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.

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 · found on this site
  • 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 Landesverband Bayern holds a significant position as a regional health insurance association in Bavaria, representing multiple Betriebskrankenkassen. Its business model revolves around advocacy, coordination, and service provision to member funds and insured persons. The organization leverages partnerships with member BKKs, evidenced by multiple linked domains. The website content and press releases indicate active engagement in healthcare policy, innovation, and preventive health initiatives. The presence of campaigns like 'Mach Dich unkaputtbar' and participation in health congresses highlight a proactive approach to public health promotion. The organization appears medium-sized with a focused regional scope and a stable market position within the German healthcare insurance landscape.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent mechanisms that comply with GDPR requirements. The use of Google reCAPTCHA on forms adds protection against automated abuse. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options were not detected in the HTML content, which could be improved to enhance security. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analysis. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact is a minor gap. Overall, the site follows best practices but could strengthen its security headers and transparency regarding security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and dependencies to prevent vulnerabilities.
  5. Maintain and enhance cookie consent mechanisms to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, indicating a stable and scalable infrastructure. It uses modern frontend technologies including Bootstrap 5.2.3 for responsive design, jQuery 3.7.1 for DOM manipulation, and Swiper.js and Flickity for interactive sliders. The site integrates Matomo for analytics, providing privacy-conscious tracking. Hosting is provided by SchlundTech, a reputable German hosting provider, consistent with the site's regional focus. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from spam. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with room for minor improvements in security headers and performance tuning.
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.
