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

Nicht(s) vergessen is a German non-profit initiative supported by Evangelical regional churches and their diaconal works, focusing on providing resources and support for end-of-life planning, bereavement, and related topics. The website offers brochures, online seminars, and informational materials to help individuals prepare for their last journey with dignity and peace. The target audience primarily consists of adults interested in advance care planning and grief support. Technically, the site is built on a W-Commerce Edith CMS platform, utilizing jQuery, Bootstrap, and Matomo analytics, reflecting a mature but somewhat traditional technology stack. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and professional design. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and uses privacy-respecting analytics, but lacks explicit security policies and some advanced security headers. Privacy compliance is strong, with a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism in place. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professionally maintained, and serves a niche non-profit sector effectively.

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

6 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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

The website operates in the non-profit sector, specifically targeting individuals seeking guidance on end-of-life issues, including legal and emotional preparation. Its business model revolves around providing free informational materials and paid seminars, positioning it as a trusted educational resource within the German church-affiliated community. The partnership with W-Commerce for hosting and CMS services indicates a stable technical foundation. The absence of commercial advertising and the focus on privacy-friendly analytics suggest a mission-driven approach rather than profit maximization. The initiative's market position is niche but important, addressing sensitive topics with a compassionate and structured approach. Growth potential lies in expanding seminar offerings and digital resources. The ecosystem includes Evangelical churches and diaconal organizations, enhancing credibility and reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture. HTTPS is enforced, ensuring encrypted communications. The use of Matomo analytics reflects a privacy-conscious approach to user tracking. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy represents an area for improvement. No evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries was found in the HTML content. The site lacks a published security policy or incident response contact, which could hinder timely handling of security incidents. Overall, while the site is secure for general use, implementing additional security best practices and transparency measures would strengthen its security maturity and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate XSS and related attacks.
  2. Add security headers like X-Frame-Options and Referrer-Policy to enhance protection.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information.
  4. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure policy and hosting a security.txt file.
  5. Continue maintaining privacy compliance and consider periodic security audits.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the W-Commerce Edith CMS platform, leveraging jQuery, jQuery UI, Bootstrap, and FontAwesome for frontend functionality and styling. Matomo is used for analytics, indicating a preference for privacy-friendly tools. The site is hosted on servers associated with w-commerce.de, with multiple nameservers configured for redundancy. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous and deferred loading of scripts to optimize page load times. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design elements and viewport meta tags. Accessibility is basic, with skip links and ARIA attributes present but could be improved. SEO is basic, with canonical links and Open Graph metadata implemented, though meta keywords and descriptions are empty. The site uses structured data (JSON-LD) for breadcrumbs, enhancing search engine understanding. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable and suitable for the site's purpose but could benefit from modernization and enhanced accessibility features.
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.
