75/100

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

ver.di is a major German trade union focused on advocating for workers' rights, fair wages, and work-life balance. The website reflects a large, professional organization with a clear mission to support service sector employees. The technical infrastructure uses modern web technologies and includes consent management and analytics tools, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and cookie consent, but lacks visible security headers and explicit privacy and terms policies. Overall, the site is trustworthy and well-maintained but could improve transparency and security practices.

Both readouts depend on the site's pages, which could not be loaded in this scan.

Priority findings

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

ver.di holds a strong market position as one of Germany's largest trade unions, serving a broad membership base in the service sector. Its business model is non-profit and membership-driven, focusing on labor representation and advocacy. The website targets workers and union members, providing information and engagement opportunities. The organization benefits from consistent branding and professional content, supporting its credibility and influence in the labor market.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates cookie consent mechanisms, reflecting compliance with basic security and privacy standards. However, the absence of explicit privacy policies, terms of service, and security headers suggests room for improvement in security governance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which could hinder transparency and trust in security management.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to enhance legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen security posture.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and data protection officer to improve incident response readiness.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention and user data handling practices to align with GDPR requirements.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with CSS and JavaScript, including shariff-plus for social sharing and consentmanager.net for cookie management. Analytics are handled via Piwik (Matomo), a privacy-friendly tool. The site appears mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident in meta tags and Open Graph data. No explicit CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. Hosting details are limited but name servers indicate professional infrastructure.
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.
