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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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

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

GVP holds a strong market position as a large, essential industry association in the personnel services sector in Germany. Its business model revolves around membership fees, providing legal, educational, and networking services to its members. The organization leverages digital channels effectively for communication and engagement, including events and online seminars. The presence of tariff negotiation information and legal updates indicates active involvement in labor market regulation. The website's content and structure support a professional image, enhancing member trust and market credibility. Partnerships with entities like DAK-Gesundheit and integration of digital tools for member engagement reflect a forward-looking approach. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests controlled communication channels, likely to manage member interactions securely.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a strong security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and use of CAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse. Cookie consent is managed via Borlabs Cookie, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the analysis. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. There is also no published vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file, which could enhance trust and facilitate responsible vulnerability reporting. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but could improve in formalizing and publishing security governance documents.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party plugins and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance form security with additional anti-bot measures or multi-factor authentication for member login.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building and WooCommerce for e-commerce capabilities. It employs jQuery and Swiper.js for interactive elements and integrates Borlabs Cookie for GDPR-compliant cookie management. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by rich media content and multiple scripts. The technical stack is well-maintained with no obvious deprecated or vulnerable components detected. Opportunities exist to optimize loading times and further enhance 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.
