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.
  • GDPR outside view: 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

DBV holds a leading position in the German agricultural sector as a non-profit professional association. Its business model focuses on advocacy, information dissemination, and community engagement through publications and events. The association maintains partnerships with related foundations and service providers, enhancing its ecosystem. The website content is rich in agripolitical insights and thematic dossiers, supporting its role as a knowledge resource. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage suggests a controlled communication approach, likely directing users to specific pages or forms. The social media presence across major platforms supports outreach and engagement strategies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options, and no explicit security or incident response policies are published. There is no security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page, which could enhance transparency and trust. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site would benefit from publishing security policies and incident response contacts to improve its security maturity and compliance posture.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and frameworks.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, including abuse or security email addresses.
  3. Implement and configure security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Include data protection officer contact details to enhance GDPR compliance transparency.

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.
