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. 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
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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

      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';…

  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.

Business context

Business profile

The Dietmar Hopp Stiftung operates as a large non-profit foundation with a strong regional focus in Germany. Its market positioning is that of a reputable philanthropic entity with deep ties to the technology sector through its founder. The foundation's competitive advantage lies in its financial capacity and targeted funding in socially impactful sectors such as medicine, education, and climate protection. Revenue streams are primarily from endowment and donations, with grant-making as the core activity. Target customer segments include non-profit organizations and community groups in the Rhein-Neckar region. Growth indicators include recent funding initiatives like the 'Greifbares Glück' project. The partnership ecosystem includes regional social institutions and technology providers. The foundation maintains a professional online presence but could benefit from enhanced digital marketing and transparency around security and compliance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced site-wide, and a cookie consent banner with opt-in for non-essential cookies is implemented, indicating GDPR awareness. No security headers were detected in the HTML content, representing an area for improvement. No exposed credentials, sensitive data, or vulnerable libraries were found. The absence of publicly available security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency and preparedness perception. The site uses well-known and maintained technologies, reducing risk from outdated components. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit informational site but should be enhanced with security headers, documented policies, and incident response mechanisms to align with best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and CMS extensions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Improve SEO metadata and structured data to increase search engine visibility and content discoverability.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, combined with Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity. The use of FontAwesome provides scalable vector icons. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets, indicating a moderately complex frontend. Performance is moderate with no critical issues but could be optimized by reducing asset sizes and leveraging caching. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and layout adjustments. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and keyboard navigation. SEO is functional but could benefit from enhanced metadata and structured data accuracy. No hosting provider details were identified from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could be modernized and optimized further.
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.
