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

The Deutscher Verband Technisch-Wissenschaftlicher Vereine e. V. (DVT) is a non-profit organization representing German engineering and technical sciences interests both nationally and internationally. It actively participates in European engineering associations and advocates for the recognition of technical professional qualifications. The website targets engineers, technical professionals, and related organizations within Germany, providing information about its mission, goals, and organizational structure. Technically, the website is built on the TYPO3 CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies including jQuery, Bootstrap, and various JavaScript libraries for enhanced user experience. It employs Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant cookie consent management and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses recognized consent management tools, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The domain registration data is consistent with the organization's profile, indicating legitimacy and trustworthiness. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy digital presence suitable for its non-profit and technical audience. Strategic improvements could include publishing detailed security policies, implementing additional security headers, and providing clearer contact information for security incidents.

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. 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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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';…

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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention dvt-net.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for dvt-net.de right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

DVT holds an important position as a representative body for German engineers and technical scientists, leveraging international networks such as FEANI. Its business model is non-profit, focusing on advocacy, professional recognition, and sector representation. The organization serves a specialized audience of engineers and technical professionals, with growth potential through enhanced digital engagement. Partnerships with organizations like VDI and DAAD are evident from linked domains. Revenue streams likely include membership fees and grants. The website content and structure support its role as a credible industry representative with consistent branding and trust signals.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of Cookiebot for consent management. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and does not publish a security policy or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were found in the HTML content. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly documented, representing an area for improvement to enhance trust and resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce 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 on the website.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  4. Enhance contact information availability, including dedicated security and support emails and phone numbers.
  5. Regularly review and update cookie and privacy policies to maintain compliance with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, supported by a modern tech stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, and various UI libraries. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with meta tags and structured navigation. The use of Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot indicates a mature approach to analytics and privacy compliance. Technical risks are minimal, but the absence of certain security headers and explicit security documentation suggests opportunities for modernization and risk mitigation.
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.
