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. 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

  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. 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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention paritaet.org, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for paritaet.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 holds a leading position in the German social welfare landscape, leveraging a broad network of member organizations to influence social policy and provide services. Its business model is non-profit and membership-based, focusing on advocacy, quality assurance, and support services. The presence of a dedicated insurance partner indicates diversified service offerings. The website's content and structure support transparency and engagement with stakeholders. The organization's long history (founded 1924) and extensive membership base provide competitive advantages and market stability. The digital ecosystem includes active social media channels and a newsletter service, enhancing outreach and community building.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, privacy-conscious analytics (Matomo with disabled cookies), and cookie consent mechanisms. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and a published security policy or incident response contacts indicates room for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The site lacks a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosure, which could enhance transparency and trust. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the organization's profile but could benefit from formalized policies and additional technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Continue monitoring privacy compliance and update cookie consent mechanisms as regulations evolve.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a robust TYPO3 CMS platform with Bootstrap 4 for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity. It uses Matomo analytics configured to disable cookies, reflecting privacy awareness. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets efficiently, though performance is moderate, possibly due to the number of resources. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels are present, enhancing usability. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph tags, and structured navigation. The site is mobile-optimized and uses modern web standards. Hosting details are not explicitly identified, but the domain uses appropriate name servers consistent with the organization. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid with opportunities for performance tuning and enhanced security headers.
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.
