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

7 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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';…

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 business is positioned as a key public service provider in the waste management sector within its region, leveraging a public service business model supported by the Landkreis Böblingen. It benefits from a stable customer base of households and businesses, with growth potential through sustainability initiatives and digital services like the customer portal. Partnerships with local organizations and campaigns enhance community engagement. The company maintains a consistent brand and offers a broad range of services including waste collection, fee management, educational workshops, and recycling facilities. The absence of a terms of service page and incident response contacts suggests areas for maturity improvement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS and cookie consent compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options indicates room for enhancement. The use of third-party scripts is controlled, but continuous monitoring is recommended. GDPR compliance is evident through privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be elevated by formalizing security governance and disclosure practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Implement additional HTTP security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
  5. Enhance user privacy controls and provide detailed data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and stable technology stack based on dvv-Mastertemplates CMS with jQuery, Bootstrap, and FontAwesome for UI components. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified but uses German name servers consistent with the regional focus. The site integrates external services for cookie consent and analytics (Matomo). There is no indication of technical debt or deprecated technologies, but some improvements in security headers and performance optimization could be beneficial.
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.
