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

8 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

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

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 market segment focused on gambling addiction support in Germany, targeting both affected individuals and their relatives. The business model is non-profit, offering telephone counseling and informational resources without commercial advertising or affiliate programs. The organization leverages a modern CMS and SEO tools to maintain visibility and accessibility. The lack of extensive business registration data or multiple subsidiaries suggests a small-scale operation. The presence of professional contact details and consistent branding supports trustworthiness. The site’s partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed, and no related domains or payment processors are identified, indicating a focused service offering without complex external dependencies.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communication. Matomo analytics is used with cookies disabled, minimizing privacy risks. However, the absence of common security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a missed opportunity to harden security. No forms on the homepage collect personal data, reducing attack surface. There is no published security policy or incident response contact, which could hinder timely handling of security incidents. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by implementing additional headers and formalizing security and incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR requirements given the use of analytics.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Consider appointing and publishing Data Protection Officer contact details to strengthen GDPR compliance.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. It uses Matomo for privacy-friendly analytics with cookies disabled. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets from its own domain and uses jQuery and FontAwesome libraries. Hosting appears to be managed via 'your-server.de' based on nameservers. Performance is moderate with some lazy loading and responsive design features implemented. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The site lacks advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are technical gaps. Overall, the infrastructure is stable and suitable for a small non-profit advisory website but could benefit from modernization in security and privacy controls.
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.
