation and incident response contacts. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious elements were detected. The WHOIS data aligns with the official government entity, confirming legitimacy and trustworthiness. Overall, the website presents a professional, secure, and privacy-conscious platform that effectively supports its mission. Strategic improvements could include publishing a dedicated security policy and incident response information to enhance transparency and trust further.

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, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The agency holds a unique position as a government entity focused on anti-discrimination, providing legal information, consultation, and research. Its competitive advantage lies in official backing and comprehensive service offerings. The business model is non-commercial, emphasizing public service and legal compliance. The target customers are individuals facing discrimination and institutions requiring guidance. Growth indicators include active publication of reports and studies, and engagement through social media. The partnership ecosystem includes government bodies and civil society organizations. Operationally, the agency maintains a consistent brand and high content quality, reinforcing its authoritative market presence.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with enforced HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms. The absence of security headers and a public security policy are areas for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found. Incident response readiness is not publicly documented, which could be a compliance gap. The use of Matomo analytics with opt-in consent aligns with GDPR principles. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing security policies and disclosure practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, including security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Consider creating and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  5. Maintain and regularly review cookie consent mechanisms to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a government-specific CMS (Government Site Builder) with a modern responsive design and good accessibility features. It uses standard web technologies including CSS and JavaScript, and integrates Matomo for analytics with user consent. Performance is moderate, with no major technical debt visible in the HTML content. The site structure and metadata are well implemented, supporting SEO and usability. Hosting details are not explicitly stated but the domain and infrastructure suggest official government hosting. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and incident response transparency to reduce technical risks.
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.
