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

The BKK ArztFinder website is a professional service platform operated by the BKK Dachverband, aimed at assisting statutory health insurance members in Germany to find doctors, dentists, and other healthcare providers. The site offers a user-friendly search interface with multiple filtering options and links to related healthcare services such as hospital, care, and midwife finders. The platform is well-branded and consistent with the parent organization's identity. Technically, the website uses a modern frontend stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, and FontAwesome, with responsive design and accessibility features. The site implements a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR, using Matomo analytics in a privacy-conscious manner (disabled by default until consent). No major technical or security flaws are evident, though security headers and explicit security policies are absent. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and does not expose sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. However, it lacks a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. The WHOIS data is consistent with a legitimate organization, with no privacy protection or suspicious patterns, supporting the site's trustworthiness. Overall, the site is a trustworthy, well-maintained healthcare service platform with good privacy compliance and moderate security posture. Strategic improvements in security headers, incident response transparency, and vulnerability disclosure would enhance its security maturity 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

  1. 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

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 BKK ArztFinder serves a niche market within the German statutory health insurance sector, providing a valuable service to insured individuals seeking healthcare providers. Its business model is service-oriented, focusing on user convenience and information accessibility rather than direct revenue generation. The platform benefits from strong partnerships with related healthcare finder services and the official 116117 appointment service, enhancing its ecosystem and user value. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a centralized support model via web forms. The site’s consistent branding and official domain reinforce its credibility and market position as a trusted healthcare information source.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. The use of Matomo analytics with opt-in respects user privacy. However, the absence of HTTP security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS), lack of a published security policy, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure information indicate areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site would benefit from implementing security headers, publishing a security policy, and establishing clear incident response contacts to improve security maturity and compliance with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user guidance.
  3. Establish and publicize incident response contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses).
  4. Create and maintain a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and widely supported technology stack including jQuery 3.7.1, Bootstrap 5.3.7, Popper.js, and FontAwesome 6.7.2, ensuring good compatibility and responsiveness. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with no obvious bottlenecks but potential for optimization. The absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting details are not explicit but the domain uses consistent name servers ns.udag.de/net/org, indicating stable infrastructure. Overall, the technical implementation supports a reliable and user-friendly experience with room for performance tuning and enhanced security configurations.
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.
