Medium risk. 4 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view and SSL/TLS.

Security score

70/100

Risk levelMedium

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

Hoffnungstaler Stiftung Lobetal is a German non-profit foundation providing a broad range of social, medical, and educational services primarily in Berlin and Brandenburg. The website presents a professional and accessible digital presence built on Joomla CMS, incorporating modern technologies such as Usercentrics for cookie consent and Matomo for privacy-respecting analytics. The organization targets individuals seeking social support, healthcare, and education, emphasizing inclusion and community engagement. While the site is well-structured and content-rich, explicit privacy policies and terms of service are not found, which could be improved for compliance and transparency. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and consent management, but lacks explicit incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

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

4 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. 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

The foundation holds a strong regional position in the non-profit sector, offering diverse services from elderly care to migration support and professional education. Its partnerships with related domains for career services, education, and sustainability indicate a collaborative ecosystem. The business model focuses on community and social welfare rather than commercial revenue. The website's content and navigation cater well to its target audience, supporting accessibility and inclusivity. Growth potential lies in expanding digital transparency and enhancing security communication.

Security posture

The website demonstrates good security hygiene with HTTPS enforcement and use of a consent management platform. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure reduces transparency and readiness perception. Security headers are not explicitly confirmed and should be audited. The use of Matomo analytics aligns with privacy best practices. Overall, the security posture is mature but could benefit from formalized policies and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage.
  2. Implement and publicly disclose a security policy including incident response contacts.
  3. Add a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure page to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Audit and implement recommended security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Enhance contact information with verified company emails and phone numbers for user trust.

The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with features like screen reader support and font size adjustment.

The technical infrastructure is stable and well-maintained, supporting the foundation's digital presence effectively.
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.
