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. 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. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 key marketing and informational platform for the Annaberg-Buchholz municipal Christmas market, leveraging official city branding and certifications such as the Excellent European Christmas Market. Its business model focuses on event promotion and tourism enhancement, targeting families and cultural tourists. The site integrates social media channels to extend reach and engagement. The absence of commercial sales or e-commerce indicates a non-profit or government-supported initiative. The partnership ecosystem includes local vendors and gastronomy providers featured on the site. Growth indicators include updated event programs and new offerings like family services. The website's professional content and consistent branding reinforce its market position as a premier holiday event destination.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and no exposed sensitive data in the HTML content. It uses modern JavaScript libraries without known vulnerabilities. However, it lacks published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are important for transparency and readiness. Security headers are not explicitly detected, suggesting room for improvement in defense-in-depth. Privacy compliance is strong, reflecting GDPR adherence. The site does not show signs of malware or phishing. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adding formal security documentation and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Add incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Regularly audit third-party libraries and update to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Sitepark CMS platform, utilizing JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Slick Carousel, and TinyMCE for rich interactive content. The use of SVG icons and responsive images indicates modern front-end practices. Hosting is provided by rzone.de, a known German hosting provider. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD for breadcrumbs). The site uses plausible.io for privacy-friendly analytics, minimizing user tracking. Technical risks are low, but the absence of advanced security headers and incident response details suggests potential areas for modernization and risk reduction.
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.
