DKMS · Healthcare · Germany

Low risk. 3 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view and SSL/TLS.

Security score

77/100

Risk levelLow

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

DKMS is a large, reputable non-profit organization based in Germany focused on stem cell donation to help fight blood cancer. The website presents a professional and well-structured digital presence using modern technologies such as React and Gatsby, hosted on German infrastructure. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and security headers implemented, but the site lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, as well as clear contact information and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. Overall, the site is trustworthy and well-designed for its healthcare mission but could improve compliance and transparency aspects.

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

3 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. 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

DKMS operates in the healthcare and non-profit sectors, targeting the general public to register as stem cell donors. It holds a strong market position as a leading organization in blood cancer support and donor registration. The business model is centered on donor recruitment and patient support, with a clear mission communicated on the website. The organization benefits from consistent branding and a professional online presence, though explicit business registration details and contact information are not evident in the provided content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure reduces transparency and may impact incident handling readiness. GDPR compliance indicators are weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. The site should enhance these areas to strengthen trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details prominently accessible.
  2. Add a security policy page and provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Include explicit company contact information including emails and phone numbers for user support and inquiries.
  5. Regularly audit and update security headers and ensure all forms have proper input validation and CSRF protections.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Gatsby, ensuring fast performance and excellent mobile optimization. Hosting is provided by Deutsche Telekom, indicating reliable infrastructure. The site uses Video.js for media playback and includes well-structured CSS and HTML5 markup. SEO and accessibility features are well implemented. There is no evidence of a traditional CMS, suggesting a static site generation approach. Technical risks are minimal, but the lack of explicit privacy and security documentation represents a compliance gap.
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.
