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

BKK Faber-Castell & Partner is a German statutory health insurance provider offering premium health services and customer-centric benefits. The company targets a broad demographic including families, seniors, students, and active individuals, emphasizing personalized service and digital convenience such as online membership and expert consultations. Their market position is regional with a focus on premium offerings and high customer satisfaction, supported by positive testimonials and a comprehensive bonus program. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS with modern frontend technologies including Bootstrap, Swiper.js, and jQuery. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and responsive design. Hosting details are not explicit but use multiple name servers from a hosting provider. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility features. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling, but lacks explicit HTTP security headers and incident response contact information. Privacy compliance is strong with a clear GDPR-compliant privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-aligned with the business goals. Strategic improvements in security headers, accessibility, and incident response transparency would enhance the security and compliance posture further.

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. Network security

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

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • 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
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 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
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  3. 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

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

Business profile

BKK Faber-Castell & Partner operates as a statutory health insurance company in Germany, focusing on premium health services and customer satisfaction. Their business model revolves around providing comprehensive health insurance benefits, including bonus programs, expert services, and digital tools for members. The company targets diverse customer segments such as seniors, families, students, and active individuals, leveraging personalized service and regional presence. Their partnership ecosystem includes subdomains dedicated to health campaigns and online services, enhancing member engagement. Growth indicators include active online membership options and positive customer testimonials. The company maintains a consistent brand image and professional content, supporting a strong market position in the healthcare sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and secure data collection via validated forms. Cookie consent mechanisms align with GDPR requirements, enhancing privacy compliance. However, the absence of explicit HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. Overall, the security culture appears adequate but would benefit from enhanced transparency and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Regularly update and audit third-party libraries and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet recognized standards and improve user inclusivity.
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, combined with frontend technologies such as Bootstrap (versions 3.3.7 and 5.2.2), jQuery 1.12.4, Swiper.js for carousels, and fslightbox for lightbox functionality. The site uses Powermail, a TYPO3 extension, for form handling with client-side validation. Hosting is managed via multiple name servers under the agenturserver domain, indicating a professional hosting environment. Performance is moderate with lazy loading images and responsive design, though some legacy libraries like jQuery 1.12.4 could be updated. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and canonical links. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but could benefit from modernization 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.
