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

4 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
  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

Business profile

The BKK Dachverband operates as an important non-profit entity within the German healthcare sector, focusing on statutory health insurance funds. Its business model revolves around advocacy, policy shaping, and providing informational resources to its members and the public. The organization leverages a broad network of member funds and regional associations, enhancing its influence and reach. Its digital presence supports multiple specialized tools such as doctor, midwife, clinic, and care finders, indicating a service-oriented approach to member and insured support. The association's green hosting and privacy-conscious analytics reflect a commitment to sustainability and data protection, aligning with modern organizational values. The absence of direct contact details on the homepage suggests a focus on structured communication channels possibly deeper in the site or via member organizations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, cookie consent mechanisms, and use of privacy-respecting analytics (Matomo). No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options and lack of published security or incident response policies indicate areas for improvement. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure information is present, which could enhance transparency and trust. Overall, the site is secure for general use but could benefit from enhanced security hardening and published policies to meet best practices and compliance standards fully.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide incident response contact information to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a security.txt file at the root domain to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Consider adding explicit contact information on the website for general inquiries and security incidents to improve user trust and communication.
  5. Continue monitoring and updating third-party libraries and CMS components to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used open-source content management system, indicating a stable and scalable infrastructure. The use of jQuery and custom JavaScript for UI components and cookie consent management is standard and well-implemented. Hosting on a green hosting provider aligns with sustainability goals but may impact performance depending on infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as skip navigation links and ARIA attributes. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter card metadata. Performance is moderate, with minified CSS and JavaScript assets. No critical technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected, but the site could benefit from enhanced security headers and more explicit technical documentation.
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.
