The Fachverband Glücksspielsucht e.V. is a German non-profit association dedicated to supporting individuals affected by gambling addiction, their families, and professionals in the field. The website serves as an informational and resource hub offering access to counseling centers, self-help groups, educational materials, and event information. It maintains a moderate market position as a specialized organization with a longstanding history of over 36 years. The target audience includes gambling addicts, relatives, healthcare professionals, and journalists seeking background information. Technically, the website uses a basic tech stack with HTML, CSS, jQuery, and Twitter widgets, hosted via DomainControl.com. The site shows moderate performance and basic mobile optimization but lacks advanced accessibility and SEO features. Security posture is average with HTTPS implied but no visible security headers or cookie consent mechanisms. Privacy compliance is limited, with only a basic data protection notice and no explicit cookie policy or GDPR compliance details. Overall, the site is safe, trustworthy, and focused on non-commercial support services without adult or explicit content.

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

9 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

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 · 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 association operates as a small non-profit entity focused on gambling addiction support and advocacy within Germany. Its business model revolves around providing resources, organizing conferences, and facilitating self-help networks. The website links to partner organizations and donation platforms, indicating a collaborative ecosystem. The lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage suggests controlled communication channels, likely centralized in the contact/imprint page. The organization demonstrates moderate branding consistency and trust through its long domain history and public statements. Growth indicators include active event promotion and online self-help group facilitation. The partnership ecosystem includes donation portals, forums, and advocacy alliances, strengthening its community presence.

Security posture

The website exhibits a basic security posture with HTTPS usage but lacks critical security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policies are present, and no incident response contacts are provided. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms and detailed privacy policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. The use of third-party scripts like Twitter widgets introduces potential risk vectors, though no vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided data. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires improvements in headers, privacy compliance, and incident response readiness to reduce risk and enhance user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  2. Add and configure security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Enhance mobile responsiveness and accessibility to improve user experience and compliance with standards.
  4. Establish a security.txt file and publish vulnerability disclosure and incident response contact information.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are used.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a traditional HTML/CSS foundation with jQuery and Twitter widgets for dynamic content. The CMS appears to be a custom or Rex CMS variant, indicated by navigation class names. Hosting is managed via DomainControl.com, a common provider for small to medium websites. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization techniques observed. SEO is basic with minimal meta tags and no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data present. Accessibility features are limited, and mobile optimization is basic, suggesting room for modernization. The technical debt includes reliance on older libraries and lack of modern frameworks or responsive design best practices. Opportunities exist to upgrade the tech stack, improve performance, and enhance SEO and accessibility compliance.
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.
