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

The Deutsche Multiple Sklerose Gesellschaft operates the DMSG-COACHES platform, a specialized online educational and coaching service aimed at improving the quality of life for Multiple Sclerosis patients in Germany. The organization is a recognized non-profit entity providing structured courses and personal development opportunities through a Moodle-based learning management system. The platform targets patients, caregivers, and professionals involved in MS care, positioning itself as a trusted national resource. Technically, the website leverages a mature and stable Moodle LMS infrastructure with modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and YUI, ensuring a responsive and accessible user experience. The site is well-structured with clear navigation and mobile optimization, although SEO practices are basic. Hosting details and domain registration are consistent with a legitimate organization, and HTTPS is properly enforced. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good baseline practices including HTTPS and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, it lacks advanced security headers and published security policies or incident response information. GDPR compliance is partially addressed with a clear privacy policy, but no cookie consent mechanism is present. No advertising or tracking technologies were detected, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and good technical implementation. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and security transparency would enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

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

6 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

    • 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

  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 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.

Technical appendix

Business context

Business profile

The DMSG-COACHES platform is operated by the Deutsche Multiple Sklerose Gesellschaft, a medium-sized German non-profit organization focused on healthcare and education for MS patients. The business model centers on providing online coaching and educational courses to improve patient outcomes. The organization benefits from a strong national reputation and partnerships within the MS community. Revenue streams likely include grants, donations, and course fees. The platform's use of Moodle indicates a commitment to scalable, structured learning delivery. Growth potential exists in expanding digital offerings and professional training. The absence of commercial advertising aligns with the non-profit mission. Strategic partnerships with related domains such as akademie.dmsg.de support educational objectives.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security posture with enforced HTTPS and no visible exposure of sensitive information. The use of a well-known LMS platform reduces risk from custom code vulnerabilities. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a missed opportunity to harden defenses. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which could delay response to security events. GDPR compliance is partially met through a comprehensive privacy policy, but lack of cookie consent mechanisms is a compliance gap. No tracking or advertising scripts reduce privacy risks. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for improvement in transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  4. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and security practices to maintain compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Moodle LMS platform version 3.18.1 with a custom theme 'boost_union'. It uses modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery 3.7.1, YUI 3.18.1, and RequireJS for modular loading. The site is served over HTTPS with no mixed content detected. Performance is moderate with combined CSS and JS assets served via Moodle's combo loader. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles are implemented, supporting good usability. SEO metadata is basic with keywords and description tags present but no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data found. The site is mobile optimized with responsive navigation. Hosting provider details are not explicit but DNS name servers indicate a professional hosting environment. Technical debt appears low, but adding modern security headers and enhancing SEO with structured data would improve the platform.
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.
