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

TelefonSeelsorge Ostoberfranken is a well-established non-profit organization founded in 1969, providing free crisis counseling services primarily via telephone, online, and local in-person support. The website serves as an informational and access portal for these services, targeting individuals in emotional or psychological distress within the Ostoberfranken region of Germany. The organization is supported financially by the Seelsorge-Stiftung Oberfranken, enhancing its credibility and trustworthiness. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 9, leveraging Bootstrap and FontAwesome for responsive and accessible design. Hosting is provided by hosteurope.de, a reputable provider. The site is mobile-optimized and offers a clear navigation structure, although some SEO and accessibility features could be improved. No advanced analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS but lacks visible security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are recommended for compliance with EU regulations. No incident response or security policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure information is available. The WHOIS data shows a domain age consistent with the organization's founding date, supporting legitimacy, though registrant details are minimal. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and serves its non-profit mission effectively. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy compliance, and transparency around security policies would enhance its posture and user trust.

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

7 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

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

TelefonSeelsorge Ostoberfranken occupies a niche in the non-profit crisis counseling sector within Germany, with a long history since 1969. Its competitive advantage lies in offering free, confidential support via multiple channels including phone, online, and app-based services. The organization targets individuals in emotional distress, positioning itself as a trusted regional resource. Revenue streams are primarily donations and foundation support, with no commercial activities evident. The partnership with Seelsorge-Stiftung Oberfranken strengthens its financial base. The website reflects a focused, mission-driven approach with limited marketing or advertising, emphasizing service over commercial gain.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No visible security or incident response policies limit transparency and preparedness perception. The lack of cookie consent mechanisms may expose the organization to GDPR compliance risks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and enhancing privacy compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with GDPR and ePrivacy Directive.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party libraries and Drupal core to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimizations to improve user experience and reach.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern CMS platform, Drupal 9, which supports modularity and security updates. The use of Bootstrap and FontAwesome indicates a responsive and visually consistent design approach. Hosting on hosteurope.de provides reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with a carousel and multiple CSS files loaded. No advanced analytics or tracking scripts were detected, reducing privacy risks but also limiting marketing insights. The site lacks some modern SEO and accessibility best practices, which could be addressed to improve visibility and compliance. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but has room for modernization and optimization.
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.
