Beratungsstelle gegen sexualisierte Gewalt is a specialized non-profit counseling center based in Bonn, Germany, providing professional support, training, and prevention services related to sexualized violence. The organization targets victims, their relatives, and professionals, positioning itself as a regional leader in this sensitive field with approximately 40 years of operational history. The website clearly communicates its mission, services, and projects, supported by a consistent brand presence and active social media channels. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins and themes, offering good mobile optimization and accessibility features. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though it lacks some advanced security headers and published security policies.

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

6 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

  2. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

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 organization operates in the non-profit sector focused on social counseling and victim support. Its business model revolves around providing free, professional services including counseling, training, and public awareness projects. The website indicates a stable market position within the Bonn and Rhein-Sieg Kreis region, supported by a network of projects and funding acknowledgments. The target audience includes victims of sexualized violence, their families, and professionals requiring specialized training. The site’s content and structure suggest a mature digital presence with strategic use of social media and SEO tools to reach its audience. No direct revenue streams are visible, consistent with a non-profit model. Partnerships or subsidiaries are not explicitly mentioned, indicating an independent operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data. The use of accessibility and SEO plugins indicates attention to best practices. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which could hinder timely handling of security issues. No signs of malware, phishing, or other threats were detected. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the organization's scope but could be improved with additional policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with EU cookie laws and improve privacy compliance.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  4. Consider creating a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party plugins and themes to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1 using the Salient theme and WPBakery Page Builder, supported by plugins such as All in One SEO, Boxzilla, and WP Accessibility. The tech stack is modern and widely supported, facilitating good SEO and accessibility. Performance is moderate, with lazy loading of images and responsive design for mobile devices. No critical technical debt or deprecated libraries were detected. Hosting provider details are not disclosed in the HTML or WHOIS data. The site uses standard web technologies including jQuery and various JavaScript libraries for UI enhancements. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with room for minor improvements in security headers and cookie management.
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.
