RückHalt e.V. is a specialized non-profit counseling center based in Aachen, Germany, dedicated to supporting individuals affected by sexual violence, their relatives, and professionals in the region. The organization offers a range of services including counseling, psychosocial process support, assistance with applications, training, and prevention programs. The website reflects a focused mission with clear service offerings and a regional target audience. Technically, the site is built on the Weblication® CMS platform, hosted via DomainControl (GoDaddy), and demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices. However, it lacks advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are important for GDPR compliance and security posture. The site does not appear to use analytics or tracking services, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for improvement in security policies and incident response transparency.

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.

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

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The organization operates as a small-sized non-profit entity with a clear regional focus on the Aachen area. Its business model centers on providing counseling and support services to victims of sexual violence and related stakeholders. The website's professional design and consistent branding support its credibility. The absence of commercial advertising or affiliate programs aligns with its non-profit status. The organization maintains a clear contact presence but lacks visible certifications or formal security policies on the site. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the domain or website content. The business appears stable with a focused service offering and a trusted position within its niche.
Security posture
The website enforces HTTPS, which is mandatory for secure communications. However, no security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), or X-Frame-Options were detected in the provided content, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No forms collecting sensitive personal data beyond a search input were found, reducing immediate risk. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact channels limits transparency and preparedness visibility. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing standard security headers, cookie consent, and incident response information.
Recommendations
Implement standard security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
Regularly audit and update the website's technical stack and security configurations to maintain a strong security posture.

Technical notes
Notes
The website uses a modern HTML5 and CSS3 structure with JavaScript for UI enhancements. It is built on the Weblication® CMS platform, a professional German CMS product. Hosting is managed via DomainControl, a GoDaddy service, indicating reliable infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO meta tags. Performance is moderate, with deferred CSS loading and lazy loading of images to improve load times. Accessibility features are basic but present. No third-party analytics or tracking scripts were detected, which reduces privacy concerns but also limits marketing insights. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy compliance mechanisms.
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.
