The Wissenschaftlicher Beirat Psychotherapie is a German scientific advisory board established under § 8 PsychThG, jointly supported by the Bundesärztekammer and Bundespsychotherapeutenkammer. It provides expert opinions on the scientific recognition of psychotherapy methods, serving as an authoritative body in the healthcare regulatory landscape. The website reflects this official status with professional content, clear contact information, and compliance with data protection laws. Technically, the site is built on TYPO3 CMS, uses modern frontend frameworks like Bootstrap and FontAwesome, and integrates privacy-respecting analytics via Matomo alongside Cookiebot for consent management. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no evident vulnerabilities, though some security headers could be improved. Overall, the site demonstrates a mature digital presence appropriate for a governmental advisory entity.

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
4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
Email security
SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.
Critical
No email authentication configured
Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing
What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately
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 X-Frame-Options header
Prevents clickjacking attacks
What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"
This scan found 22 issues across 5 checks. Monitoring re-runs those checks daily, emails you when something material changes and records each fix, so you can show progress.

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
The advisory board operates in the healthcare and government sectors, targeting healthcare professionals, psychotherapists, and policymakers in Germany. Its business model is non-commercial, focusing on regulatory and scientific advisory services. The organization benefits from strong partnerships with major German medical bodies, enhancing its credibility and influence. The website supports this ecosystem by providing authoritative information, contact channels, and transparent privacy practices. Growth indicators include consistent domain age since 1998 and ongoing digital modernization. The partnership ecosystem includes the Bundesärztekammer and Bundespsychotherapeutenkammer, which also alternate hosting the secretariat. The site’s content and structure support its role as a trusted source in psychotherapy regulation.
Security posture
The website exhibits a good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and use of cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. There is no publicly available security policy or incident response contact, which could enhance transparency and readiness. The use of Matomo analytics indicates a preference for privacy-conscious tracking. Overall, the security posture is appropriate for the organization's risk profile but could be strengthened by adopting additional best practices and publishing formal security documentation.
Recommendations
Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
Publish a clear security policy and provide dedicated incident response contact channels to improve transparency and preparedness.
Regularly update TYPO3 CMS and all third-party libraries to minimize risks from vulnerabilities.
Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
Enhance monitoring and auditing of third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure ongoing privacy compliance.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.

Notes
The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging Bootstrap 5 and FontAwesome for responsive and accessible design. Cookiebot is integrated for comprehensive cookie consent management, and Matomo is used for privacy-focused analytics. Hosting is provided by Schlund Technologies, a reputable German hosting provider. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, but mobile responsiveness and accessibility are good. The site uses modern web standards and includes SEO-friendly meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. Technical risks are low, though some security headers are missing. The site architecture supports a professional and trustworthy user experience aligned with the organization's official role.
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.
