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

Sozialkompass.info is a German-language platform launched in 2023 that provides individuals with personalized information about social benefits they may be entitled to. The service uses a question-based approach to tailor social benefits information and offers a centralized overview of supported social benefits with relevant contact points. The website targets residents in Germany seeking guidance on social welfare programs. Technically, the site is built on a modern React and Next.js stack, hosted and DNS-managed via Cloudflare, ensuring good performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and clientTransferProhibited domain status, but lacks DNSSEC and some security headers. Privacy compliance is partial with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Contact is primarily via email, with no phone numbers or detailed business registration info publicly available. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could improve in security and compliance 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.

Priority findings

5 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 platform occupies a niche in the government/non-profit sector by providing social benefits information digitally. Its business model centers on offering free or informational services to individuals navigating social welfare systems. The company appears small and newly founded in 2023, with no visible parent or subsidiary companies. The website’s clear branding and consistent messaging support its market positioning as a reliable social benefits guide. Social media presence on LinkedIn and Instagram suggests efforts to engage users and build community trust. The lack of phone contact and limited business info may reflect a lean operational model focused on digital interaction.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Cloudflare for DNS and hosting, which provides a solid baseline security level. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options represents missed opportunities to harden security further. No incident response or security policy information is published, which could be a gap in transparency and preparedness. The site explicitly states that user inputs are not stored, enhancing privacy. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from implementing additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and display a cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  5. Consider adding phone contact options or live support channels to improve user trust and accessibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern React and Next.js framework, which supports server-side rendering and good SEO practices. Hosting and DNS are managed by Cloudflare, providing performance and security benefits. The site loads quickly and is mobile optimized with responsive design. No CMS is detected, indicating a custom-built solution. Accessibility is basic but functional. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and alternate language links. The site uses a JavaScript script from dsgvo.sozialkompass.info for privacy-related functionality, but no major analytics or tracking services are evident. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-implemented with room for security enhancements.
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.
