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

3 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 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 Johner Institut occupies a strong niche in the healthcare sector, specifically targeting medical device manufacturers requiring regulatory compliance and market access support. Their business model combines service offerings and software products, catering to a medium-sized enterprise with a German market focus but international reach through regulatory roles like US Agent. The company leverages partnerships and multiple digital platforms (e-learning, service portals, shop) to diversify revenue streams and enhance customer engagement. Their comprehensive service portfolio and professional branding position them as a reliable partner in the medical technology regulatory landscape.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent management, and use of reputable third-party analytics and marketing tools. However, there is no publicly visible security policy or incident response contact, and security headers like Content-Security-Policy are not explicitly detected. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analysis. The absence of a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure mechanism suggests room for improvement in transparency and incident readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could be enhanced with additional policies and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Add and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  3. Create and maintain a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and cookies to ensure ongoing privacy compliance and minimize tracking risks.
  5. Enhance transparency by adding a terms of service page and clearly outlining data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and scalable content management system, combined with Bootstrap and jQuery for responsive and interactive UI components. Google Tag Manager is used for managing analytics and marketing tags, indicating a modern approach to digital marketing. Hosting behind Cloudflare provides CDN and DNS security benefits. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The site uses Swiper.js for interactive sliders. There is no indication of outdated or vulnerable libraries. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and formalize security and privacy documentation to reduce technical risks.
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.
