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

LSVD⁺ – Verband Queere Vielfalt e.V. is a prominent German non-profit organization advocating for the rights and interests of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans*, intersex, and queer (LSBTIQ*) individuals. The organization focuses on political advocacy, legal advice, public awareness, and community support, positioning itself as a leading voice for queer diversity and human rights in Germany. Their website reflects a professional and comprehensive approach to content delivery, targeting both the queer community and allies with educational resources, event information, and legal guidance. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including jQuery, Slick Carousel, and the Foundation framework, hosted on DomainControl nameservers, and uses Matomo analytics to maintain privacy-conscious user tracking. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and AJAX-based contact forms, but lacks visible security headers and a cookie consent mechanism, which are areas for improvement. Overall, the site is accessible, well-structured, and trustworthy, with clear contact information and active social media engagement.

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

    • 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 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

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 LSVD⁺ operates within the non-profit sector, focusing on LGBTQ+ rights advocacy in Germany. It maintains a medium-sized organizational footprint with a strong market position as a key stakeholder in queer political and social issues. The business model centers on advocacy, education, and community engagement rather than commercial revenue. The organization leverages partnerships and media presence to amplify its mission. Its digital presence supports its goals through comprehensive legal resources, event calendars, and active communication channels. The absence of detailed WHOIS registrant data limits full verification of domain ownership, but the domain and website content align well with the organization's mission and branding. The organization benefits from trust indicators such as transparent contact details, regular press releases, and a consistent brand identity.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is implemented, and the use of Matomo analytics suggests a privacy-aware approach. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security posture. The contact form uses AJAX with validation, but no explicit anti-spam or injection protections are visible in the provided data. There is no evidence of a published security policy or incident response contacts, which are common in more mature security programs. The site does not display cookie consent banners, which may be a compliance gap under GDPR. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be enhanced with standard best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Add a visible and compliant cookie consent mechanism to ensure GDPR compliance and user transparency.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and preparedness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance contact form protections against spam and injection attacks through CAPTCHA or server-side validation.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and stable technology stack with jQuery, Slick Carousel for sliders, FontAwesome for icons, and the Foundation framework for responsive design. The site is hosted on DomainControl nameservers, indicating a professional hosting setup. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading and responsive design for mobile devices. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured navigation menus. Accessibility is basic but present, with ARIA roles and keyboard navigation support. The site lacks explicit CMS identification, suggesting a custom or less common CMS. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security headers and cookie management are recommended to align with best practices.
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.
