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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  3. 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';…

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

DSSD operates in the healthcare non-profit sector, leveraging partnerships with the German Red Cross to facilitate stem cell donor registrations and awareness campaigns. Its business model relies on volunteer engagement, fundraising, and event organization. The website's clear calls to action and affiliation with reputable organizations position it well within its niche. The absence of direct contact emails but presence of a contact form suggests controlled communication channels. The partnership ecosystem includes the DRK blood donation services, enhancing credibility and reach. Growth indicators include active blog updates and event promotions. The organization appears medium-sized with a focused mission and stable market presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and CSRF tokens are implemented, indicating awareness of common web security practices. Cookie consent is managed via a reputable third-party service, supporting privacy compliance. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security hardening. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are published, which could hinder transparency and rapid response to security incidents. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit informational site but could be improved with additional policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users, including those with disabilities.
  5. Improve SEO metadata completeness and structured data to increase search engine visibility and content discoverability.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a standard technology stack with jQuery, Bootstrap for responsive design, and FontAwesome for icons. Matomo analytics is deployed for privacy-conscious user tracking, complemented by CookieFirst for consent management. The site is mobile-optimized and structured with clear navigation menus and calls to action. No CMS or hosting provider details are explicitly detected. Performance is moderate, with no evident broken elements or errors. The site uses CSRF tokens indicating backend security considerations. Opportunities exist to modernize by adopting newer frameworks or CMS platforms and improving SEO and accessibility standards.
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.
