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

The website www.behoerden-serviceportal.de is a German government service portal designed to provide citizens and businesses with digital access to administrative services and online applications. The portal aims to facilitate 24/7 access to government services, enhancing convenience and efficiency for its target audience. The site is hosted on Deutsche Telekom infrastructure, indicating a reliable hosting environment appropriate for government operations. The technical infrastructure employs modern web technologies including Duet Web Components, ensuring mobile optimization and a good user experience. However, SEO is limited due to the robots meta tag set to noindex, nofollow, which restricts search engine indexing. Security posture is weak as no security headers or explicit security policies are detected, and privacy compliance is minimal with no visible privacy or cookie policies. The domain registration data aligns with the expected hosting and business profile, supporting legitimacy. Overall, the site is functional and professional but requires improvements in security, privacy compliance, and SEO to enhance trust and visibility.

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

8 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

    • 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

  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

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 portal serves as an essential digital gateway for government administrative services in Germany, targeting both citizens and businesses. Its business model is focused on public sector digital transformation, providing key services such as online applications for various administrative processes. The market position is that of a government-backed platform, likely with high trust among its users but limited commercial competition. The portal does not display explicit partnership or subsidiary relationships in the analyzed content. Revenue streams are not applicable as it is a public service. Growth indicators include adoption of modern web technologies and mobile optimization. Strategic observations suggest the portal could benefit from enhanced transparency in privacy and security policies to align with GDPR and NIS2 compliance requirements.

Security posture

The current security maturity level appears low based on the absence of security headers, lack of visible security policies, and no incident response contact information. There are no detected vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data in the provided content, but the lack of security best practices such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options headers is a concern. Compliance gaps exist regarding GDPR indicators and cookie consent mechanisms. Incident response readiness is not evident, and no security culture indicators are visible. The business impact of these gaps could include reduced user trust and potential regulatory scrutiny. Enhancing security posture with proper headers, policies, and contact channels is recommended.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  2. Add and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish incident response and security contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Review and adjust robots meta tag to allow search engine indexing for better SEO and discoverability.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to maintain a strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript with Duet Web Components framework, indicating a contemporary front-end technology stack. Hosting is provided by Deutsche Telekom, a reputable provider, ensuring stable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. However, SEO is hindered by the noindex, nofollow robots meta tag. There is no detected CMS or third-party analytics or advertising scripts, suggesting a focused government portal without commercial tracking. Technical risks include lack of security headers and privacy compliance features, which could impact user trust and regulatory compliance.
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.
