The site targets job seekers interested in public sector employment within the city, emphasizing a diverse range of professions and a strong employer brand supported by employee testimonials. The business model is that of a public sector employer promoting recruitment and workforce development. The site is well-positioned as a trusted municipal resource with a large workforce and a clear focus on community engagement. Technically, the website is built on ASP.NET WebForms with the onpublix CMS platform and uses JavaScript libraries such as slick slider and etracker analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and a moderate performance profile. Privacy and cookie policies are present with consent mechanisms, reflecting GDPR compliance. However, some security headers are missing, and no explicit security or incident response policies are published. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. The use of etracker analytics is accompanied by cookie consent, indicating a moderate user tracking level with good privacy compliance. No vulnerabilities or suspicious domains were detected. The WHOIS data shows generic DNS providers without detailed registrant info, but no suspicious patterns were found, supporting a high legitimacy score. Overall, the website is a professional, secure, and compliant municipal job portal with strong business credibility and good user experience. Recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and possibly adding terms of service to improve transparency and trust.

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

6 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. 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

  3. 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 Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  4. 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

Stadt Bergisch Gladbach operates as a large municipal government employer in Germany, providing a broad spectrum of public sector jobs and training programs. The portal supports recruitment by showcasing job offers, apprenticeship opportunities, and employer benefits. The target audience includes local residents, students, and professionals seeking stable employment in the public sector. The business model relies on public funding and workforce development to maintain city services. The website's content and testimonials reinforce a positive employer brand and community connection. The absence of detailed registrant WHOIS data is a minor gap but does not detract from the portal's legitimacy. The site integrates with social media (Facebook) and uses etracker for analytics, indicating a moderate digital marketing approach. No affiliate or advertising networks are present, focusing on organic recruitment efforts.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with mandatory HTTPS and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Cookie consent mechanisms are implemented for analytics tracking, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents an area for improvement. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is published, limiting transparency for security researchers. Incident response contact information is not provided, which could hinder timely reporting of security issues. The use of third-party scripts like etracker and YouTube embeds is managed with user consent prompts, reducing privacy risks. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but could enhance defenses and transparency to align with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  3. Add a terms of service page to clarify user rights and responsibilities.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature ASP.NET WebForms framework with the onpublix CMS, indicating a stable but somewhat dated technology stack. JavaScript libraries such as slick slider are used for UI components. The site loads external scripts asynchronously, including etracker analytics and YouTube embeds with consent prompts, which is good for performance and privacy. The HTML is well-structured with proper meta tags for SEO and viewport settings for mobile responsiveness. Performance is moderate, likely due to large image sliders and multiple external scripts. Accessibility is basic, with some support for no-JavaScript users. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified, but DNS uses generic ondns servers. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
