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.

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

  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

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

DRK holds a leading position in the German humanitarian sector, leveraging a large membership base and extensive volunteer network. Its business model is donation and membership driven, supported by partnerships and public trust. The website's structure supports multiple engagement channels including donations, volunteering, and corporate partnerships. The organization’s market presence is reinforced by clear branding, extensive service offerings, and transparent communication. Growth indicators include digital engagement tools and comprehensive service information. The partnership ecosystem includes related domains for blood donation and training services, enhancing service delivery.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with HTTPS and consent management. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. There is no visible incident response or security policy information, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness. Overall, the security maturity is good for a non-profit organization, with recommendations to strengthen header policies and form protections.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency.
  3. Ensure all web forms have CSRF protection and input validation to prevent injection attacks.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance user awareness on privacy and security through visible trust signals and certifications.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system suitable for large organizations. Integration of Google Tag Manager and Usercentrics indicates a mature approach to analytics and privacy compliance. The site loads multiple CSS and font assets efficiently and uses modern JavaScript libraries like D3.js for data visualization. Hosting appears stable with dedicated nameservers. Performance is moderate, with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. Opportunities exist to optimize security headers and streamline third-party script usage to reduce potential risks.
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.
