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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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 organization holds a strong market position as a regional leader in palliative care within Brandenburg, supported by a parent company with multiple healthcare subsidiaries. Their business model focuses on non-profit healthcare delivery, emphasizing patient-centered care and community support. The extensive network of related domains and partner sites indicates a broad ecosystem of healthcare and social services. The website's content and structure suggest a mature digital presence aimed at patients, families, and healthcare professionals. Growth indicators include active news updates and social media engagement. The partnership ecosystem is robust, linking to various specialized centers and services under the Immanuel Albertinen Diakonie umbrella.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no detected vulnerabilities or sensitive data leaks. The use of Matomo analytics hosted internally aligns with privacy best practices. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a compliance gap. Security headers are not explicitly detected, which could be improved to enhance protection against common web threats. Overall, the site is secure but would benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized security documentation to meet higher compliance standards such as ISO 27001 or NIST frameworks.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security measures and compliance.
  2. Add incident response contact information, including security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Continue monitoring and updating third-party libraries and CMS components to avoid vulnerabilities.

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, ensuring scalability and maintainability. The front-end uses modern HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript with responsive design techniques for mobile optimization. Performance is moderate, with compressed CSS and JS assets indicating optimization efforts. The site includes accessibility features such as skip navigation links and ARIA labels, enhancing usability for assistive technologies. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter card metadata. Hosting details are limited but DNS nameservers suggest a professional hosting environment. No critical technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected.
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.
