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 operates as a non-profit medical society with a strong market position in Germany's diabetes care sector. Its business model centers on research, education, certification, and advocacy. The organization targets medical professionals, healthcare workers, and policymakers. The website supports this with extensive content on training, certification, events, and policy initiatives. Partnerships with specialized training and event sites enhance its ecosystem. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a preference for controlled communication channels, typical for non-profits. The domain's WHOIS privacy is consistent with privacy laws and organizational type.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration and security headers, enhancing protection against common web threats. Analytics are configured to respect user privacy by disabling cookies and honoring Do Not Track. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or vulnerability disclosure page and lack of incident response contact information represent areas for improvement. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by formalizing security governance documentation and communication.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance security headers with additional directives such as Content-Security-Policy reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust open-source content management system widely used in professional environments. It uses Matomo for analytics, configured to minimize user tracking and comply with privacy regulations. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices. Performance is moderate, likely due to image sizes and CMS overhead, but overall user experience is smooth. No critical technical debt or outdated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but the presence of wegewerk.net analytics suggests a professional hosting and service provider. Opportunities exist to optimize performance further and enhance security documentation.
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.
