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

5 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 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';…

  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

GlücksSpirale operates in the non-profit lottery sector in Germany, targeting adult lottery players interested in both winning prizes and supporting social causes. Its competitive advantage lies in combining lottery gaming with social project funding, enhancing brand trust and appeal. The business model relies on ticket sales at different price points, offering various prize levels and special draws. Partnerships with recognized organizations such as the Deutscher Olympischer Sportbund and Deutsche Stiftung Denkmalschutz reinforce credibility. The company maintains active social media channels to engage its audience and promote responsible gambling. Growth potential is supported by a strong brand and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of key security headers, and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, there is no explicit public security policy or incident response contact information visible, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. The site supports responsible gambling with clear age restrictions and addiction support contacts, reflecting a security-conscious culture. Overall, the security maturity is high but could benefit from formalized incident response disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  2. Regularly audit and update all third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  3. Enhance data protection officer visibility and contact details to strengthen GDPR compliance.
  4. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  5. Continue to monitor and optimize website performance and accessibility to maintain high user experience standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, ensuring server-side rendering and good SEO. Hosting leverages Amazon S3 for static assets and Deutsche Telekom DNS infrastructure, indicating reliable and scalable infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as ARIA labels and keyboard navigation support. Performance appears fast with preloading of critical assets and asynchronous script loading. The technical implementation is robust with no visible technical debt or deprecated technologies. Opportunities exist to further enhance security disclosures and incident response readiness.
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.
