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. 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

  3. 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';…

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 organization holds a prominent position in the German social welfare sector, providing essential services and advocacy for its members. Their business model focuses on non-profit support services, including insurance brokerage partnerships and quality assurance programs. The website reflects a mature digital presence with active social media engagement and event management. Revenue streams likely include membership fees, service contracts, and project funding. The partnership with Union Versicherungsdienst highlights strategic collaborations enhancing member benefits. The content and structure indicate a stable, large organization with a clear mission and strong market presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, disabled cookies in analytics, and cookie consent mechanisms. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Implementing security headers and publishing a security.txt file would enhance trust and compliance. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from formalized policies and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Add and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide incident response contact information.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit third-party libraries and update them to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by detailing data retention policies and analytics data handling.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, combined with Bootstrap 4 for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity. The inclusion of Matomo analytics with cookie disabling indicates a privacy-aware approach. Performance is moderate with multiple CSS and JS assets loaded, but no major issues detected. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels are present, supporting usability. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured content. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but the domain uses consistent nameservers. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained, suitable for a large non-profit organization.
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.
