Berliner CSD e.V. is a non-profit organization dedicated to organizing the Berlin Pride event (CSD Berlin), one of the largest demonstrations advocating for the rights of LGBTIQA* individuals. The website serves as an informational and promotional platform for the upcoming event scheduled for July 26, 2025.

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

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Medium

      Privacy policy may not be GDPR compliant

      Privacy policy lacks explicit GDPR compliance elements

      What to do: Update privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR requirements and user rights

  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.

    • Medium

      DMARC not enforcing

      DMARC policy is set to "none"

      What to do: Gradually move to "quarantine" then "reject" policy

    • Medium

      No MTA-STS Policy

      MTA-STS enforces TLS for email delivery

      What to do: Implement MTA-STS to prevent downgrade attacks

  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.

  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Medium

      DNSSEC Not Enabled

      DNSSEC is not configured for this domain

      What to do: Enable DNSSEC to prevent DNS spoofing attacks

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 Berliner CSD e.V. operates within the non-profit sector, focusing on social advocacy and event organization for the LGBTIQA* community. Its market position is strong within Berlin as a key organizer of pride events, leveraging community engagement and social media outreach. The business model centers on event-driven advocacy, likely supported by donations, sponsorships, and volunteer efforts. The website's content and structured data reinforce its legitimacy and community focus. The organization benefits from a clear partnership ecosystem via social media and uses established digital marketing and consent management tools to maintain compliance and engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism that restricts ad and analytics storage by default. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for enhancement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, suitable for a non-profit informational site but could be improved to align with best practices and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve transparency and legal compliance.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting.
  4. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents or data protection inquiries.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Divi theme, supported by jQuery and enhanced with Yoast SEO for search optimization. Cookiebot is integrated for GDPR-compliant cookie consent management. Google Tag Manager is used with privacy-conscious default settings denying ad and analytics storage until consent is given. The site shows good mobile optimization and a professional design consistent with its advocacy mission. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and resource optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present. The technical stack is modern and widely supported, though security enhancements and formal documentation could improve overall robustness.
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.
