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. 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. 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 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. 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

The company holds a strong regional market position as the official tourism marketing entity for Bayreuth and Upper Franconia. Its competitive advantage lies in comprehensive cultural and event information, multilingual support, and integrated booking services. Revenue streams likely include tourism promotion funding and commissions from accommodation bookings. The target customer segments are tourists, culture enthusiasts, and event attendees. Growth indicators include active social media presence and continuous content updates. Partnerships with regional government and cultural institutions are evident. The company operates with a medium organizational size and focuses on hospitality and government sectors.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS, cookie consent, and no apparent vulnerabilities. However, it lacks published security policies, incident response procedures, and vulnerability disclosure channels, which are critical for comprehensive security governance and compliance with regulations like GDPR and NIS2. Data protection officer contact information is not provided, which may be a compliance gap. The use of third-party plugins necessitates regular security audits. Overall, the security culture appears adequate but could benefit from formalized policies and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a detailed privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the website footer or main menu.
  2. Implement and publish a security policy and incident response plan, including contact channels for security issues.
  3. Create a vulnerability disclosure policy and host a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide data protection officer contact information to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern WordPress CMS with a robust plugin ecosystem including Yoast SEO Premium for SEO optimization, Algolia for enhanced search functionality, and Borlabs Cookie for GDPR-compliant cookie management. The site uses jQuery and various JavaScript libraries for interactivity and user experience enhancements. Hosting is managed via Kasserver.com nameservers, indicating a dedicated hosting environment. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in script loading and caching. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with semantic HTML and ARIA attributes. Technical risks include dependency on multiple third-party plugins which require vigilant security maintenance.
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.
