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

The Deutscher Hebammenverband website serves as the official online presence of the German Midwives Association, representing over 22,000 members and advocating for midwives, women, and families in Germany. The site provides comprehensive information about the association's activities, services, events, and educational resources, including a midwife search platform and a professional magazine. The organization holds a strong market position as a leading non-profit professional association in the healthcare sector in Germany. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including Yoast SEO, Slider Revolution, and Matomo analytics, ensuring good SEO and privacy-respecting user tracking. The site is hosted on reputable DNS infrastructure and uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. Mobile optimization and user experience are good, though accessibility could be improved. From a security perspective, the site employs privacy and cookie consent mechanisms and uses privacy-focused analytics. However, it lacks explicit security headers, a published privacy policy, terms of service, and vulnerability disclosure information, which are areas for improvement. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, and no critical vulnerabilities were found in the provided content. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-maintained, with a strong focus on its target audience. Strategic recommendations include publishing comprehensive privacy and security policies, implementing security headers, and enhancing accessibility to further strengthen compliance and security posture.

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. 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"

      • 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';…

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 Deutscher Hebammenverband operates as a large non-profit professional association in the healthcare sector, specifically representing midwives in Germany. Its business model centers on advocacy, member services, education, and community building. The association leverages partnerships with related platforms such as ammely.de for midwife service matching and hebammenforum.de for professional publications. Revenue streams likely include membership fees, sponsorships, and event participation. The organization targets midwives, pregnant women, families, and healthcare stakeholders, positioning itself as a trusted authority in midwifery. The website reflects a mature digital presence with integrated social media and event management, supporting growth and engagement within its ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of privacy-focused analytics (Matomo). Cookie consent is managed via Borlabs Cookie, indicating GDPR awareness. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security or incident response policies represent gaps. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, limiting transparency for security researchers. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site would benefit from enhanced security best practices and formalized incident response documentation to improve resilience and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page clearly accessible from the website.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Add terms of service and incident response information to improve legal and security transparency.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using up-to-date plugins such as Yoast SEO for search optimization, Slider Revolution for interactive content, and Ultimate Member for user management. It uses Matomo for privacy-conscious analytics and Borlabs Cookie for GDPR-compliant cookie management. The hosting infrastructure is supported by UI-DNS nameservers, indicating reliable DNS management. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and responsive design. The site uses standard web technologies including jQuery and FontAwesome. Opportunities exist to improve technical robustness by adding security headers and enhancing 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.
