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

DRK-Kreisverband Nordwestmecklenburg e. V. is a regional non-profit organization providing a wide range of social, healthcare, emergency, and community services in the Nordwestmecklenburg area of Germany. The website serves as an information portal for their services, events, and engagement opportunities, targeting local residents, families, seniors, and volunteers. The organization is part of the larger Deutsches Rotes Kreuz network, emphasizing humanitarian aid and social support. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS and hosted by dt-internet.de, but it lacks a valid SSL certificate, which is a critical security shortfall. The site includes cookie consent mechanisms and uses Google Analytics with IP anonymization, indicating some privacy compliance efforts. However, the absence of HTTPS and modern security headers exposes the site to risks and undermines user trust. Overall, the website is content-rich and professionally designed but requires urgent security improvements to protect visitors and comply with best practices.

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

8 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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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

The organization operates in the non-profit sector focused on healthcare, social services, emergency response, and community engagement. Its business model relies on public funding, donations, and membership fees. The website reflects a strong regional presence with multiple service offerings including ambulatory care, first aid training, childcare, social counseling, and refugee assistance. The DRK brand provides significant trust and recognition. The site’s partnership ecosystem includes the broader DRK network and local government entities. Growth indicators include active community events and volunteer engagement. The organization maintains a Facebook presence but limited broader digital marketing. The website supports transparency with detailed contact info and service descriptions but lacks advanced digital marketing or e-commerce capabilities.

Security posture

The website’s security posture is weak due to the lack of a valid SSL certificate and absence of HTTPS, which is a critical vulnerability. No modern TLS protocols or cipher suites are enabled, and security headers such as HSTS are missing. There is no evidence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism. Cookie consent is implemented, and Google Analytics is configured with IP anonymization, showing some privacy awareness. However, the overall security maturity is low, exposing users to risks such as data interception and undermining GDPR compliance. Immediate remediation is required to install a valid SSL certificate, enable HTTPS, and implement security headers to protect user data and improve trust.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3) and configure strong cipher suites.
  3. Implement HTTP security headers including HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  5. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  6. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and cookie usage in the privacy policy.
  7. Improve website performance metrics and accessibility features to enhance user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a mature and flexible content management system, hosted on Apache servers managed by dt-internet.de. The site uses compressed CSS and JavaScript assets for performance but lacks measurable load time and resource count data, indicating possible performance monitoring gaps. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and basic accessibility features. SEO is basic with meta tags and canonical links but no advanced structured data like JSON-LD. External scripts include Google Analytics and eye-able accessibility tools. The absence of HTTPS is a major technical risk. The DNS configuration is standard with no DNSSEC or CAA records. MX records indicate use of mailrelay services for email. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but requires modernization and security enhancements to meet current standards.
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.
