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

Kompetenznetz Einsamkeit is a German non-profit organization focused on addressing the causes and consequences of loneliness, providing information and support offers to affected individuals. The website serves as an informational portal targeting a general audience interested in loneliness-related topics. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using the Brooklyn theme by United Themes, incorporating modern JavaScript libraries and Matomo analytics for user tracking with some privacy considerations. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data, though the absence of security headers and formal privacy and cookie policies indicates room for improvement. Overall, the website is functional, professionally designed, and trustworthy, but lacks some compliance and security best practices.

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

7 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

  2. 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';…

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 organization operates in the non-profit sector, focusing on social issues related to loneliness. Its market position is niche, serving individuals and stakeholders interested in loneliness research and support. The business model revolves around awareness, education, and connecting users to support services. The presence of a Twitter account suggests engagement with the community. The website content is consistent and professionally presented, supporting a small-sized organization based in Germany. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified. The site does not appear to monetize through advertising or affiliate programs, focusing instead on informational content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data leaks. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, which limits transparency and readiness. The use of Matomo analytics with user consent not given suggests partial privacy compliance. The site should implement formal privacy and cookie policies and enhance security headers to improve its security posture and compliance with GDPR and related regulations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Regularly audit and update all plugins and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance user consent mechanisms for analytics and tracking to improve privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with a commercial Brooklyn theme and multiple JavaScript libraries including GSAP, Flickity, Flexslider, LightGallery, and Swiper for enhanced UI/UX. Matomo analytics is deployed for user tracking. The site is served over HTTPS with multiple UI-DNS name servers indicating professional DNS management. Performance is moderate with caching and minification evident. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic. SEO is supported by All in One SEO plugin with proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. Technical debt appears low, but security headers and formal compliance documents are missing, representing modernization opportunities.
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.
