0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

The website www.bad-duerrheim.info represents the official municipal portal for the city of Bad Dürrheim, Germany, a prominent spa town located between the Black Forest and the Swabian Jura. It serves as a comprehensive information hub for residents, tourists, and businesses, offering details on city services, events, economic development, and community engagement. The site positions the city as a desirable living and economic location with a focus on quality of life and sustainable growth. Technically, the site is built on the cEasy CMS platform, leveraging modern web standards including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. It integrates Matomo analytics for visitor tracking with a strong emphasis on privacy, disabling cookies by default and providing a detailed cookie consent mechanism. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with clear navigation and structured content. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent aligned with GDPR requirements. However, it lacks explicit security headers and does not publicly disclose incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the website demonstrates a mature digital presence appropriate for a municipal government entity, balancing user experience, privacy, and security. The absence of WHOIS data due to privacy protection is typical for such entities and does not detract from the site's legitimacy. Strategic improvements could focus on enhancing security headers and publishing formal security policies to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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. 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

  2. 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';…
  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

Bad Dürrheim's municipal website reflects a government entity focused on community services, tourism promotion, and economic development. The city leverages its status as a spa town to attract visitors and investors, providing detailed information on living, working, and leisure opportunities. The business model centers on public service delivery and regional development rather than commercial revenue generation. The site’s content and structure indicate a medium-sized municipal operation with a stable market position in the regional government sector. Partnerships with local organizations and external platforms like Crossiety and Ferienprogramm support community engagement. The digital presence is professional and consistent, supporting the city’s strategic goals of transparency, accessibility, and citizen participation.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with mandatory HTTPS and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism that respects user privacy and complies with GDPR. The use of Matomo analytics configured to disable cookies by default further enhances privacy protection. However, the absence of common security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection represents an area for improvement. No forms on the homepage collect personal data, reducing attack surface. The lack of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure information limits transparency in security management. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but would benefit from enhanced security header implementation and formal security policy disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection) to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish an incident response policy and provide dedicated security contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  4. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic testing to maintain compliance with accessibility standards.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving legal requirements and best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by the cEasy CMS version 5.3.5, indicating a specialized content management system tailored for municipal websites. The front-end uses standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, with asynchronous loading of scripts to optimize performance. Matomo analytics is integrated for privacy-focused visitor tracking. The site includes responsive design elements and accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles. Performance is moderate, with lazy loading of images and prefetching of resources. The site lacks some modern security headers, which could be added to improve security posture. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available from the content. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with room for modernization in security and performance optimization.
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.
