Safer Sex Berlin · Healthcare · Germany

Medium risk. 6 critical or high findings in Security headers, GDPR outside view and 2 other checks.

Security score

62/100

Risk levelMedium

0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Safer Sex Berlin is a grassroots non-profit organization dedicated to improving sexual healthcare access for women and genderqueer individuals in Germany. The organization focuses on advocacy, community programming, pop-up STI testing, and research to address systemic barriers and promote sexual health justice. The website is professionally designed using Squarespace, featuring clear navigation, mobile optimization, and a cookie consent mechanism. However, it lacks explicit privacy policy and terms of service pages, and no direct contact information is provided. The domain WHOIS data is unavailable, raising concerns about domain registration transparency. Overall, the digital presence is solid but would benefit from enhanced compliance documentation and verified contact details.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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';…
  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  3. 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.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

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 safersexberlin.com, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for safersexberlin.com 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 operates in the healthcare and non-profit sectors, targeting a niche audience of FLINTA* individuals in Germany. Its business model centers on community engagement, advocacy, and education rather than commercial sales. The website leverages partnerships such as GoFundMe for fundraising and maintains an Instagram presence for outreach. The lack of WHOIS data and formal privacy/legal documentation suggests areas for operational maturity improvement. The organization appears small but focused, with a clear mission and active community involvement.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with HSTS enabled, uses Google reCAPTCHA for form security, and implements a cookie consent banner, indicating a good baseline security posture. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and preparedness. Enhancing these areas would strengthen trust and compliance, especially given the sensitive nature of the organization's focus.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy detailing GDPR compliance and data handling practices.
  2. Add terms of service and security policy pages to clarify user rights and organizational responsibilities.
  3. Provide verified contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security inquiries.
  4. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, utilizing modern web technologies including Typekit fonts, Google reCAPTCHA, and Weglot for multilingual support. The site demonstrates good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, typical for a Squarespace site, with no major technical debt or errors observed. The absence of custom frameworks or complex backend systems reduces technical risk but also limits customization. Hosting is managed by Squarespace, providing reliable uptime and security features.
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.
