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

5 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. 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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

DGGG occupies a strong position as a leading scientific society in gynecology and obstetrics within Germany. Its business model is non-profit and focused on advancing medical knowledge and practice through guidelines, events, and publications. The target audience includes gynecologists, obstetricians, researchers, and medical trainees. The organization leverages partnerships with other medical societies and offers member-exclusive benefits. The website content and structure support its role as an authoritative source in its field. Growth indicators include active event listings and updated guidelines. The absence of commercial advertising aligns with its non-profit status.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, use of Subresource Integrity for assets, and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy and HSTS is a gap. There is no published security policy or incident response contact, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is strong for a non-commercial site but could benefit from formalized policies and additional HTTP headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve security communication.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Consider adding visible contact emails or phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries to improve user trust and support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a mature and widely used open-source content management system. The front-end uses modern JavaScript modules and CSS with integrity hashes, indicating attention to security and performance. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices. Analytics are handled via a self-hosted Matomo instance, respecting user privacy with consent management via Usercentrics. Performance is moderate, likely due to rich content and images, but overall user experience is smooth. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, suitable for a professional scientific society.
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.
