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

The website www.ngg.net represents the Gewerkschaft Nahrung-Genuss-Gaststätten (NGG), a large German trade union focused on workers in the food industry, food crafts, and hospitality sectors. The site provides comprehensive information about the union's activities, member services, labor rights advocacy, and sector-specific hotlines. It targets employees and workers in these industries, offering resources such as legal protection, education, and collective bargaining updates. The website is professionally designed, well-structured, and fully accessible, reflecting a mature digital presence. Technically, the site is built on TYPO3 CMS with Bootstrap and modern frontend tools like Vite and Leaflet for mapping features. It demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and secure forms, though some advanced security headers could be added. Privacy compliance is robust with clear privacy and cookie policies aligned with GDPR requirements. Contact information is primarily via web forms, with no direct emails or phone numbers exposed. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable, showing no registration match, which is unusual but may be due to privacy protection or recent registration. Despite this, the website's professional quality and content indicate legitimacy. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, allowing full content access. Overall, the site scores well on content quality, technical implementation, security, and privacy compliance, with minor deductions due to WHOIS transparency and lack of explicit security policies. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing an incident response policy, and improving transparency around analytics and tracking. These steps would further strengthen trust and security posture.

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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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 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';…

  3. 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

    • 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

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

NGG operates as a key trade union in Germany, representing approximately 180,000 members in food-related industries. Its competitive advantage lies in its focused advocacy for fair wages, social justice, and worker rights in specialized sectors such as bakery, meat, beverages, and hospitality. The business model centers on membership services, collective bargaining, legal support, and educational initiatives. The union maintains a strong partnership ecosystem, including sector-specific hotlines and campaigns. Growth indicators include active campaigns, regional offices, and digital member engagement. The website reflects a mature organization with consistent branding and professional communication.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and secure login mechanisms for members. Privacy and cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure reduces transparency. No known vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Security headers beyond basic ones could be improved. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  4. Enhance analytics and tracking transparency to align with privacy best practices and user expectations.
  5. Consider registering WHOIS data publicly or clarifying privacy protection to improve domain trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, combined with Bootstrap for responsive design and Vite for asset bundling. Leaflet is used for interactive maps, indicating advanced frontend features. The site is mobile optimized, accessible, and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, likely due to rich media content and slider components. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were observed. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence.
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.
