Psycho-Onkologie Online is a specialized non-profit organization providing psycho-oncological support services to cancer patients and their families in Germany. The website offers three main services: an online screening tool for psychological burdens related to cancer, a finder to locate qualified psycho-oncologists and therapy options nearby, and an online practice for direct consultation. The platform is positioned as a trusted resource with partnerships and funding from recognized organizations in the healthcare and cancer support sectors.
Technically, the website is built on the TYPO3 CMS platform and uses common JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Modernizr. It integrates Piwik/Matomo analytics for user tracking and implements a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. The site is mobile-optimized and presents a professional design with clear navigation, although accessibility features could be improved.
From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent banners, but lacks visible security headers and explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies. The WHOIS data is unavailable, which reduces trustworthiness somewhat, but the website content and partner affiliations support legitimacy. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected.
Overall, the website is a well-structured, trustworthy resource for psycho-oncological support, with moderate technical maturity and a good privacy posture. Strategic improvements in security headers, incident response transparency, and accessibility would enhance its security and compliance standing.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
The organization operates in the healthcare and non-profit sectors, focusing on psycho-oncology support for cancer patients in Germany. Its business model centers on providing online tools and consultation services to ease psychological burdens associated with cancer. The presence of multiple reputable partners and funders indicates a strong collaborative ecosystem. The website targets cancer patients, their partners, and families, offering tailored psycho-oncological resources. The platform's niche focus and quality assurance position it well within its market segment, although the lack of direct contact information on the main page may limit immediate user engagement. The organization appears small but specialized, with a clear mission and stable partnerships.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a notable gap. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are evident. The lack of WHOIS data reduces transparency and trust. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit informational site but could benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency to mitigate risks and improve user trust.
Recommendations
Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the site against common web attacks.
Publish a clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy, including a security.txt file or dedicated contact email for security issues.
Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for users with disabilities, aligning with WCAG guidelines.
Add explicit and verified contact information on the main website to improve user trust and engagement.
Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to ensure they do not introduce vulnerabilities or privacy risks.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a mature and extensible content management system, indicating a stable technical foundation. It uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Modernizr, and SlickNav for responsive navigation and feature detection. The integration of Piwik/Matomo analytics shows a preference for privacy-respecting tracking. The site loads CSS and JS assets with cache-busting query parameters, suggesting active maintenance. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. However, the absence of visible security headers and limited accessibility features indicate areas for technical improvement. Hosting provider details are not disclosed, limiting infrastructure assessment.
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.
