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

The Fonds Sexueller Missbrauch website is an official German government platform managed by the Bundesamt für Familie und zivilgesellschaftliche Aufgaben. It provides critical support services for individuals affected by sexual abuse in familial and institutional contexts, offering financial assistance for therapies and other related costs. The site targets victims, counseling centers, and the general public, positioning itself as a trusted government resource with clear contact channels and comprehensive informational content. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS and employs Matomo analytics configured for privacy compliance, including IP anonymization and opt-in consent mechanisms. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, though it lacks some advanced security headers. Hosting appears to be managed by a German provider, ensuring data residency and compliance. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and respects user privacy with a transparent cookie consent banner. However, it does not publicly disclose a security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which could be improved to enhance trust and readiness. No vulnerabilities or suspicious indicators were detected, and the WHOIS data aligns with the official government entity, supporting legitimacy. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-aligned with its mission. Strategic improvements in security headers and incident response transparency would further strengthen its posture and user confidence.

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. 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"

  3. 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 website serves a niche but essential government function, providing supplementary aid to victims of sexual abuse where statutory systems fall short. Its market position is unique as a government-backed entity with no direct commercial competition. The business model is service-oriented, funded by public resources, focusing on social welfare. The target audience includes affected individuals, counseling organizations, and public stakeholders. The presence of detailed contact information and structured navigation supports user engagement and service delivery. The partnership ecosystem includes the Bundesamt für Familie und zivilgesellschaftliche Aufgaben and technical service providers like ]init[ AG for analytics hosting. Growth indicators are not explicit but the site maintains updated content and annual reports, indicating ongoing operational maturity.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and privacy-respecting analytics are implemented with user consent and IP anonymization. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options represents a gap in defense-in-depth. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, limiting transparency and preparedness signals. The site does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries based on the provided content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a government informational site but could benefit from enhanced header policies and published security governance documents to align with best practices and compliance frameworks.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and user trust.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and improve security posture.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility and mobile optimization continuously to maintain high user experience standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and widely used open-source content management system, indicating a stable and scalable infrastructure. The use of Matomo analytics with local hosting in Germany reflects a strong commitment to data privacy and compliance with GDPR. The site employs Bootstrap for responsive design and includes JavaScript for interactive elements such as cookie consent and navigation toggles. Performance is moderate, with compressed CSS and JS assets, though no explicit performance metrics were provided. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for a government service site, with opportunities to improve security headers and incident response capabilities. Hosting appears to be reliable and privacy-focused, supporting the site's mission and compliance requirements.
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.
