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

5 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. 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';…

  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 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

KVH operates as a key healthcare institution in Hessen, representing and supporting physicians and psychotherapists within the statutory health insurance framework. Its business model centers on member services, regulatory compliance, and healthcare coordination. The website reflects a mature digital presence with integrated tools for billing, practice management, and patient engagement. Partnerships with related domains such as KV-SafeNet and emergency medical services enhance its ecosystem. The organization targets healthcare professionals and patients, providing extensive educational and support resources. The absence of commercial advertising and focus on public service underscores its non-profit, government-related nature. KVH's digital infrastructure supports its strategic goals of efficient healthcare delivery and member support.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with enforced HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism that respects user privacy. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No public security policy or incident response contacts were found, which could enhance transparency and readiness. The use of Matomo analytics indicates a preference for privacy-friendly tracking. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a public healthcare organization but could benefit from enhanced header policies and published security guidelines.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options headers to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
  4. Enhance user privacy controls by providing detailed information on data retention and processing related to analytics.
  5. Maintain and update cookie consent mechanisms to comply with evolving privacy regulations and user expectations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, ensuring scalability and maintainability. It uses jQuery 3.6.0 and integrates Matomo for analytics, reflecting a modern but stable technology stack. Hosting is provided by Anexia, as indicated by the nameservers. The site is responsive and accessible, with good SEO metadata and Open Graph tags for social sharing. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by large images and slider components. The site employs a cookie consent manager with granular options, demonstrating compliance with privacy laws. There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries in the provided HTML. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the organization's needs effectively with opportunities for optimization in security headers and performance.
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.
