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

4 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

  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 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

  4. 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 · 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

The Brücken-Center Ansbach targets local residents and visitors seeking shopping and dining experiences in a centralized location. With over 90 shops and restaurants, it positions itself as a comprehensive retail and service hub in the region. The business model revolves around leasing retail spaces, providing gastronomy, and offering additional services such as parking benefits and gift vouchers. The website supports this model by showcasing tenant shops, events, and services, facilitating customer engagement and sales. The presence of social media channels and a cookie consent mechanism indicates awareness of modern digital marketing and compliance requirements. No parent or subsidiary companies are indicated, suggesting an independent regional operation.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a cookie consent banner, aligning with GDPR requirements. It integrates third-party scripts such as Google Tag Manager and Cookiefirst, which are industry-standard tools for analytics and consent management. However, no explicit security headers were detected in the HTML content, and there is no visible security or incident response policy page. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the source. The absence of a security.txt or incident response contact limits transparency in case of security incidents. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a retail website but could be enhanced by adding security headers and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve security posture.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy or incident response page with contact details for reporting security issues.
  3. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider adding a terms of service page to clarify user and business obligations and legal protections.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Contao Open Source CMS, a PHP-based content management system, combined with modern frontend libraries including jQuery, Bootstrap 5, and Slick Carousel for responsive design and interactive elements. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics, and Cookiefirst manages cookie consent, indicating a mature approach to privacy compliance. Hosting appears to be managed by DV Intern, as indicated by the nameservers. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data beyond minimal JSON-LD for page type. The site uses Google Maps API with user consent for location display. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced SEO and accessibility improvements.
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.
