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

The Contergan Infoportal website serves as the official online presence of the Conterganstiftung, a German government foundation dedicated to supporting individuals affected by thalidomide-related disabilities. The foundation provides statutory benefits including pensions, specific needs payments, advisory services, and research funding to improve the quality of life and societal participation of affected persons. The website is professionally designed using TYPO3 CMS and Bootstrap, offering a responsive and accessible user experience primarily in German. It features comprehensive content about the foundation's mission, services, news, and contact information, targeting affected individuals, their families, and professionals. Technically, the site is hosted on Schlund Technologies infrastructure with secure HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms in place, reflecting good digital maturity. However, explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not published, representing an area for improvement. Overall, the site demonstrates a strong security posture with no detected vulnerabilities or suspicious elements, and complies well with GDPR requirements. The domain registration and hosting details align with the foundation's official status, supporting high legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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

6 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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';…

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 Conterganstiftung operates as a statutory government foundation in Germany, focusing on social welfare for people with disabilities caused by thalidomide. Its market position is stable and authoritative, backed by legal mandates. The business model is non-profit and service-oriented, funded by government allocations and possibly donations. Key services include pension disbursement, specific needs funding, advisory support, and research promotion. The target audience includes affected individuals, healthcare providers, and policymakers. The foundation maintains a professional online presence with consistent branding and clear communication. There is no indication of commercial revenue streams or advertising. The partnership ecosystem is limited to government and healthcare sectors, with no evident commercial partners. Growth indicators are not explicit but the site shows ongoing updates and active communication. Strategic observations suggest maintaining strong compliance and expanding transparency around security and incident management could enhance stakeholder trust.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism that aligns with GDPR standards. No security headers were explicitly detected in the provided data, suggesting an opportunity to enhance HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. Forms use POST methods and appear secure. The lack of vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files indicates limited formal vulnerability management communication. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but could improve by publishing security policies, incident response procedures, and adopting additional security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security governance and controls.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Add HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and CMS extensions to mitigate vulnerabilities.

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.
