Their services include organizing events, publishing policy papers, and fostering networks among health promotion stakeholders. The content is professionally presented in German, targeting health professionals, policymakers, and members. Technically, the site uses a custom CMS with ASP pages, Bootstrap 4 for responsive design, and self-hosted Matomo analytics, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity and privacy awareness.

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

7 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: RDP

      Port 3389 (RDP) is publicly accessible - RDP - Remote Desktop, prime ransomware target

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to RDP 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 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

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

BVPG holds a strong market position as a federally supported umbrella organization in the German healthcare prevention sector. Its business model is non-profit, focusing on advocacy, networking, and knowledge dissemination rather than commercial revenue. The organization targets government bodies, health promotion professionals, and its membership base. The website's content and structure support these goals effectively, with clear navigation and relevant resources. The presence of social media links and newsletters indicates active engagement strategies. No commercial or advertising elements are present, consistent with its non-profit status. The domain and hosting setup are stable and appropriate for the organization's profile.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism that respects user privacy. The use of a self-hosted Matomo instance reduces reliance on third-party trackers. However, the absence of key security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts represent gaps in security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site would benefit from formalizing security documentation and adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit informational site but could be enhanced to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to harden the site against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page including contact channels for reporting security issues.
  3. Add a security.txt file at the root domain to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with WCAG standards.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom ASP-based CMS platform with Bootstrap 4 and jQuery 3 for frontend responsiveness and interactivity. The use of self-hosted Matomo analytics demonstrates a privacy-conscious approach to user tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with separate CSS for different screen sizes and includes print styles. Performance is moderate, with no obvious heavy scripts or resources. The domain is hosted with GoDaddy DNS services, a common and reliable provider. The HTML is well-structured with appropriate meta tags for SEO and viewport settings for mobile devices. Some minor improvements could be made in accessibility and modern security practices.
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.
