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. 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';…
  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  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.

    • 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

DDG holds a strong market position as a leading diabetes-focused non-profit medical society in Germany. Its business model revolves around providing scientific research, professional education, certification programs, and policy advocacy. The organization targets healthcare professionals and stakeholders involved in diabetes care and prevention. The website supports this with comprehensive content, event information, and service offerings such as job boards and certified practitioner directories. Partnerships with related domains like herbsttagung-ddg.de and diabinfo.de indicate a collaborative ecosystem. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the main page suggests a controlled communication approach, likely to manage inquiries efficiently.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and privacy-respecting analytics configurations. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the site lacks some recommended security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate certain attack vectors. There is no publicly available security policy or incident response contact, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. The absence of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure program is noted. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from additional security hardening and formalized incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide an incident response contact or security email address to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security collaboration.
  4. Enhance contact information availability by including verified company contact emails and phone numbers to improve user trust and communication.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain compliance with evolving GDPR and data protection regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a robust open-source content management system widely used in professional environments. It uses Matomo analytics configured to respect user privacy by disabling cookies and honoring DoNotTrack signals. The site is mobile optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, likely due to the CMS and media content sizes. No outdated or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided HTML. The site uses standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and secure online presence with room for performance optimization.
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.
