Verband der Ersatzkassen e.V. (vdek) · Healthcare · Germany
Low risk. 2 critical or high findings in Email security and SSL/TLS.
The vdek-Kliniklotse website is an official healthcare information portal operated by the Verband der Ersatzkassen e.V. (vdek), providing a comprehensive search platform for hospitals across Germany. It leverages official quality reports to offer patients and their families detailed information about hospital services, specialties, and quality metrics. The site also offers additional resources such as checklists for hospital stays and links to related vdek services like care and doctor locators. The target audience is primarily German-speaking patients seeking reliable healthcare information. Technically, the website employs a modern frontend stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, and FontAwesome, ensuring good mobile responsiveness and accessibility. It uses Matomo analytics with user consent, reflecting a privacy-conscious approach. The site is well-structured with clear navigation and professional design, although no CMS or hosting provider details are explicitly identified. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements a detailed cookie consent mechanism with categories for necessary and statistical cookies. However, it lacks explicit security headers and published security policies or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The WHOIS data indicates a consistent and legitimate domain registration aligned with the business entity. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy, professional, and privacy-compliant platform with good content quality and technical implementation. Strategic improvements could include enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and adding vulnerability disclosure information to further strengthen trust and compliance.
Scanned
NIS2 Art. 21(2)
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.
2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.
DKIM selector 'dkim' uses 168-bit key
What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA keys for DKIM
TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.
Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1
What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.
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.
Counted in this score
Not counted
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.
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.

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.
Leaked records that mention vdek-kliniklotse.de, from OffSeq Breach.
No leaked records found
Breach holds no records for vdek-kliniklotse.de right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.
Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.
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.
