65/100

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

The website arztsuchehessen.de is an official regional healthcare service platform operated by the Kassenärztliche Vereinigung Hessen, a public law corporation in Frankfurt/Main, Germany. It provides a comprehensive search tool for residents to find doctors, psychotherapists, and medical on-call services within Hessen. The platform offers detailed filtering options by specialty, location, gender, status, and additional qualifications, supporting users in locating appropriate healthcare providers efficiently. The site is professionally designed with consistent branding and clear navigation, targeting the general public in Hessen seeking medical services. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including jQuery 3.7.1 and Livewire components, hosted on Anexia infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized and uses SVG icons for a rich user interface. Performance is moderate with good SEO practices evident through meta tags and structured metadata. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved to meet higher standards. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and up-to-date JavaScript libraries, reducing risks from known vulnerabilities. However, no explicit security headers were detected, and there is no visible privacy policy, cookie consent mechanism, or incident response information, which are important for GDPR compliance and user trust. No advertising or tracking scripts were found, indicating minimal user tracking. Overall, the website is a trustworthy and professional healthcare directory with strong business credibility but could enhance its privacy compliance and security posture by adding relevant policies, consent mechanisms, and security headers. These improvements would strengthen user trust and regulatory adherence.

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

5 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 Kassenärztliche Vereinigung Hessen operates this platform as a public healthcare service, positioning itself as the authoritative source for medical professional searches in Hessen. Its business model focuses on providing a free, official directory to support patient access to healthcare providers. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its official status, comprehensive filtering options, and integration with regional healthcare services. Revenue streams are likely public funding or healthcare system support rather than direct monetization. The target customers are residents and patients in Hessen, healthcare professionals, and possibly healthcare administrators. The partnership ecosystem includes related healthcare service sites such as ärztlicher Bereitschaftsdienst and ASV-Team. Strategic observations suggest a focus on digital accessibility of healthcare information and integration with public health initiatives.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and use of current JavaScript libraries. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable components were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others is a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. The lack of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. GDPR compliance is incomplete due to missing privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. The security culture appears functional but could benefit from formalizing policies and enhancing technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publicly display a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR-compliant consent mechanisms.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to comply with WCAG standards for better inclusivity.
  5. Regularly audit third-party libraries and dependencies to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including jQuery 3.7.1 and Livewire, indicating a Laravel backend ecosystem. The use of SVG icons and responsive design suggests attention to UI/UX quality. Hosting is provided by Anexia, a reputable provider. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. The site lacks visible CMS identification but appears custom-built or framework-based. Technical debt is low based on current observations, but the absence of security headers and privacy compliance features indicates areas for modernization and risk mitigation. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business goals but should evolve to meet higher security and compliance standards.
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.
