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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

    • 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';…
  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

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

A.R.T. operates as a government entity focused on waste management services in the Trier region. Its market position is that of a regional authority providing essential environmental services. The business model is publicly funded and service-oriented, targeting households and businesses for waste collection and disposal. The website supports customer engagement through portals and apps, indicating a focus on digital service delivery. Growth indicators include new service introductions such as voluntary biotonne and textile collection. Partnerships with local farmers and certified recyclers are evident. The organization maintains a professional online presence with consistent branding and comprehensive service information.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism that respects user privacy. No exposed credentials or sensitive data were found. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which could be enhanced to improve security readiness and transparency. The site does not appear to use vulnerable libraries based on the technologies detected. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a public service website but could benefit from additional hardening and policy disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options headers to enhance security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Conduct regular security audits and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and providing a data protection officer contact.
  5. Improve SEO and accessibility by adding structured data (JSON-LD) for organization and contact information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack with React and Next.js frameworks, supported by Material-UI for UI components. The site is server-side rendered for performance and SEO benefits. Images are optimized with responsive srcsets. The site includes a cookie consent manager from consentmanager.net, indicating integration of third-party privacy tools. The CMS appears to be a headless or custom solution, inferred from JSON data structures. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. There is no evidence of legacy or deprecated technologies. Technical risks are minimal but include the need for improved security headers and explicit security policies.
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.
