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

Internationaler Bund (IB) is a large, well-established German non-profit organization focused on social work and education, supporting children, youth, and adults nationwide. With over 14,000 employees, IB offers a broad range of services including youth social work, refugee assistance, vocational training, and senior citizen support. The organization maintains a strong market position in the social services sector in Germany, emphasizing community support and education. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and flexible content management system, hosted by Deutsche Telekom AG. The site integrates modern tools such as Matomo for analytics with user consent, Cookiebot for cookie management, and FontAwesome for icons. The website demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, although accessibility features could be improved. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, employs standard security headers, and respects privacy compliance with comprehensive policies and consent mechanisms. However, it lacks a publicly available security policy or vulnerability disclosure program, which could enhance trust and incident readiness. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with GDPR requirements. It effectively communicates its mission and services to its target audience. Strategic improvements in security transparency and accessibility would further strengthen its 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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

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

Internationaler Bund operates as a non-profit entity in the education and social services sectors, targeting a broad demographic including children, youth, adults, and vulnerable populations such as refugees and the homeless. Its business model centers on providing social support and educational programs funded through public and private partnerships. The organization's large size and extensive service offerings position it as a key player in Germany's social welfare landscape. The website reflects a mature digital presence with clear branding and comprehensive service descriptions. Partnerships and external integrations appear limited to essential service providers, maintaining focus on core mission activities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforcement, appropriate security headers, and privacy-respecting analytics. The use of Cookiebot ensures compliance with cookie consent regulations. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page and vulnerability disclosure mechanism indicates room for improvement in transparency and incident management preparedness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the provided content. The organization should consider publishing security policies and providing clear incident response contacts to enhance stakeholder confidence and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet higher standards for users with disabilities.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system suitable for complex organizational websites. Hosting by Deutsche Telekom AG ensures reliable infrastructure. Integration of Matomo analytics with consent and Cookiebot for cookie management reflects a mature approach to privacy and data protection. The site uses modern CSS and JavaScript libraries including FontAwesome and Flockler embeds for social content. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization, though some CSS and script loading could be optimized further. Accessibility is basic, suggesting potential technical debt in this area. Overall, the technical stack supports the organization's needs effectively with opportunities for modernization and enhanced user experience.
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.
