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. 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"

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

Business profile

The DBRD Akademie operates as an essential entity in the healthcare education sector, focusing on preclinical emergency medical training. Its business model revolves around delivering certified courses and customized inhouse training, leveraging partnerships with established international course providers. The company targets emergency medical services personnel and healthcare professionals seeking continuing education. Its medium size and long-standing presence since 2008 indicate stability and growth potential. The website content and linked partner domains reflect a well-integrated ecosystem of specialized training providers. The company emphasizes quality, certification, and practical training, positioning itself as a leading course provider in Germany.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and multiple security headers implemented, reducing common web vulnerabilities. Forms include CSRF tokens, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response contact and lack of a vulnerability disclosure mechanism are gaps that could affect incident handling and transparency. No known vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the provided content. The site does not appear to use intrusive tracking or analytics, enhancing privacy. Overall, security practices are good but could be improved by adding explicit policies and consent mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR cookie regulations.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and provide a dedicated security contact or abuse email.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Maintain regular updates of Joomla CMS and all plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider enhancing HTTP security headers with additional controls like HPKP or Expect-CT.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern Joomla CMS platform using Yootheme Pro and UIkit frameworks, ensuring responsive and accessible design. It leverages jQuery and other JavaScript libraries for enhanced UI components. The site loads moderately fast and is optimized for mobile devices. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured content. Accessibility features such as keyboard navigation and contrast modes are implemented.

Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience with room for performance tuning.
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.
