Risk levelMedium

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

The Medizinische Sektion am Goetheanum is a specialized non-profit organization focused on anthroposophic medicine, providing educational programs, research, and networking opportunities for healthcare professionals and interested individuals. The website reflects a niche healthcare and educational entity with a consistent brand and professional presentation. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies with a custom or proprietary framework, delivering a good user experience with mobile optimization and clear navigation. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced but lacks advanced security headers and published policies, indicating room for improvement in compliance and incident readiness. Overall, the site is trustworthy and safe, with no signs of malicious content or blocking 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

3 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.

    • 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. 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
  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention medsektion-goetheanum.org, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for medsektion-goetheanum.org right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

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 within the healthcare and non-profit sectors, targeting professionals and students in anthroposophic medicine. Its business model centers on education, research, and community building rather than commercial sales. The site links to partner networks and specialized therapy groups, indicating a collaborative ecosystem. The absence of commercial advertising and tracking suggests a focus on mission-driven activities. The Goetheanum affiliation enhances credibility and market position within its specialized field.

Security posture

The website demonstrates basic security maturity with HTTPS and no visible vulnerabilities in the provided content. However, it lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. The absence of security headers and privacy/cookie policies indicates gaps in compliance with GDPR and best practices. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, reducing privacy risks but also limiting user behavior insights. The security culture appears cautious but could benefit from formalized documentation and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure information accessible to users.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet modern standards and improve user inclusivity.
  5. Consider integrating privacy-respecting analytics to monitor site performance and user engagement.

Technical notes

Notes

The site uses a custom or proprietary framework named Helm, with standard web technologies including JavaScript, CSS, and SVG for graphics. The design is responsive and optimized for mobile devices. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected in the HTML structure. SEO is supported by appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. There is no evidence of third-party analytics or advertising scripts, indicating low technical complexity and reduced external dependencies.
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.
