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

DLRG.net serves as the Internet Service Center (ISC) for the Deutsche Lebens-Rettungs-Gesellschaft (DLRG), a German non-profit organization focused on water rescue and safety. The website functions as an intranet portal providing active members with access to documents, news, examination tools, and seminar management applications. The platform targets active DLRG members and supports their operational and administrative needs through a secure login system and member-specific applications. The domain is well-established since 1999, reflecting a mature digital presence aligned with the organization's history. Technically, the website employs standard web technologies including jQuery, FontAwesome, and Bootstrap, hosted on AWS infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and basic accessibility features. However, there is room for improvement in SEO and accessibility enhancements. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protection, but lacks DNSSEC and explicit security headers, which are recommended to strengthen defenses. From a security and compliance perspective, the site provides secure login forms with input validation but lacks visible cookie consent mechanisms and detailed privacy or security policies on the main site. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which could be improved to enhance transparency and trust. The absence of advertising and tracking scripts indicates a privacy-conscious approach, though cookie policy implementation is advised for GDPR compliance. Overall, dlrg.net is a trustworthy and professional portal serving a defined non-profit community with a good balance of functionality and security. Strategic improvements in security headers, cookie consent, and policy transparency would further elevate its compliance and security posture.

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

4 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. 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

  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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

DLRG operates as a non-profit organization providing lifesaving and water safety services in Germany. The ISC website is a critical digital asset enabling member engagement and operational efficiency. The platform's business model centers on membership services and internal digital tools rather than commercial revenue streams. Its market position is strong within the German non-profit sector focused on water rescue. The organization benefits from a long-standing domain and consistent branding, reinforcing trust among its members. The website ecosystem includes official wiki and help resources, supporting a collaborative and informed member base. Growth indicators include ongoing digital service expansion such as examination and seminar management apps. Partnerships appear limited to internal DLRG structures and official domains, with no external commercial partnerships evident.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and domain transfer protection is active, reducing risk of domain hijacking. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options represents a gap in defense-in-depth strategies. The login form includes input validation to prevent malformed usernames, enhancing input security. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and may hinder rapid response to security incidents. GDPR compliance is partially addressed via a privacy policy, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-commercial member portal but could be improved to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve DNS security.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with GDPR requirements.
  4. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a conventional technology stack with jQuery and FontAwesome for UI elements, and Bootstrap implied by CSS classes for responsive layout. Hosting is managed via AWS DNS services, indicating reliable infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes meta tags for viewport and theme color. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading. Accessibility is basic with some ARIA attributes and semantic HTML but could be enhanced. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph image but lacks structured data like JSON-LD. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or lightweight platform. The login form uses client-side validation patterns to improve input quality. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from modernization and enhanced SEO and accessibility features.
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.
