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

9 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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 website serves a niche market within healthcare, focusing on Disease Management Programs (DMP) patient education. Its competitive advantage lies in accredited, expert-developed content and a comprehensive suite of training materials available both digitally and in print. Revenue streams include sales of educational materials via an online shop and possibly training services. The target customers are healthcare providers and certified trainers. The site shows signs of strategic partnerships with related domains under Deutscher Ärzteverlag, enhancing its market reach. Growth indicators include active news updates and a newsletter subscription. The business ecosystem is supported by recognized certifications and compliance with German healthcare standards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, no exposed sensitive data, and use of consent management tools. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and security.txt files indicates room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. No vulnerable libraries or security flaws were detected in the provided content. The site follows GDPR compliance practices, but could enhance its security posture by implementing recommended HTTP security headers and publishing incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures and improve transparency.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
  5. Enhance user trust by providing more detailed business registration and certification information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress 6.8.3 with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Yoast SEO, Google Tag Manager, and Usercentrics for GDPR compliance. It employs multiple plugins for user management, downloads, and forms. The site is hosted with DNS managed by DomainControl (GoDaddy). Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is well implemented with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. The site uses a custom theme with Bootstrap blocks for layout. There is no evidence of technical debt or deprecated technologies. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and streamline third-party scripts for performance gains.
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.
