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

5 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. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 23 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

BGF Koordinierungsstelle occupies a niche advisory role within the German workplace health promotion ecosystem, focusing on SMEs that often lack resources for comprehensive health programs. Its business model is non-profit and collaborative, involving statutory health insurance funds as partners. The website reflects a mature digital presence with clear service offerings, regional event promotion, and client testimonials enhancing credibility. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a controlled communication channel via web forms, likely for quality and privacy reasons. The partnership ecosystem includes recognized organizations like iga-info.de and stadtmission-mensch.de, reinforcing its market position. Growth indicators include active event listings and updated content. The site’s strategic focus on SMEs aligns with broader public health and workforce sustainability goals in Germany.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism that respects user privacy. The use of Matomo analytics is privacy-conscious, activated only upon user consent. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement to mitigate risks like clickjacking and cross-site scripting. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the security maturity is good for a non-profit advisory site but could be enhanced by adopting additional HTTP security headers and publishing formal security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to minimize potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance direct contact options with verified company emails or phone numbers to improve user trust and communication.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Elementor page builder, supported by jQuery and AblePlayer for media content. It employs Yoast SEO for search engine optimization and Matomo for analytics, respecting user privacy via consent mechanisms. Hosting is provided by agenturserver, indicated by the nameservers. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility features and a clear navigation structure. Performance is moderate, with preloading of fonts and optimized images. The use of modern HTML5 and CSS3 standards is evident, along with fallback scripts for older browsers. No critical technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and enhance performance monitoring.
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.
