0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Diagnose-Funk e.V. is a well-established German non-profit environmental and consumer protection organization focused on educating the public about the risks of electromagnetic fields, including mobile communications and WLAN radiation. The organization provides comprehensive information, advocacy, and publications aimed at promoting health-conscious telecommunications technologies. Their target audience includes affected individuals, environmental advocates, municipalities, and scientific communities. The website is professionally designed with good navigation and mobile optimization, reflecting a mature digital presence. Technically, the site uses a variety of JavaScript libraries and privacy-respecting Matomo analytics, hosted on Hostpoint AG servers. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enabled, but lacks some security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are recommended for compliance and enhanced protection. WHOIS data confirms the domain's legitimacy and long-term establishment. Overall, the site is trustworthy and serves as a valuable resource in its niche.

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

8 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

    • 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

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

Diagnose-Funk operates as a niche non-profit entity with a clear mission to protect consumers and the environment from electromagnetic radiation risks. Its competitive advantage lies in its independence, detailed research summaries, and active advocacy. The business model is based on donations, memberships, and educational outreach rather than commercial sales. The organization maintains partnerships with related NGOs and research initiatives, enhancing its credibility and reach. Growth indicators include a comprehensive content library and active engagement through social media channels. The website's structure supports easy access to thematic content, supporting its role as an authoritative information hub.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data leaks. The use of Matomo analytics aligns with privacy-conscious practices. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. The use of an outdated jQuery version may expose the site to known vulnerabilities. There is no explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which could be improved to enhance trust and readiness. GDPR compliance is partially addressed via a privacy policy, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing, representing a compliance gap.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with EU cookie laws and improve privacy compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen security posture.
  3. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  4. Publish explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain and improve overall site security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom or unknown CMS with a tech stack including jQuery 1.11.1, Slick Slider, Fancybox, Swipebox, Leaflet mapping libraries, and Matomo analytics. Hosting is provided by Hostpoint AG, a reputable Swiss hosting provider. The site is mobile optimized with responsive CSS and viewport settings. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site lacks modern JavaScript frameworks or CMS indicators, suggesting potential for modernization. No major technical debt is evident, but updating libraries and adding security headers would reduce risk and improve maintainability.
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.
