Security score

40/100

Risk levelHigh

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

The BVDP Berufsverband Deutscher Psychiater website serves as the official online presence of the German professional association for psychiatrists. It provides information, networking opportunities, and representation for psychiatrists in Germany. The site is built on a WordPress platform using the Divi theme, enhanced with SEO tools like Yoast and analytics via Matomo, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The technical infrastructure is standard for professional association websites, hosted by securehost.de, and optimized for mobile devices with good navigation and content relevance. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data, but lacks advanced security headers and formal security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies, which is a notable compliance gap. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security transparency to improve 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

9 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

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3

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 BVDP operates as a medium-sized professional association in the healthcare sector, targeting psychiatrists in Germany. Its business model focuses on member services including information dissemination, networking, and advocacy. The website positions the association as a key national body within the psychiatric community, leveraging digital tools for outreach and engagement. The absence of detailed business registration data limits deeper insights, but the domain age and content suggest a legitimate and established entity. The use of Matomo analytics reflects a preference for privacy-conscious data collection. There is no evidence of commercial activities such as advertising or affiliate marketing, consistent with a non-profit or professional association model. Strategic growth could be supported by enhancing digital compliance and security frameworks.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS encryption and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, it lacks implementation of critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate common web attacks. There is no public incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy, which reduces transparency and preparedness perception. The use of standard WordPress plugins and themes requires vigilant patch management to avoid vulnerabilities. Privacy compliance is insufficient, with no privacy or cookie policies detected, risking GDPR non-compliance. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires improvements in policy publication, security headers, and privacy mechanisms to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Create and publish a security incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy (security.txt).
  4. Enhance transparency by providing clear contact information including security and data protection officer contacts.
  5. Regularly audit and update all WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with the Divi theme, a popular and flexible CMS platform. SEO is supported by Yoast SEO plugin, and analytics are handled by Matomo, a privacy-focused tool. Hosting is provided by securehost.de, a German hosting provider, which aligns with the target audience location. The site loads with moderate performance and is mobile optimized. Accessibility features are basic but present. The technical stack is modern and standard for professional association websites but lacks advanced security configurations. There is opportunity to improve technical robustness by adding security headers and enhancing privacy compliance mechanisms.
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.
