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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
Diakonie Deutschland holds a leading position in the German non-profit social welfare sector, providing a broad range of services including social support, advocacy, and voter education tools. Its business model is non-profit and service-oriented, targeting citizens and vulnerable groups. The organization leverages partnerships with reputable entities such as EKD and Brot für die Welt, enhancing its ecosystem and credibility. The website supports multiple service portals including online consultation, career opportunities, and a shop, indicating diversified engagement channels. Growth indicators include active social media presence and campaigns like #SozialWählen. The organization maintains a strong digital presence with modern CMS and analytics integration, reflecting digital maturity.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of privacy proxy for consent management scripts, and no exposed sensitive data. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not detected and could be added to enhance protection against common web attacks. No incident response or security policy information is published, which is a gap in transparency and readiness. The use of reputable analytics and consent management tools indicates awareness of privacy and security best practices. Overall, the security risk is low but can be improved by publishing security policies and implementing additional HTTP headers.
Recommendations
Implement and configure security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the website against attacks.
Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
Enhance contact information by providing verified company emails and phone numbers for better user trust and support.
Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities or privacy issues arise.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and extensible content management system, indicating a stable and scalable infrastructure. The use of Usercentrics for consent management and integration of both Google Analytics and Matomo shows a balanced approach to analytics and privacy. Hosting via Cloudflare DNS suggests good availability and performance benefits. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and accessible navigation. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed by optimizing assets. No critical technical debt or outdated libraries were detected. Overall, the technical implementation supports the organization's mission effectively with room for incremental improvements.
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.
