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

The website infovictims.de is operated by the WEISSER RING Deutschland, a German non-profit organization dedicated to supporting victims of crime. The site provides comprehensive information on victims' rights, the criminal justice process, and where to find assistance. It targets victims and their families, offering clear, accessible content primarily in German. The business model is informational and supportive, with no commercial transactions evident. The site holds a good market position within the non-profit victim support sector in Germany. Technically, the website runs on Drupal 7 with an older jQuery version and uses Piwik for analytics. Hosting appears to be with Deutsche Telekom based on nameservers. The site is moderately optimized for performance and accessibility but lacks advanced mobile optimization and modern technical features. SEO is basic but functional. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and employs Piwik with Do Not Track enabled, indicating some privacy awareness. However, it lacks visible security headers and uses outdated JavaScript libraries, which could pose risks. No cookie consent mechanism or explicit privacy compliance tools are present, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. No incident response or security policy information is provided. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional for its non-profit purpose but would benefit from technical modernization and enhanced privacy and security practices. The risk level is moderate with no critical vulnerabilities detected but room for improvement in 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

7 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. 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 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 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

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.

Business context

Business profile

The WEISSER RING Deutschland operates infovictims.de as a trusted resource for crime victims in Germany, leveraging its established reputation in the non-profit sector. The website serves as an educational and support platform, providing legal and procedural information to victims and their families. The organization likely relies on public funding and European Commission co-financing, as indicated by disclaimers. The target audience is well-defined, and the content is tailored to their needs. The partnership ecosystem includes the European Commission and possibly other victim support entities. The business model is non-commercial, focusing on social impact rather than revenue generation. Growth indicators are not explicit but the site’s comprehensive content and multilingual options suggest ongoing development. Strategic observations include the need to modernize technology and enhance digital engagement to maintain relevance and trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible signs of malware or phishing. The use of Piwik analytics with Do Not Track enabled is a positive privacy measure. However, the presence of outdated jQuery 1.12 introduces potential vulnerabilities. The absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces defense-in-depth. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, limiting transparency and preparedness. GDPR compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, suitable for an informational non-profit site but requiring improvements to meet modern standards and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a GDPR-compliant cookie consent banner and mechanism to enhance privacy compliance.
  2. Upgrade JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  3. Add and configure essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience and broaden audience reach.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 7, an older CMS version that may pose maintenance and security challenges. The front-end relies on jQuery 1.12, which is outdated and potentially vulnerable. The site uses Piwik analytics hosted on a related domain, with Do Not Track enabled, reflecting some privacy consideration. Hosting appears to be with Deutsche Telekom, a reputable provider. Performance is moderate with multiple CSS and JS imports, but no advanced optimization techniques detected. SEO is basic with canonical and shortlink tags present. Accessibility features are minimal but present. The site lacks modern frameworks or platforms and would benefit from a technology refresh to improve security, performance, and maintainability.
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.
