Partial score · DNS & email only

72/100

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

The website www.kbv.de represents the Kassenärztliche Bundesvereinigung (KBV), the umbrella organization for 17 statutory health insurance physician associations in Germany. It serves as a central platform organizing ambulatory healthcare and representing the interests of contracted physicians and psychotherapists at the federal level. The site targets healthcare professionals and stakeholders within the German healthcare system. The business model is non-profit and focused on healthcare governance and support services. The organization holds a strong national market position as a key healthcare body in Germany. Technically, the website is hosted on Akamai CDN infrastructure, uses modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and Bootstrap for responsive design. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices. Cookie consent is managed via a custom script from a subdomain. However, no explicit CMS or analytics services were detected. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and shows no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks explicit security headers and does not provide a public security policy or incident response contacts. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of visible privacy and cookie policies. Contact information is not directly available on the homepage, which may impact user trust and compliance. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-structured but would benefit from enhanced privacy disclosures, security headers, and clearer contact information to improve compliance and user confidence.

Priority findings

2 findings 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
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 384-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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

KBV operates as a large, essential healthcare entity in Germany, coordinating statutory health insurance physicians. Its competitive advantage lies in its authoritative role and nationwide reach. The business model is service and representation-oriented rather than commercial. Revenue streams likely come from statutory health insurance contributions and government funding. The target customers are contracted physicians, psychotherapists, and indirectly patients. Growth indicators include digital health initiatives and comprehensive information services. The partnership ecosystem includes career portals and digital health service providers. Strategic observations highlight the organization's role in healthcare policy and digital infrastructure support.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data leaks. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of a published security policy or incident response contacts indicate room for improvement. There are no signs of vulnerabilities or malware. GDPR compliance is partial due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Incident response readiness is unclear. The security culture appears professional but could be enhanced by transparency and formal disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy accessible from the homepage.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  4. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance cookie consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance and user transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a solid technical foundation using modern web standards and responsive design frameworks. Hosting on Akamai CDN ensures good performance and availability. The use of custom cookie consent scripts indicates attention to privacy, though implementation could be improved. No major technical debt or obsolete technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to modernize security configurations and enhance analytics and monitoring capabilities to support business operations and compliance.
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.
