Stadt Bergisch Gladbach · Government · Germany
Low risk. 2 critical or high findings in Security headers and SSL/TLS.
The website www.bergischgladbach.de serves as the official online presence of the city of Bergisch Gladbach, Germany. It provides comprehensive municipal information, citizen services, news updates, event information, and access to various public resources. The site targets residents and visitors, offering a broad range of services including citizen office information, urban planning, cultural events, and social services. The business model is that of a government municipal service provider, with a strong focus on transparency and accessibility. Technically, the site is built on ASP.NET WebForms with modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Owl Carousel. It employs a cookie consent mechanism powered by consentmanager.net and uses eTracker for analytics. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. The presence of CAPTCHA on contact forms and HTTPS enforcement indicates a good security posture. Security-wise, the website demonstrates solid practices including HTTPS, cookie consent, and spam prevention. However, it lacks explicit security policies or incident response contacts, and could improve by adding more security headers and a vulnerability disclosure policy. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected. Overall, the site is trustworthy, professionally maintained, and compliant with GDPR requirements. It effectively serves its purpose as a municipal information portal with a good balance of usability, security, and privacy compliance.
Scanned
NIS2 Art. 21(2)
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.
2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
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.

What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application
TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.
Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1
What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.
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
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.
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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.
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.
