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

The Entwässerungsbetrieb Lutherstadt Wittenberg is a municipal utility specializing in wastewater management and treatment services for the Lutherstadt Wittenberg region in Germany. The website serves as an informational portal providing details on wastewater treatment plants, sewer networks, disposal services, environmental protection, and customer service. It is part of the Stadtwerke Lutherstadt Wittenberg group, indicating a stable local market position with a medium-sized operational scale. The company emphasizes environmental responsibility and community service. Technically, the website is built on the TYPO3 CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Swiper.js, and integrates accessibility tools like eyeAble. The site is mobile-optimized, well-structured, and includes SEO best practices. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and implements a robust cookie consent mechanism, though it lacks explicit security headers and published incident response policies. Overall, the website demonstrates a good security posture with room for improvement in formal security documentation and header implementation. The domain WHOIS data is minimal but consistent with the business profile, and no suspicious indicators are present. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies, and continuous monitoring of third-party scripts to maintain security and compliance.

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.

Priority findings

5 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

    • 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

  2. 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
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 6 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography

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 company operates as a key municipal service provider in the energy and environmental sector, focusing on wastewater treatment and sewer network management. Its business model is service-oriented, targeting local residents and businesses requiring wastewater disposal and environmental compliance. The affiliation with the Stadtwerke Lutherstadt Wittenberg group provides synergy and resource sharing with related subsidiaries in telecommunications, municipal services, and leisure. The website reflects a mature digital presence with clear branding and comprehensive service information, supporting customer engagement and transparency. Growth indicators include active social media channels and detailed service descriptions. The company’s competitive advantage lies in its local expertise, regulatory compliance, and integrated service offerings within the Stadtwerke group ecosystem.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is managed with a privacy layer supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a gap in defense-in-depth strategies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and eyeAble requires ongoing vigilance to prevent supply chain risks. The lack of a published incident response or security policy page limits transparency and preparedness communication. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a municipal service website but would benefit from formalizing security policies and enhancing technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a clear incident response policy and contact channels to improve transparency and readiness for security events.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program, including a security.txt file, to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate risks from outdated or vulnerable components.
  5. Enhance user trust by providing more detailed business certifications or compliance statements on the website.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the TYPO3 CMS platform, a robust and widely used open-source content management system suitable for municipal and enterprise websites. It uses modern frontend libraries such as jQuery and Swiper.js for interactive elements and integrates accessibility tools like eyeAble, indicating a commitment to inclusive design. The site is mobile responsive and optimized for SEO with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in asset loading and caching strategies. Hosting details are not explicitly disclosed, but the domain uses name servers from knipp.de, a known DNS provider. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting reliable business operations with opportunities for further modernization and security hardening.
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.
