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

DLRG Bundesverband is the world's largest voluntary water rescue organization, founded in 1913 in Germany. It focuses on preventing drowning through swim and rescue training, public education, and volunteer water rescue services. The organization operates as a non-profit relying on memberships, donations, and volunteer engagement. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides comprehensive information and resources for members, volunteers, and the public. Technically, it uses TYPO3 CMS hosted on AWS infrastructure and integrates multiple reputable third-party analytics and marketing tools with clear GDPR-compliant disclosures. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though explicit security headers and a public security policy could be improved. Overall, the website is trustworthy, well-maintained, and compliant with privacy regulations.

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

2 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 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. 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

DLRG holds a strong market position as a leading non-profit in water safety and rescue with over 1.9 million members. Its business model centers on volunteerism and public donations, supported by a robust digital presence including educational content, training programs, and fundraising campaigns. The organization maintains partnerships with related domains such as its youth wing and merchandise shop. Its transparent privacy and cookie policies, along with active social media engagement, enhance its credibility and outreach. The website's content and navigation cater well to its diverse audience including volunteers, donors, and the general public.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent, and use of trusted third-party services. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and a public incident response or vulnerability disclosure page indicates room for improvement. Data protection officer contacts are provided via third-party services, but a centralized security contact or policy would strengthen incident response readiness and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for security vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance form input validation and monitoring to prevent injection attacks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging AWS for hosting, ensuring scalability and reliability. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing platforms including Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Hotjar, and Brevo for email marketing. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading speed. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting the organization's digital engagement and operational needs effectively.
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.
