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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

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 firmly positions itself as the official digital presence of the Augsburg city government, focusing on delivering public sector services and information. Its business model revolves around transparency, citizen engagement, and tourism promotion rather than commercial revenue generation. The site maintains a consistent brand identity and professional content quality, reinforcing trust and authority. External links to partners and service providers such as Spotify, Vimeo, and Google indicate integration of multimedia and marketing tools to enrich user experience. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers in the analyzed content suggests contact is likely managed through dedicated forms or other official channels.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and the use of privacy-respecting analytics (Matomo). Cookie consent is actively managed with Cookiebot, ensuring compliance with GDPR requirements. While explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were not identified in the provided HTML snippet, the overall setup indicates adherence to good security practices typical for government websites. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Recommendations include verifying and implementing comprehensive security headers and conducting regular security audits to maintain resilience against emerging threats.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Conduct periodic security audits and vulnerability assessments of the TYPO3 CMS and all third-party extensions.
  3. Enhance transparency by providing explicit contact information such as official emails and phone numbers on the website.
  4. Maintain and update cookie consent mechanisms to reflect evolving privacy regulations and user expectations.
  5. Invest in continuous accessibility improvements to ensure compliance with latest standards and broaden user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging a modern and extensible content management framework suitable for government portals. It integrates Matomo analytics for user behavior tracking while respecting privacy, and Cookiebot for consent management. Accessibility is enhanced via the Eye-Able widget. Hosting is managed through m-online.net, with multiple nameservers indicating redundancy. Performance is moderate, with preloading of fonts and asynchronous loading of scripts to optimize user experience. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical risks are minimal but could be further mitigated by implementing additional security headers and ensuring all third-party scripts are regularly reviewed.
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.
