Try running

`sudo gvm-check-setup`

it tells you the error. Most likely it’s an invalid certificate, but it should give you a specific fix.
If it is an invalid certificate, you can fix it by running
sudo runuser -u _gvm -- gvm-manage-certs -a -f

You also should check the gsad.log file somewhere in /var/log for errors.
