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. 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

  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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • 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';…

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

DAMiD operates in the niche healthcare sector focusing on anthroposophic medicine, targeting a specialized audience including patients interested in integrative medicine and healthcare professionals. The business model is non-profit, relying on donations and community support, as evidenced by donation calls on the site. The organization leverages partnerships and external resources but does not appear to have subsidiaries or parent companies. Its market position is that of a specialized advocacy and educational entity within Germany. The website's content and structure support clear communication of its mission and services, with good branding consistency and trust signals such as privacy compliance and contact transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of CAPTCHA to prevent automated abuse. Cookie consent is implemented with granular user controls and transparency about third-party services like Google Analytics. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not detected, representing an area for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found in the HTML content. Incident response and security policy documentation are absent, which could be addressed to enhance security culture and readiness. Overall, the site balances usability and security well for its non-profit context.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve trust with security researchers.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit and update Joomla CMS and third-party libraries to maintain security and performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Joomla CMS with a combination of jQuery, Awesomplete for autocomplete, Masonry.js for layout, and a custom cookie consent plugin from Web357.com. Google Analytics is integrated but disabled by default pending user consent, respecting privacy regulations. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets efficiently and includes responsive design elements for mobile optimization. Performance is moderate, with some room for improvement in SEO and accessibility. No hosting provider details were explicitly found, but DNS name servers indicate stable hosting. The technical stack is appropriate for a small non-profit organization with a focus on content delivery and user engagement.
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.
