Große Kreisstadt Annaberg-Buchholz · Government · Germany
Medium risk. 4 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view, SSL/TLS and 1 other check.
The website www.annaberg-buchholz.de serves as the official municipal portal for the Große Kreisstadt Annaberg-Buchholz in Saxony, Germany. It provides local news, event information, tourism details, and citizen services, positioning itself as a key information hub for residents and visitors. The site is professionally designed with consistent branding and good content quality, targeting a general audience interested in municipal affairs and local culture. Technically, the website is built on the Information Enterprise Server platform by Sitepark GmbH, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Slick Carousel for interactive elements. It is hosted on infrastructure likely provided by Deutsche Telekom AG, with HTTPS enabled ensuring secure communications. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and accessibility features, though performance is moderate. From a security perspective, the site benefits from HTTPS and lacks visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks explicit security headers and does not provide clear privacy or cookie policies, which are important for GDPR compliance. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available, indicating room for improvement in security transparency. Overall, the website is trustworthy and credible as a government portal but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security policy disclosures to strengthen user trust and regulatory adherence.
Scanned
NIS2 Art. 21(2)
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.
4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.
EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements
What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures
GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage
What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes
TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.
SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak
What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key
DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.
SPF record has permissive policy allowing any server to send email
What to do: Use -all or ~all qualifier for better email security

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.
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
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.
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.
Risk levels
Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.
Leaked records that mention annaberg-buchholz.de, from OffSeq Breach.
No leaked records found
Breach holds no records for annaberg-buchholz.de right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.
Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.
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.
