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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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

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 site occupies a niche in public health and addiction prevention, serving as an authoritative resource in Germany. Its non-profit, government-backed model focuses on education, counseling, and support services rather than commercial revenue. The presence of partner domains linked to related government health organizations indicates a collaborative ecosystem. The clear presentation of services and multiple contact channels supports strong user engagement and trust. The absence of advertising or affiliate marketing aligns with its non-commercial mission.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, anonymized IP tracking in analytics, and a clear cookie consent mechanism. However, it lacks published security policies, incident response contacts, and visible security headers such as CSP or HSTS. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The site would benefit from publishing a security policy and implementing additional HTTP security headers to enhance protection and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page and incident response contact information.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Consider providing direct contact emails for data protection officer or security team to improve transparency.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and update CMS and extensions to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, ensuring a stable and secure platform. The use of Matomo analytics configured for privacy compliance indicates a strong focus on user data protection. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured data. Performance is moderate, likely due to image sizes and CMS overhead, but overall user experience is smooth. Hosting appears to be German-based, supporting data sovereignty and compliance with local regulations. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and publish more detailed security 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.
