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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  2. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

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

ABIKW holds a strong regional position as the official waste disposal provider for the Anhalt-Bitterfeld district, operating under municipal mandates. Its business model focuses on regulated waste management services with revenue likely derived from municipal contracts and service fees. The company maintains a subsidiary, Wolfener Recycling GmbH, and partners with regional government entities. The website targets local residents and businesses, providing detailed service information, customer support, and legal documentation. Growth indicators include active recruitment and promotion of training opportunities. The partnership ecosystem includes local government and recycling certification bodies, reinforcing its legitimacy and operational scope.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enabled and secure form handling. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are published, which could hinder timely security communication. No tracking or analytics scripts were detected, minimizing privacy risks. The site does not implement a cookie consent mechanism, which may be a GDPR compliance gap. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a municipal service website but could be improved with enhanced headers, transparency, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to strengthen browser security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  3. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure contact information to improve security transparency.
  4. Consider appointing and publishing Data Protection Officer contact details if applicable.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1 using WPBakery Page Builder and Ultimate VC Addons, leveraging jQuery and FontAwesome for UI elements. The site uses custom CSS and fonts loaded from its own domain, indicating control over assets. Performance is moderate with no major blocking scripts detected. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and viewport meta tags. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with ARIA roles and enhanced keyboard navigation. Hosting provider details are not explicit from the data. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable and suitable for the business needs but could benefit from modern security and accessibility enhancements.
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.
