49/100

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

The website echokardiographie-leipzig.de serves as an informational portal for the DEK conference, a specialized event focused on echocardiography within the cardiology community in Germany. It provides details about the conference program, call for abstracts, sponsors, registration, hotels, and venue information. The target audience is primarily medical professionals and researchers interested in cardiovascular ultrasound. The site is built using Adobe Muse with an older JavaScript stack, indicating moderate digital maturity. Mobile optimization is basic, and the site lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but no visible security headers or modern protections. The absence of privacy and cookie policies represents a compliance gap. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from technical and security improvements to enhance trust and compliance.

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.

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 · found on this site
  • 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 DEK conference website positions itself as a niche event within the German cardiology sector, affiliated with the German Cardiac Society (DGK). Its business model revolves around event organization and information dissemination to a specialized medical audience. The site leverages partnerships with DGK and local venues, enhancing credibility. Revenue streams likely include sponsorships and registration fees. The lack of extensive digital marketing or tracking tools suggests a focus on direct community engagement rather than broad commercial outreach. Growth indicators are limited but the recurring nature of the conference and professional committee involvement indicate stability within its niche.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS usage but lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.8.3) introduces potential vulnerabilities. No forms or sensitive data collection reduce immediate risk, but the absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR. Incident response and data protection officer contacts are not provided, limiting transparency. Overall, the site is low risk but would benefit from updates to libraries, security headers, and compliance documentation to improve security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Update jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current supported versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance GDPR compliance.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve security posture.
  4. Provide clear contact information for incident response and data protection officer to increase transparency and trust.
  5. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility features to improve user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Adobe Muse, relying on HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript with jQuery 1.8.3 and RequireJS. The technical stack is somewhat outdated, particularly the jQuery version, which may expose the site to known vulnerabilities. The site includes scripts for menu handling and device redirection to a mobile-optimized version, though mobile support is basic. No modern CMS or backend platform is detected. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization techniques observed. SEO and accessibility features are minimal but present. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but would benefit from modernization and security hardening.
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.
