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

4 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 portal operates within the government and non-profit sectors, focusing on public health education. Its business model is informational and service-oriented, without commercial advertising or sales. The site benefits from its affiliation with the Bundesinstitut für Öffentliche Gesundheit and related partners like bzga.de and jung-und-schwanger.de, enhancing its credibility and reach. The target audience includes a broad demographic of individuals seeking family planning and pregnancy-related information. The portal's content quality, consistent branding, and trust signals such as scientific backing and privacy compliance support its strong market position as a leading public health resource in Germany.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and privacy-respecting analytics via Matomo, including IP anonymization and no cookies without consent. However, it lacks visible advanced security headers and does not publish a formal security policy or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file suggests room for improvement in transparency and incident readiness. Overall, the site maintains good security hygiene appropriate for a public information portal but could enhance trust by formalizing security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a formal security policy and incident response information to improve transparency and user trust.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance contact information by providing verified company emails and phone numbers for support and security inquiries.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain GDPR compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the TYPO3 CMS platform, leveraging modern web technologies including responsive design, JavaScript libraries like Slick Slider, and privacy-focused Matomo analytics hosted locally in Germany. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and accessibility features such as skip links and alternative text for images. Performance is moderate, with compressed CSS and JavaScript assets. SEO is well addressed through meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting details are not explicitly disclosed, but analytics data processing is localized, supporting data protection compliance. The technical stack is stable and appropriate for a government health information portal, with opportunities to enhance security headers and formalize technical documentation.
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.
