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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

The website serves as a regional culinary promotion platform under the Bavarian State Ministry for Food, Agriculture, Forestry, and Tourism. It leverages partnerships with related domains and initiatives to showcase culinary locations and events. The business model is non-commercial, focusing on cultural and tourism promotion. The site’s content and structure support engagement with a broad audience interested in regional food culture, enhancing Bavaria's tourism appeal. The presence of competitions and event listings indicates active community involvement and outreach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible sensitive data exposure. The use of Borlabs Cookie for consent management and Matomo for analytics shows attention to privacy and data protection. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and security.txt files suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. The site uses some security-related plugins, including two-factor authentication scripts, indicating proactive security measures. Regular updates and monitoring are recommended to maintain this posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and responsible disclosure.
  4. Continue regular updates of WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance monitoring and logging to detect and respond to potential security incidents promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder, leveraging a variety of JavaScript libraries including jQuery, Slick Slider, and Bootstrap for responsive design and interactive features. Cookie management is handled by Borlabs Cookie, ensuring GDPR compliance. Analytics are performed using Matomo, a privacy-focused tool. The site shows good mobile optimization and accessibility features, including integration with EqualWeb accessibility tools. Performance is moderate, with some room for optimization in loading times and resource management. The technical stack is well-suited for the site's purpose but should be maintained with regular updates and security best practices.
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.
