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

The website www.bayerisch-eisenstein.de serves as the official municipal portal for the community of Bayerisch Eisenstein, Germany. It provides comprehensive information and services for residents and tourists, including local government details, tourism highlights, event listings, and accommodation options. The site leverages TYPO3 CMS and integrates accessibility tools to enhance user experience. Social media channels are actively linked, supporting community engagement and tourism promotion. The content is well-structured, professionally presented, and localized in German, targeting both local citizens and visitors to the Bavarian Forest region. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies such as TYPO3 CMS, Owl Carousel, PhotoSwipe, and Google Analytics for tracking. Hosting is managed via agenturserver, with proper HTTPS encryption and cookie consent mechanisms in place, reflecting good digital maturity. Accessibility features and mobile optimization are well implemented, contributing to a positive user experience. From a security perspective, the website demonstrates a solid posture with HTTPS enabled, cookie consent, and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, some recommended security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options are not explicitly detected and could be added to enhance security. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which could be improved to increase transparency and readiness. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professionally maintained, and compliant with GDPR requirements. It effectively supports the municipality's communication and tourism objectives while maintaining a good security and privacy baseline.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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"

      • 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Bayerisch Eisenstein's municipal website positions itself as a key regional information hub, combining government services with tourism promotion. The business model is primarily governmental with a strong emphasis on hospitality and tourism sectors. The site supports local businesses by listing accommodations and events, fostering community engagement. Partnerships with regional tourism organizations and integration with external portals indicate a collaborative ecosystem. The presence of social media and online booking links suggests a modern approach to visitor engagement. Growth indicators include active event promotion and digital accessibility enhancements. The site serves a small-sized community with a focused regional market presence.

Security posture

The security maturity of the website is moderate to good. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and eyeAble accessibility tools is managed without exposing sensitive data. However, the absence of some security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options represents an area for improvement. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are published, which limits transparency. There is no evidence of security incidents or malware. Overall, the site maintains a secure environment suitable for a municipal portal but could enhance its security posture by adopting additional headers and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options HTTP headers to strengthen security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance transparency by adding terms of service and vulnerability disclosure information.
  5. Continue improving accessibility and mobile optimization to maintain high user experience standards.

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system suitable for governmental and tourism websites. It uses modern JavaScript libraries such as Owl Carousel for interactive elements and PhotoSwipe for image galleries. Google Analytics is integrated for visitor tracking, and eyeAble tools provide accessibility features. The site is hosted on agenturserver, indicated by the nameservers, suggesting professional hosting.

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.
