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

Gemeinde Beilrode operates as a local government entity providing administrative, informational, and community services to residents and visitors in the Beilrode area of Germany. The website serves as a portal for municipal information, event announcements, and public service access, positioning itself as a trusted local government resource. Technically, the site uses a specialized CMS platform (verwaltungsportal.de) with common web technologies such as jQuery and Material Design Lite, offering moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though lacking advanced security headers and explicit incident response policies. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with GDPR requirements, suitable for its public sector role.

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

6 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. 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

  3. 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';…

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 website targets local residents, tourists, and businesses within the municipality, focusing on providing transparent access to government services and community engagement. Its business model is non-commercial, centered on public service delivery. The site integrates social media for outreach and uses cookie consent mechanisms to comply with privacy laws. The lack of commercial advertising or affiliate programs aligns with its government sector nature. The platform's partnership with 'Sachsen vernetzt' indicates regional collaboration. Growth indicators are limited due to the nature of the entity, but the site maintains consistent branding and content quality.

Security posture

Security maturity is moderate; HTTPS is properly configured, and cookie consent is implemented with clear categories and retention policies. However, the absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of a published security policy or incident response contacts represent gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site uses third-party scripts including Facebook SDK, which introduces some tracking but is common for social media integration. Overall, the site meets basic security and privacy standards expected for a municipal website but could improve in advanced security practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page including incident response procedures and contact channels for reporting security issues.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility features to improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Increase transparency by providing terms of service and data protection officer contact information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a specialized CMS platform tailored for municipal websites (verwaltungsportal.de), leveraging technologies like jQuery, Nivo Slider, and Material Design Lite for UI components. The site loads multiple external CSS and JS resources from trusted domains. Performance is moderate with lazy loading of images and a slider for visual engagement. Accessibility is basic with skip links and ARIA roles but could be improved. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph data present but no structured JSON-LD detected. Hosting details are not explicit, but domain uses German name servers consistent with local hosting. Overall, the technical implementation is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced performance tuning.
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.
