Deutsches Taubblindenwerk is a leading non-profit organization in Europe dedicated to supporting individuals with dual sensory impairments, specifically Taubblindheit and Hörsehbehinderung. The organization offers a comprehensive range of services including early intervention, special education, residential care, rehabilitation, and vocational training. Their mission focuses on enabling self-determined lives and social participation for children, youth, and adults affected by these disabilities. The website reflects a well-structured and professional digital presence with clear navigation and accessibility features tailored to their audience. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern frameworks and includes essential SEO and privacy compliance elements such as GDPR-aligned cookie consent and privacy policies.

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

  2. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 organization holds a strong market position as a specialized service provider for people with sensory disabilities in Germany and Europe. Their business model is non-profit, relying on donations, grants, and public funding to sustain operations. Key competitive advantages include specialized educational and rehabilitation programs, residential facilities, and a broad spectrum of supportive services. The target customer segments include affected individuals, families, healthcare and educational professionals, and donors. Growth indicators include active social media engagement and ongoing projects highlighted on the website. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed but includes collaborations with public transport and medical technology providers. Strategic observations suggest a focus on expanding awareness and accessibility, leveraging digital tools for outreach and service delivery.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, anonymized IP tracking in analytics, and a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in transparency and preparedness. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The use of reputable third-party libraries and plugins reduces risk, but continuous monitoring and updating are recommended. Security headers are not explicitly detected, which could be enhanced to mitigate common web threats. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from formalized policies and disclosures to strengthen trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, including abuse and security email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.2.8, utilizing Bootstrap 3.3.2 for responsive design and jQuery for client-side scripting. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for traffic analysis, with IP anonymization enabled to respect privacy. The Smart Slider 3 plugin is used for dynamic content presentation. Cookie consent is managed via Borlabs Cookie, ensuring GDPR compliance. Hosting appears to be managed through DomainControl (GoDaddy) DNS services. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features such as font size adjustment and screen reader labels. SEO is enhanced by structured data (JSON-LD) and Open Graph metadata. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require regular updates and monitoring. Overall, the infrastructure supports a professional and accessible user experience with opportunities for security hardening.
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.
