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

4 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. 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
  3. Network security

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

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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 Hessische Krebsgesellschaft operates as a non-profit healthcare entity focused on cancer-related support and prevention in Hessen, Germany. Its business model centers on providing free, confidential counseling and educational services to cancer patients and their families, supported by partnerships with healthcare institutions and government bodies. The organization leverages digital channels effectively to reach its target audience, including social media and event platforms. Growth indicators include regular event scheduling and active community engagement. The partnership ecosystem includes recognized cancer research and healthcare organizations, enhancing credibility and resource access.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and a robust cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. The use of Borlabs Cookie plugin indicates attention to privacy and user consent. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents an area for improvement. No incident response or security contact information is published, which could hinder timely vulnerability reporting and mitigation. No signs of vulnerabilities or malicious activity were found, indicating a low risk of compromise. Overall, the security culture appears adequate but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  3. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible security research.
  4. Regularly audit and update plugins and themes to minimize risks from vulnerable components.
  5. Enhance monitoring and logging capabilities to detect and respond to security incidents promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress infrastructure using the Kadence theme and several well-maintained plugins for SEO, event management, and privacy compliance. The use of Koko Analytics provides lightweight user tracking without cookies, aligning with privacy best practices. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Hosting is via agency name servers, typical for non-profit organizations. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in asset delivery and caching. The technical stack is current and supports the organization's digital needs effectively, though security header implementation and formal security documentation are areas for technical improvement.
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.
