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

The website www.bereitschaftsdienst-hessen.de serves as an informational portal for the Ärztlicher Bereitschaftsdienst (ÄBD) in the German state of Hessen. It provides users with an interactive map and search functionality to locate medical on-call service centers, including specialized services for children and ophthalmology. The site is operated by the Kassenärztliche Vereinigung Hessen, a regional healthcare association, positioning itself as a trusted public healthcare resource for residents of Hessen. Technically, the website is built on the TYPO3 CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Leaflet for map rendering with OpenStreetMap tiles. The site is hosted on Anexia nameservers and employs HTTPS, ensuring secure communication. The design is responsive and accessible, with features like font size adjustment and high contrast modes enhancing usability. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR principles. However, it lacks explicit privacy policies, terms of service, security headers, and incident response information, which are areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or suspicious elements were detected in the content or WHOIS data, indicating a generally secure posture. Overall, the website is a reliable and professional resource for healthcare service information in Hessen, though it would benefit from enhanced privacy disclosures and security best practices to strengthen compliance and user trust.

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

    • 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

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 Kassenärztliche Vereinigung Hessen operates as a regional healthcare provider focused on delivering emergency and on-call medical services to the population of Hessen. Its business model is public service-oriented, providing critical healthcare access points through multiple ÄBD centers across the region. The website supports this by offering detailed location and operational hour information, targeting patients and healthcare consumers in need of urgent care outside regular office hours. The organization maintains a consistent brand presence and leverages partnerships with local hospitals and clinics, as indicated by references to Klinikum locations. Growth indicators include digital service enhancements such as video consultations. The absence of commercial advertising and affiliate links aligns with its public service mandate.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and cookie consent is actively managed, reflecting GDPR awareness. However, the absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, which could delay response to security events. The WHOIS data is transparent and consistent with the website's public healthcare role, reducing risk of domain spoofing or phishing. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an informational healthcare site but could be improved by adopting additional security best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to enhance legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to improve protection against common web attacks.
  3. Add a security.txt file and/or vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide clear contact information including phone numbers and emails for general and security-related inquiries.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and CMS components to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a mature and widely used content management system, indicating a stable technical foundation. It uses jQuery 3.6.0 and Leaflet for interactive map features, integrating OpenStreetMap tiles for geospatial data. The site is hosted on Anexia nameservers, suggesting professional hosting infrastructure. Performance is moderate with responsive design and accessibility features such as font size adjustment and high contrast mode. SEO is supported by appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. However, no advanced analytics or marketing tools were detected, indicating a focus on privacy and minimal tracking. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance optimizations.
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.
