Technically, the site uses standard web technologies with external font hosting and JavaScript for UI and cookie management.

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. 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. 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. 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
  • 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

SWB Bus und Bahn holds a strong market position as a major public transport provider in Bonn, supported by its parent company Stadtwerke Bonn, a municipal utility. The business model centers on public transportation services and employment opportunities, targeting local job seekers including career changers and qualified drivers. The company benefits from municipal backing, a large employee base, and a comprehensive service network. Its partnership ecosystem includes related domains for career applications and corporate information. The website supports recruitment efforts and brand consistency, reinforcing trust and professionalism. Growth indicators include ongoing hiring campaigns and emphasis on sustainable transport solutions.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism in place, supporting GDPR compliance. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options, which are recommended best practices. No explicit security policy or incident response contact information is published, limiting transparency for security incidents. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present. The absence of tracking scripts reduces privacy risks but also limits analytics insights. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a public-facing recruitment site but could be improved to enhance protection and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen site security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.
  5. Consider integrating privacy-friendly analytics to monitor site performance and user engagement.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a straightforward technical stack with HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. External fonts are loaded from a CDN, and scripts are minimal, focusing on UI and cookie consent functionality. Hosting is managed via NetCologne as indicated by the nameservers. The site is mobile responsive and well-structured, supporting good SEO practices. Performance is moderate with no heavy scripts detected. There is no evidence of a CMS or complex frameworks, suggesting a custom or lightweight implementation. Opportunities exist to modernize by adding progressive web app features or enhanced accessibility compliance. Technical risks are low given the simple architecture but could increase if security headers and policies are not implemented.
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.
