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

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Endokrinologie (DGE) website serves as the official online presence of a prominent German scientific society dedicated to endocrinology. It provides comprehensive information for medical professionals, researchers, and patients about hormone-related diseases, scientific research, education, and public communication. The site is well-structured, professionally designed, and offers rich content including news, events, and resources. Technically, the website is built on the Contao CMS platform and utilizes common JavaScript libraries for UI and media handling, delivering a good user experience with mobile optimization and accessibility features. Security-wise, the site employs cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies aligned with GDPR, but lacks visible advanced security headers and explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. The WHOIS data is missing or indicates the domain may not be registered, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy despite the professional appearance and content. Overall, the website is a credible and valuable resource in the healthcare non-profit sector, but domain registration verification is recommended to ensure trustworthiness.

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. 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"

    • 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

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

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention endokrinologie.net, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for endokrinologie.net 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

The DGE operates as a non-profit scientific society focused on endocrinology in Germany, targeting healthcare professionals, researchers, and patients. Its business model centers on education, research promotion, public outreach, and professional networking. The organization maintains partnerships with European endocrinology bodies and offers member benefits such as scholarships and training. The website reflects a medium-sized entity with a strong market position in the German healthcare scientific community. The absence of direct contact emails and phone numbers on the main pages suggests controlled communication channels, likely to maintain professionalism and privacy. The site’s content and structure indicate a mature digital presence with consistent branding and trust signals.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS usage implied but not explicitly confirmed in the data. Cookie consent and privacy policies are implemented, indicating compliance with data protection regulations. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security robustness. No evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries was found. The lack of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies suggests room for improvement in security transparency and readiness. The missing WHOIS data is a notable concern that could impact trust and domain legitimacy.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure legitimacy and transparency.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Publish explicit security policies including incident response and vulnerability disclosure procedures.
  4. Ensure HTTPS is properly configured and enforced site-wide with strong SSL/TLS settings.
  5. Enhance contact information availability with verified official emails and phone numbers for improved trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Contao CMS, leveraging jQuery and several UI and media libraries such as MediaElement.js, jQuery UI, Colorbox, and Tablesorter. The site features responsive design and accessibility enhancements like ARIA roles and keyboard navigation support. Performance is moderate with slider components and media players integrated. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured navigation. No advanced frameworks or hosting provider details were identified. The technical stack is stable but could 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.
