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

isdv e.V. is a professional association representing self-employed and freelance service providers in the event industry in Germany. The organization serves as a lobby and voice for various professions within the event sector, including technical, logistical, and creative roles. The website is well-structured, professionally designed, and provides comprehensive information about the association's mission, services, and news updates. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with Elementor, uses HTTPS, and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for visitor tracking. Privacy and cookie policies are detailed and GDPR-compliant, with active consent mechanisms. However, no explicit security or incident response policies are publicly available, and WHOIS data for the domain is missing, which raises some concerns about domain registration transparency. Overall, the site demonstrates a solid digital presence with room for improvement in security transparency and domain legitimacy verification.

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. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

    • 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
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  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

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 3 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

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 isdv e.V. operates as a niche non-profit professional association focused on the event services sector in Germany. Its business model centers on advocacy, education, networking, and information dissemination for self-employed professionals. The organization targets a specialized audience within the event industry, providing them with representation and resources. The website content and structure indicate a stable and professional operation with active engagement through newsletters and events. The lack of visible commercial activities suggests funding through membership and donations. The association maintains a consistent brand and communicates trust signals through detailed privacy policies and structured data markup. The absence of WHOIS registration details is a notable gap in transparency but does not currently impact the perceived legitimacy of the association.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and includes cookie consent mechanisms, indicating a baseline commitment to security and privacy. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. However, the absence of security headers such as CSP, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. There is no public security policy or incident response information, which limits transparency and preparedness perception. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and MailPoet is standard but requires ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. Recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing security policies, and adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  3. Add a security.txt file to enable responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Elementor page builder, which provides flexibility and ease of content management. It uses jQuery and integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking. The site loads a variety of CSS and JS assets, some cached and minified, indicating performance optimization efforts. Mobile responsiveness is good, and SEO metadata is well implemented with Rank Math SEO plugin. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Performance is moderate with potential for improvement by optimizing asset delivery and caching strategies. No critical technical debt or outdated libraries were detected, but continuous maintenance is recommended to keep the platform secure and performant.
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.
