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

    • 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. 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

IRIS Plattform occupies a specialized niche in healthcare prevention, focusing on maternal health and substance abstinence during pregnancy. Its non-profit, government-backed model emphasizes free access and anonymity, appealing to a sensitive target audience. The platform leverages partnerships with public health institutions and private health insurers, enhancing credibility and reach. Revenue streams are likely public funding and institutional support rather than commercial sales. The business model prioritizes social impact over profit, with growth potential tied to public health initiatives and digital health trends. The partnership ecosystem includes the Bundesinstitut für Öffentliche Gesundheit and PKV, indicating strong institutional backing.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, privacy-conscious analytics (Matomo with IP anonymization and no cookies without consent), and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism. However, it lacks published formal security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are recommended for transparency and trust. No security headers were explicitly detected in the provided data, suggesting room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Overall, the platform balances user privacy and security well but could enhance its security culture and communication.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a formal security policy and incident response information on the website.
  2. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Provide direct contact information for security or abuse reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust open-source content management system widely used in Germany. It uses jQuery 3.5.1 and a custom PWA update component, indicating some level of progressive web app functionality. Matomo analytics is deployed with privacy-focused settings, including IP anonymization and no cookies without consent. The site is hosted on German nameservers consistent with the target audience and language. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. There is no indication of technical debt or outdated technologies beyond the use of jQuery, which remains common. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business goals effectively with opportunities for further modernization and security hardening.
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.
