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

      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

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

The organization occupies a significant position in the German social work sector, leveraging its long history and comprehensive offerings to maintain relevance. Its business model focuses on non-profit activities including knowledge dissemination, event hosting, and member engagement. The website's structure and content indicate a focus on transparency and service provision, though contact information and formal policies could be more prominently presented. The presence of a dedicated career subdomain suggests active organizational growth and recruitment efforts. The digital ecosystem includes partnerships with service providers like Marker.io for issue tracking, enhancing operational efficiency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent banner indicating GDPR awareness. However, no explicit security headers were detected in the provided content, and there is no visible security or incident response policy. The absence of contact channels for security incidents or vulnerability disclosures limits the organization's readiness to handle security events publicly. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the analysis. Enhancing security transparency and implementing recommended headers would strengthen the security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page clearly accessible from the homepage.
  2. Add terms of service and security policy pages to improve legal and security transparency.
  3. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Provide explicit contact information including company emails and phone numbers for general and security inquiries.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, ensuring maintainability and scalability. Frontend technologies include CSS3, JavaScript libraries such as Splide for sliders and fslightbox for media display, contributing to a modern user experience. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design principles and uses a cookie consent tool compliant with GDPR. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected in the provided content. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified, but the domain uses standard DNS with ns1.dombox.eu and ns2.dombox.eu name servers. The technical stack is appropriate for a medium-sized non-profit organization, though opportunities exist to enhance security and accessibility features.
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.
