Bundesamt für Migration und Flüchtlinge · Government · Germany
Medium risk. 4 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view and SSL/TLS.
The Bundesamt für Migration und Flüchtlinge (BAMF) is a German federal government agency responsible for migration, asylum, refugee protection, integration, and voluntary return programs. The website serves as an official information and service portal targeting migrants, refugees, government entities, and the general public interested in migration-related topics in Germany. It offers comprehensive content, including thematic areas, news, publications, and service center information. The site is well-branded, professionally designed, and provides multi-language support to cater to diverse audiences. Technically, the website is built on the Government Site Builder CMS, a platform tailored for German federal administration websites. It uses modern web standards including HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced SEO and accessibility. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with a moderate performance profile. Hosting is managed within the German federal infrastructure, ensuring reliability and compliance with government standards. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements a cookie consent mechanism with opt-in for statistical tracking via Matomo. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, explicit security headers and a public security policy or incident response contact are not present, representing areas for improvement. The WHOIS data confirms the domain's legitimacy as a government entity with consistent registration and hosting details. Overall, the BAMF website demonstrates a high level of professionalism, trustworthiness, and compliance with privacy regulations such as GDPR. It effectively supports its mission to provide migration-related information and services to its target audience while maintaining a secure and user-friendly online presence.
Scanned
NIS2 Art. 21(2)
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.

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.
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.

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.
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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.
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.
